Oscar Sanders’ architectural practice has its foundation in social- and urban entrepreneurship. His graduation project serving as the poster child – ‘Het Zilveren Kind’ was a study designed to create stimulating collective housing for people with multiple disabilities in an urban context.

Designing space knows multiple forms within his practice. As an entrepreneur he embarked on a socially fueled journey that flowed into two cultural venues called Garage Noord and kanaal40. One focussed on offering a progressive cultural program and the other showing a dedication to micropopculture. Both serving as explorative safe havens for a diverse and inclusive public, both objecting to cultural institutions being pushed outside of cities borders.

This vision comes to life maintaining a practical approach with extensive experience in working with model- and material studies, sketching, collages and maquettes. His design process is intuitive and physical, and an overview of his relevant work is available to review here.

Urban Campsite Amsterdam
Urban Campsite Amsterdam is an open-air art exhibition where visitors can stay overnight in the installations, transforming the exhibition into a temporary campsite. The third edition was held at the Science Park, where natural science research, exact sciences, ICT, and biology are accommodated. The design for the installation is based on the inventions from one of the most famous scientists before the industrial revolution: Leonardo Da Vinci. A sleeping object with an spam resulting from the stacking of beams in certain sequence and a pattern. The structure is maintained by the downward forces of gravity and counterweight. Characteristic is the simplicity of the construction without hidden connections.
