Sexyland
Sexyland is the most culturally challenging enterprise in Amsterdam. With the unique concept of having a different owner every night, it is a place where experimentation and different cultures come together. Its successor is a temporary cultural center in a newly constructed building at the NDSM. The building is open to the public with ongoing programming in all spaces. The programming is provided by a collective of more than twenty completely diverse cultural, creative, and social parties. The collaboration is based on an innovative economic model, driven by content, and based on mutual solidarity.

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.
