Practice what you preach
As architects, we find ourselves at the very centre of society. The architectural profession touches many cultural, social, educational and environmental issues. Kraaijvanger feels responsible to actively make a positive contribution in all areas. This raises awareness, establishes new contacts and gives inspiration. Advice is always better when coming from experience. We learn a lot from experimenting and personal experience. Practise what you preach!
