I was nervous because we decided to take our bicycles as well so we wouldn't have to take the trams when we get in to the city. Although I'm pretty confident on a bicycle now, my initial experience biking in Amsterdam still made me nervous.<br />
<br />
The crowds of bicycles were my biggest worry, and yeah, they were still something to deal with, but it wasn't as difficult as it was on the slower side being a sunday. Whew!<br />

I got to try a different role for this interview as we had a different set from the usual film crew. Sound and audio was my responsibility for this session and I had an interesting time trying to handle the boom mic. Marjolein Wintjes and Eric Meursing of De Culinaire Werkplaats are really intriguing people. I love how they call themselves 'initiators' instead of something else. They view themselves as provokers of thought on the subject of food. The way they approach their craft brings a much more fresh approach to culinary design and instead of just focusing on the taste, they focus on the why. Ideas of thinking about food, what we eat, where it comes from, why we eat what we eat, why we prefer one food over another, why does this cost this much, why, and why and why. They question the whole notion of what we think of as food and it's incredible to break out of the box and think about the reasons behind everything we know about food.<br />

Afterwards, we decided to have dinner at the place that we were told about. <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.ca/Restaurant_Review-g188590-d3628357-Reviews-Worst_Wijncafe-Amsterdam_North_Holland_Province.html" target="_blank">Worst</a>. What a name. The Worst. Get it? Haha. But yes, they specialize in sausages, like wursts. They were delicious, they have some great standard dishes like the <i>kipcurrywurst </i>curry chicken sausage and the <i>lamwurst</i> lamb sausage. A few items on the menu seemed especially unique like the <i>kreeftenworst met koolrabi en spinazie</i> lobster sausage with kohlrabi and spinach or the veal tongue "weisswurst" with lentil and leeks or what I really want to try but didn't, the pieds de cochon (pig feet) with white beans and roasted tomato. Mmmm. Must come back!<br />

The museum also displays some of Philips' recent product developments. Their research into healthcare and environments opens up new opportunities and I find them very interesting. Products such as <a href="http://www.lighting.philips.com/main/application_areas/healthcare/healwell.wpd" target="_blank">HealWell</a> that explore the correlation between controlled lighting and health, the <a href="http://www.ecat.lighting.philips.com/l/oem/led-systems/led-horticulture/greenpower-led/929000486803_eu//" target="_blank">GreenPower LED</a> technology that improves efficiency in greenhouses, and the <a href="http://www.colorkinetics.com/" target="_blank">Color Kinetics</a> system that enables flexible lighting control without requiring re-wiring.<br />

The venue was close enough that someone said to "Open your windows!" and we could hear the music flowing in.<br />
<br />
The tasting club took our first dinner at <a href="http://www.radioroyaal.be/" target="_blank">Radio Royaal</a> in the Strijp-S area in Eindhoven. We were here to try out the restaurant before we chose a restaurant for our group dinner tomorrow. I got the <i>3-gangen menu</i> or the 3-course menu as it is a great deal.<br />
<br />
I always have lots of fun with menus with unfamiliar dishes, but it's always a delight looking at a menu in a completely foreign language so every dish is a surprise (though our waitress did walk us through to explain what most of the dishes were), as trying to interpret mystery menus without any help is always excites me.<br />

This was easily one of the best meals I have had on the trip. Every dish was delicious, all courses were consistent in quality, taste and presentation. The ambience is a unique experience with the building being a former power plant. Turbines are still in place and the support beams are exposed giving a very industrial feel. Pushing the quirkiness of the environment even more, a wooden swing is installed along with a metal net badminton court. The open kitchen makes the process of cooking food very transparent and is representative of the Dutch mindset of openness.<br />
<br />
Of course, as they offered panna cotta on the dessert menu I had to order it. I am usually disappointed with the blandness of panna cotta...BUT I was blown away and amazed by their version. This is by far the best panna cotta I have ever tasted.<br />
<br />
Creamy texture of panna cotta + sweet tartness of blood orange marmalade + tartness of the lemon yogurt mousse = AMAZING!<br />
<br />
I would come back just for that panna cotta, but everything on the menu is delicious. Though I will have to say the best cooking from this place are the desserts.Jeffrey Quahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08239659289441098287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36006477.post-75331054435493434532013-05-30T00:32:00.000-07:002013-07-09T01:25:19.953-07:00Dutch Design - Day 34 - Eindhoven Day 6 - Dual Interview Day "Design is to define and redefine"This was not a good morning. On our way to our first interview of the day, around Strijp-S, I was unfortunate enough to get into a bike accident and took a dive into the pavement. The guy who clipped me hit my back wheel. He barely asked if I was alright before he sped off without any consideration of my well-being. I didn't feel hurt at all, but when I checked later at the first stop, my right knee was scratched up pretty bad.<div>

Our second interview of the day was fun. We got to interview <a href="http://www.jetskevisser.nl/" target="_blank">Jetske Visser</a> at her new atelier. I really appreciated this interview over some of the other ones. Unlike the previous interviews with other designers who are more well established and have had been designing for quite a while, it was great to see design from someone who's coming in from a fresher and younger perspective. She was less clear with her intentions of creating her designs and expresses instead her fascination with exploring the limits of techniques and materials. She is such a nice person and I hope great things for her.<br />

How far do we go with this actual idea of needs. Do we need or we do desire?"Dual interview day within Eindhoven loaded with so many ideas. It was a long day as our second interview at edhv ran long.<br />
<br />
Our morning was rough as we had to ride our bicycles through the pouring rain to get to our first studio, <a href="http://nachocarbonell.com/" target="_blank">Nacho Carbonell</a>. The interview was awesome, Nacho is such an inspiring person with very clear ideas on asking hard questions of why. One of the strongest insights I got was from his rhetorical question of asking about why objects<br />
<br />
<b>"What I'm trying is to understand is probably this obsession that we have with objects and this necessity that we have with objects. I think we are in need of some things, but, why? How far do we go with this actual idea of needs? Do we need or we do desire?"</b><br />

Our second interview was with Wendy Plomp and Remco van de Craats at the <a href="http://www.edhv.nl/" target="_blank">edhv</a> studio. We were pretty drained as this interview was very long but we were given with such great insights. Wendy was so awesome, she talked to us about her involvement with the Dutch Invertuals and was kind enough to give us some Dutch Invertuals swag.<br />
Remco gave us an in-depth explanation on edhv's process and the creation of their process books. Being able to visit a design studio and having someone share their studio's process is such a humbling experience. Asking them to take time out of their day to tell us what they do already feels like an intrusion into their work, but when they go the extra effort to tell their story and share a little bit about themselves and their knowledge, it's a heartwarming feeling of honest connection and respect.<br />

I went with a few others to check out a few design shops around the city. I didn't buy anything since I didn't see anything I really wanted, but it was still nice to look around.<br />

Also checked out the Blob and 18 Septemberplein where there was the weekly Tuesday market was taking place and of course after seeing the fish stalls, we had to get some fresh fish to eat! We had some of the classic Dutch dish of <i>haring</i> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soused_herring" target="_blank">herring</a>. Afterwards, we noticed some of the locals choosing the fried fish. We ordered one of the <i><a href="http://www.thedutchtable.com/2012/10/kibbeling.html" target="_blank">kibbelings</a></i> with garlic cream sauce to share.<br />
OH MAN. THIS WAS DELICIOUS. I should have more of this, but too bad this market is only open once a week.<br />

We visited a design shop on Strijp-S called <a href="http://www.yksi.nl/" target="_blank">yksiwinkel</a>. We were talking to the ladies working there and we realized we were talking to one of the Dutch Invertuals, <a href="http://vanbrit.com/" target="_blank">Brit van Nerven</a>. It is really interesting how small the design community in Eindhoven is and everybody knows everybody.<br />

<br />
Our first interview of the day was with Lonny Van Ryswyck of <a href="http://www.ateliernl.com/" target="_blank">Atelier NL</a>. I was pretty floored by their studio because it was very different than any of the other studios we have visited or any I would have imagined. Atelier NL approaches design from a more scientific approach. The most unexpected element for me in their studio was the presence AND active use of a microscope. I do not feel that their work of material exploration was particularly aligned with my values but I was totally wrong after seeing how they approach everything in a very scientific way using methodological experimentation. Very cool place!<br />

Second interview of the day was with Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin of <a href="http://www.formafantasma.com/" target="_blank">Formafantasma</a>. Their work was similar to Atelier NL's working with materials. I was really impressed when they started talking about their philosophy. They are representative of the European idea of design where art and design are the same. The work they produce is artistic in terms of having very conceptual ideas and a message. The message and ideas they use are rooted deep within cultural and social contexts that really intrigue me.<br />
<br />
One of the examples they used was really specific and highly specialized and I was happy to be able to understand it when they were talking about it. They talked about the city of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bras%C3%ADlia" target="_blank">Brasilia</a> as an example of an idea that is actualized in reality (of Le Corbusier's architectural ideas). Even though the city was a failure, it was beyond the point. It was the fact that conceptualized ideas became reality. This struck me deeply as one of the most important points I have learned during the field school.<br />

Afterwards, I went on an evening biking trip with Robbie, Christine, Yvonne, and Dan. We went out through the Strijp-S area (where I sadly dropped my s95 and it is now scratched up and a bit damaged). The weather was beautiful and it was a perfect night to go out and enjoy the city. This was one of the most enjoyable trips I have ever had. It was an exhilarating feeling finally being able to comfortably ride a bicycle. I felt like a six-year old just exploring a new world.<br />

First trip was to scope out the city and we rode the longest distance possible across the city to get lunch at Restaurant <a href="http://www.pietheineek.nl/en/restaurant" target="_blank">Piet Hein Eek</a>. Fresh mint tea and their delicious Indonesian Peanut Soup (coconut milk, bamboo shoots, carrot, roasted peanuts, spring onion) served with a crunchy papadum. YUM YUM.<br />

Laundry adventure! We were having difficulties operating the machines at the coin-operated laundry retail shop. The signs weren't in English and the system wasn't clear. At one point, we were afraid we couldn't leave as the door was really sticky.<br />
<br />
There was a Dutch guy at the laundry who helped us out in trying to figure out how to use the machines as well as understanding how the laundromat worked in terms of the hours since it closes at 9. When we deposited too much money into the dryer and realized it was too long, we pulled all our clothes out. We offered him the dryer as it still had plenty of time deposited left and he chided about how "that was my plan all along to take your money. I am Dutch after all".<br />

For lunch, I went off on my solo food journey as I wanted to go to Lombardia. This restaurant was highly rated and people didn't want to come in with me because the prices were a little much. I loved the ginger tea they had. It was more like a ginger tea cappuccino. From the owner's recommendation, I also had the warm tuna sandwich with avocado. Mmmmm. So good. Pricey, but delicious, and mostly vegetarian.<br />

Our Studio Job interview didn't go through because of some issues so we went and enjoyed the city in the afternoon. Walked around the downtown area doing some window shopping with the excessive amount of fashion stores in Antwerp. Wowwww.<br />

For dinner, a few of us decided to find one of the places recommended on the local map guides, <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.ca/Restaurant_Review-g188636-d4059038-Reviews-Eethuisje_t_Neuzeke_Chez_Pe-Antwerp_Antwerp_Province.html" target="_blank">Eethuisje t' Neuzeke</a>. The original plan was to get their fixed price 3-course menu for 11Euro but they ran out of it when we got in so we just ordered a la carte. I got the <i>paardenstoofvlees</i> which is a horse stew made with beer. It tasted similar to the <i>carbonnade</i> beef stew I tried in Brussels. I couldn't really taste much difference between horse meat and beef.</div>
<div>
The calamari I got was not what I was expecting but was happily surprised when I bit into it. The squid was tender and yummy despite the crummy looking fry exterior.</div>

Most everyone else went home after dinner but I opted for some late night adventure and went to go find some interesting sights in Antwerp.<br />

I found the <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.ca/Attraction_Review-g188636-d3597755-Reviews-St_Anna_Tunnel-Antwerp_Antwerp_Province.html" target="_blank">St. Anna Tunnel</a>, a walking/biking tunnel that crosses underneath the Scheldt River. It was an interesting experience crossing and then getting a night view of Antwerp from across the river.<br />

<br />
To start, Vivian and I got fries at <a href="http://www.yelp.ca/biz/friterie-tabora-bruxelles" target="_blank">Friterie Tabora</a>. This fry place was my go to place last time I was in Brussels and I came here almost every day to get my Flemish Fries fix. I got the spicy sauce which was a nice change instead of just regular mayo.<br />

Of course, Brussels just ain't right without waffles. We went to <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.ca/Restaurant_Review-g188644-d1625626-Reviews-Mokafe-Brussels.html" target="_blank">Mokafe</a> inside the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galeries_Royales_Saint-Hubert" target="_blank">Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert</a>. I got the waffle with fresh strawberries, and Vivian got the waffle with vanilla ice cream and hot chocolate sauce.<br />

After walking around the city for a bit, we went for more food at <a href="http://www.poissonneriemerdunord.be/fr/home.asp" target="_blank">De Noordzee La Mer du Nord</a> fishbar. It was great to get warmed up as it was raining and cold out. I got the fish soup which came with grated cheese and toast with garlic spread. Vivian also ordered the seared tuna which was absolutely amazingggg!<br />

The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_Instrument_Museum_(Brussels)" target="_blank">Musical Instrument Museum</a> or the MIM was a really interesting experience. It was an interactive experience as they give you an audio player that plays different music when you get to different "instrument locations" that plays different songs depending on what instrument you are in front of. It's a cool experience to be able to aurally experience a space.<br />

We wanted to check out the Peter Paul Ruben's Triptych at a church here but I just realized as I'm writing this that it's not even in Brussels. XD. We thought it was the St. Catherine's Church but it's been closed permanently and we were frustrated because we didn't understand why it wasn't open.<br />

For dinner, we were craving seafood and we chose this place called <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.ca/Restaurant_Review-g188644-d1454324-Reviews-Les_Crustaces-Brussels.html" target="_blank">Les Crustaces</a>. I got the 3-course menu with fresh oysters to start. I got the Bouillabaise for my main, and got something called a Siberian pancake for dessert. YUM.<br />

For dinner, we found a restaurant while walking. We didn't know it was actually one of the best places to get authentic Belgian food and we were pleasantly surprised. I ordered the <i>carbonnade</i> and I was happily satisfied with the beef stew. Definitely hit up <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.ca/Restaurant_Review-g188644-d1852850-Reviews-Fin_de_Siecle-Brussels.html" target="_blank">Fin de Siecle</a> if you are in Brussels!<br />

First stop of the day, Muji! I picked up a few stationery items as well as an umbrella, seemed like the sensible thing to do as my light jacket is not as water resistant as I thought and the weather seems to favour the rain everywhere we go.<br />

Brunch = Creperie Bretonne. I found this place off a <a href="http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2006/03/the-best-crpes/" target="_blank">list of the best crepe places in Paris</a> from David Lebovitz's web blog. I got the <i>Andouille Gruyere</i> crêpe which was pretty tasty. I also wanted to try a Grand Marnière <i>crêpe flambée</i> but we were in a time crunch, so no dessert for me :(.<br />

The 6 of us met up with the rest of the film team (who went to do the Inga Sempe interview) at the <a href="http://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/" target="_blank">Musee d'Orsay</a>. The building is beautiful! So were all the artworks as the MO has the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mus%C3%A9e_d'Orsay" target="_blank">largest collection</a> of impressionist works. However, it was a battle to go in and move around with the sheer volume of people. It was an questionably enjoyable experience.<br />

Joanne, Dan and I went off on our own exploration adventure. We visited the <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_World_Institute" target="_blank">Institut du Monde Arabe</a></i> or the Arab World Institute designed by architect Jean Nouvel with its signature motor-controlled apertures that is supposed to act as a brise soleil. It was very cool to see close-up.<br />

Next stop, the <i>Bibliothèque Nationale de France</i>, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblioth%C3%A8que_nationale_de_France" target="_blank">National Library of France</a>. The 4-corner design is unique along with the jungle/forest in the center area below. The interior of the library (of the basement level at least) was really nice, though it feels like a maze somewhat to navigate.<br />

Pho around the world.<br />
Pho every night in Paris. Hahaha. We tried to go back to the restaurant we went on the first night but it w as closed, so we went to the one across the street at <a href="http://www.qype.fr/place/145802-Tin-Tin-Paris" target="_blank">Tin Tin</a>. Not bad, but nothing to write home about.<br />

We did a walking tour to start the day and again it was raining. We explored the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parc_des_Buttes_Chaumont" target="_blank">Parc Des Buttes de Chaumont</a> and also architect Bernard Tschumi's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parc_de_la_Villette" target="_blank">Parc de la Villette</a> with the 35 different architectural follies that are spread throughout the park.<br />

For lunch, we went to one of the classic, legendary French restaurants that has been open for over 100 years, <a href="http://www.bouillon-chartier.com/index.php/en" target="_blank">Bouillon Chartier</a>. This place is affordable and the food was delicious. The escargot, OH MAN. Yes, with garlic and butter. NOM. I ordered the <i>pot au feu menagere</i> which was a beef brisket stew. There was so much tender brisket in a flavorful broth. Wows.<br />
For dessert, I had to try the <i>Moelleux au chocolat</i> which is like a chocolate lava cake served with some vanilla sauce. YUM.<br />

Our tour concluded with a visit to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palais_Garnier" target="_blank">Opéra Garnier</a> and the interior was exquisite. It was flush with ornate decoration and excessive extravagance. We couldn't go into the opera hall though as there was a production making preparations.<br />

Ahhh. Of course, going by the opera, had to go to Uniqlo. It definitely made a dent in my wallet buying new clothes. =D<br />
<br />
Dinner tonight was at another pho place with recommendations from someone who is familiar with Paris. We went over to the south side of the city near Maison Blanche to a different area also with a concentration of Vietnamese restaurants. We went to Pho Tai (but as they were full), we were forwarded to their secondary restaurant, Pho Tai Tai. As soon as we were in the door, the hostess was enamored with Dan and grabbed his arm as she led us over across the street.<br />
<br />
The manager and the staff was fluent in Vietnamese, Cantonese, Mandarin, and French and we were using a mix of languages to converse with them while Rachael, Dan, and Justin were totally clueless as to what was going on with the barrage of mixed languages that they couldn't understand at all.<br />
<br />
We had a great time and we were all entertained with the conversation as much as the staff was (I hope).<br />

I was again disappointed ordering the iced coffee being nothing close to the <i>cafe sua da</i> that I was expecting. This place's iced coffee was closer to an HK style iced coffee. The <i>cha gio</i> spring rolls are AMAZING here. Best I have ever tasted. Though the pho is not as awesome as I thought it would be, but still pretty decent.<br />

The hostess who initially welcomed us in came to visit us (up on the second floor) and give us some candy. When she got to Dan, she gave him so much more (like 6 or so) while everyone else only got one. You can see Dan in the picture below blushing as we were making fun of him.<br />

After dinner, I went out for some night photography out in the rain with Joanne, Kenneth and Justin. We visited the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Louvre" target="_blank">Louvre</a> and Royal Palace and walked through / around the gardens to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_de_la_Concorde" target="_blank">Place de la Concorde</a>. The choice to walk over to Concorde wasn't quite the smartest choice as it seemed a lot closer on the map while in reality it was a really long walk. As exclaimed by Kenneth, "This walk better be worth it".<br />

Today was a long travel day taking the train from Schiphol down to Paris Nord. We took the Thalys HSL that took a little over 3 hours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was pouring rain and it was really annoying when trying to walk around the city. </div>

For lunch, a few of us went to Cafe Du Centre as per Russ' recommendation for omelettes on the famous <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rue_Montorgueil" target="_blank">Rue Montorgueil</a>. I got the omelette complète which had potatoes, onions, cheese, mushrooms, and lardon served with a salad on the side. It was a huge portion, and it was delicious though I felt it was a little more watery than I expected.<br />

After that, our tour was cut short because of the continuing rain and we mostly just went home to go rest up.<br />

Dinner was at a pho place as a lot of us were craving Asian food. We went to Dong Huong where it was interesting because Steven was able to talk to the manager in Vietnamese.<br />

Afterwards, I went for some night photography at the Eiffel Tower with Kenneth, Joanne and Elan. It is a beautiful sight at night much more so in the day when it is lit up.<br />
Funny story, some French kid in his teens came up to me and said "Hi. My name is George Clooney. What's your name?" I couldn't keep a straight face to respond so I just walked away chuckling.<br />

Daan Roosegaarde's studio is in Waddingxveen which is a very small town in the rhetorical in the middle of nowhere.<br />
<br />
His studio was really cool as it was a production warehouse as opposed to an office studio. The interview went pretty well and he gave us really conceptual answers that provoke us to think about the ideas we apply to our design work.<br />

My cultural film team with Justin, Elan, Kenneth, Rachael, and I went to Leiden to visit the family that Elan stayed with a bit. Rita and her husband Bart welcomed us into their beautiful home. We interviewed Rita to dig a bit deeper into Dutch culture and about her values. Afterwards, we helped with preparing and cooking dinner which was a very humbling experience. I feel a more heightened sense of connectedness when I am able to eat a meal in someone's home because it is such an intense personal space, but when we are also preparing and cooking the food together, it goes beyond that to an even higher level of cultural and emotional exchange. Cooking is such an intimate occasion of sharing in food, life, and values.<br />

Bart and Rita are teachers at a high school (Bart is also the principal) and the school just finished renovations, they took us on an up-close tour of the new school interior. It was another humbling experience as they were sharing their life and work to us. I am very thankful for the experience for meeting such wonderful people.<br />

Bright and early, leaving at 820 for the bus to Schiphol where we took the intercity train eastwards to Arnhem. It's a really quiet town which is a nice contrast to the other cities we have visited within the Netherlands.<br />

The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnhem_railway_station" target="_blank">Arnhem Centraal</a> station looks beautiful! It is designed by <a href="http://www.unstudio.com/projects/arnhem-central-masterplan" target="_blank">UNStudio</a> and it feels nice to experience great architecture when travelling.<br />

Our first interview of the day was <a href="http://www.inekehans.com/" target="_blank">Ineke Hans</a>. She was very friendly and her studio felt like a playground and workshop combined into one. The chairs around the office are prototypes and I felt like a kid at a candy store sitting in trying out the different chairs. Her wall of books was a massive collection of design knowledge and every studio interview we go into I am in awe of each of their collections.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's too bad this is probably our last product design studio interview because it was great to see actual prototype products lying around.</div>

Second interview was a short walk from the Kerkplein square in front of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Eusebius'_Church,_Arnhem" target="_blank">Eusebiuskerk</a>. Up next was Joris Maltha and Daniel Gross of <a href="http://catalogtree.net/" target="_blank">Catalogtree</a>. These guys were so awesome, they were having so much fun joking on camera and it helped to ease the team's stress from having a long double interview day.<br />

We explored downtown Arnhem a little bit looking for the fashion and design store <a href="http://www.arnhemcomingsoon.nl/" target="_blank">Coming Soon</a>. There was only enough time for a few minutes as they were closing so we all had a quick walkthrough to see what products they had.</div>

<b>Food Notes</b><br />
-hmm, fresh stroopwaffels were nice<br />
-ice cream = yum. Not sure what that flavor was, but it was delish. (The flavor I got had the logo from where we got the fresh stroopwaffels. I think it was some type of baked cookies inside the ice cream).<br />
<br />
<b>Highlights</b><br />
-that rollercoaster. Chaos. So much fun, but so dizzy.</div>

We have nothing to hide."This day did not start out too well especially with our scheduling. Our meeting with Daan Roosegaarde had to be rescheduled so planning got shifted and so instead we had a free day and tried to go out to film context footage.<br />
<br />
It was not a great day for filming. As we (Yvonne, Justin, Kenneth and I) were heading down to Centraal on the Metro, the sunny day turned wet and it was cloudy and had scattered showers while we were exploring the Jordaan. We walked through the Haarlemmerstraat/weg area in the Jordaan to the Westerpark / Westergasfabriek area. To get away from the rain, we had a short snack at Bagels & Beans. I got a cappuccino and the Tuna Melt on an everything bagel. MMMM So good.<br />

When roaming around, we found a few interesting places like playgrounds with a treehouse. We were definitely looking sketching hiding out in there with our cameras.<br />

We were about to call it a day when we decided to make a detour and go by the <a href="http://www.deculinairewerkplaats.nl/" target="_blank">De Culinaire Werkplaats</a>. We were taking some photos and peeked in and snooped around outside because they were closed but we could see in. The couple who own the "studio", Erik and Marjolein saw us through the window and they opened the door and welcomed us in. They invited us to take film and photography the kitchen studio slash restaurant. "We are chefs. We have nothing to hide."<br />
I was stunned by what studying Dutch culture would be defined as a very Dutch answer. We were also really amazed when they started talking about their process and philosophy and how they didn't classify themselves as designers though they spoke like they were. Their discussion with us was mind-blowing about how their work is defined by poetic approaches of understanding our food at a deeper level. I had so many questions I wanted to ask, but didn't quite get a chance to.<br />
<br />
We are hoping to get another chance to go back and interview them as they were open to the idea. They are such a cool couple / designers, or as they label themselves, 'initiators'.Jeffrey Quahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08239659289441098287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36006477.post-86777225733184187232013-05-13T02:42:00.000-07:002013-05-15T15:12:35.570-07:00Dutch Design - Day 17 - Den Haag "So what do you do?"Today was an awesome day. Robbie and I had our first interview today and we had both for the day. We left the apartment in the morning for Schiphol and taking the intercity train over to <i>Den Haag</i> (The Hague).<br />
Our first interview was at 11am with Thomas Castro at <a href="http://lust.nl/" target="_blank">LUST</a>. I was nervous going in as I was the lead. We took some time to warm up but Thomas was really awesome. He gave us great insight into his perspective on design. Since a few of the LUST designers are teachers, we were able to gain a different frame of reference in design compared to the other designers we have interviewed.<br />

The LUST office was in a really nice house. They are in the historic house of Paulus Potter in Den Haag. The LUST office was on the first floor and the second floor was for LUSTlab. The secret garden or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofje" target="_blank"><i>hofje</i></a> courtyard had a nice table where we sat for one of our interview sets. There's also a cool wishing well in the back.<br />

Our second interview of the day was at <a href="https://www.typotheque.com/" target="_blank">Typotheque</a> with Peter Bil'ak. His interview was mind-blowing as he showed us some of his sketching process when designing letter forms for a typeface. He also gave us a crash course in digital typography with his fonts describing how analog typeface edges are drawn on both sides at once and digital typefaces are drawn twice as edges are separate curves.<br />

Afterwards, a few of us went back to the bar beside LUST to relax and have a beer. We were about to go home when Thomas walked in with Jurgen Bey. Robbie didn't know who he was and asked him "So what do you do?" while Steven and I were shaking our heads at it, but it was nice to have a drink with him.<br />
<br />
We were again about to head home, but Thomas convinced us to go for dinner with him. I was happy with dinner as we got to go to <a href="http://www.istana.nl/" target="_blank">Istana</a>, an Indonesian restaurant, as I've been wanting to try Indonesian food here in the Netherlands, as well as wanting to try the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rijsttafel" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">rijsttafel</a> or rice table where it's much like a feast of many small dishes. (I had been trying to recruit others to go without much success so this was an awesome chance to do it and get it crossed off my list).<br />

<br />
We went to Timorplein and had a bite to eat at Studio/K before starting on our filming. The club slash cinema slash cafe was a really <i>gezellig</i> place to be. It was a mash-up of students, arts, theatre, and local culture. Exploring the neighbourhood we approached people to ask them about the area and if they had any questions they wanted to ask their neighbours. Our team's original concept was to create a chain of questions where the previous interview's question would be asked to the next interviewee. This didn't work quite so well.<br />

We did discover some local highlights of the area and we were recommended to check out a local cafe called <i><a href="http://www.ponteneur.nl/" target="_blank">De Ponteneur</a>. </i>It was a bar/cafe with a very relaxed atmosphere. It was a cold day so we decided to stop in and warm up for a bit. I tried the Spiced Moroccan chicken soup <i>Harirasoep met kip. </i>It was delicious, but I really liked someone else's order of the asparagus soup <i>Aspergesoep</i> even more. Ahhhh.<br />

We tried to do a few more interviews without much luck and also running into some sketchy neighbourhoods with some intimidating locals. We backtracked westwards and went into Oosterpark where we met a really friendly couple who were also making a film themselves. They saw our gear and made a comment about "Hey, they're filming too" as we were walking by and a conversation started up and we interviewed them. It was a refreshing interview for sure and the wife was able to give us a really great answer/question... "What's your story?... How did you end up here in the Netherlands?"<br />
They were so friendly, especially with our question about neighbours and where to go to eat. They invited us to meet up with them afterwards for dinner at one of their friend's who runs a Turkish restaurant on Balistraat and Sumatrastraat in the Indische neighbourhood.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, we split up and I went for dinner at <a href="http://www.fifteen.nl/en/home.html" target="_blank">Fifteen Amsterdam</a> which is a restaurant inspired by Jamie Oliver's original Fifteen concept. (I don't think this was Jamie Oliver's team at all and rather some type of spinoff). The food was decent. Russell, Vivian H., Rachael and I had a great time just having dinner with a smaller dining group. :D<br />

The free range chicken was so-so, but the tiramisu was really awesome. I initially wanted the 'Fifteen's classic' panna cotta but they didn't have it, but I am happy with the tiramisu!<br />

<b>Food Notes</b><br />
-must eat more asparagus soup while in the Netherlands. WHITE ASPARAGUS IS AWESOME.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Highlights</b><br />
-gotta get out and meet more random people. The couple we met in Oosterpark was genuinely nice people. It's sometimes hard to meet such open people but when it happens it's magic.</div>

I met up with Thomas, Henry, and David and we walked around checking out the wares. There was a lot of interesting products for sale including clothing, vintage trinkets, and of course, FOOD! I picked up some bundles of fresh mint to make some homemade fresh mint tea when I get back home.<br />

The initial plan was to go to the <a href="http://www.oba.nl/" target="_blank">Amsterdam Public Library</a> Cafe to eat lunch, this didn't happen as we smelled the most amazing smells when walking through the Lindengracht Market and we encountered this meat stall where they were selling roasted ham. I got the <i>Broodje Beenham</i> and it is AMAZING. The sandwich comes with freshly roasted ham with some sauerkraut and I topped it off with some mustard on top. The two old guys manning the stall are entertaining as well singing a song about trying to figure out what the items on the menu was as he heard me wondering about what the writing on the menu meant. They also just randomly broke into song and seemed chipper about their work.<br />

Of course, afterwards there was the fresh stroopwaffel stall. I tried out the "espresso" special flavour. It was GOOD! YUMMMMM!<br />

The weather was weird today flipping back and forth between rain and sun. As we were exiting the market, David and I got surprised as one of the awnings from the tents decided to flip over all the water that was collecting up above. We got soaked somewhat but we just had a good laugh.<br />

This store, <a href="http://www.daskas.nl/" target="_blank">Daskas</a>, on Haarlemmerstraat is awesome. I walked in and was just really excited to see the design stuff especially the clocks. I've been looking for a clock to buy for my room and I was jazzed to see Braun and Karlsson clocks on the wall. I saw one I wanted to get.... and I hear that the staff was telling a customer at the desk about how they are taking the last one because they need to take it off the wall. They took the Braun clock that I was considering (I think it was <a href="http://www.braun-clocks.com/clock/wall_clock" target="_blank">this one</a> in white), and now I'm sad because I have to continue my search to find the clock I want.<br />

We met up with Vivian and we went into the <a href="http://www.debijenkorf.nl/" target="_blank">Bijenkorf</a> to look for an umbrella that Henry wanted, the <a href="http://www.senzumbrellas.com/" target="_blank">Senz</a>. I was super amazed to see how busy this department store was and how high quality the products they offered were. They had really great designer manufacturers for various products and I got pumped when we were in the kitchenware section and I saw some nice Alessi products as well as some Dutch designer wares.<br />
<br />
We headed over to Droog before it closed and I bought the <a href="http://www.droog.com/store/accessories/leaves/" target="_blank">Leaves</a> by Richard Hutten as a gift for my mom. It's mother's day tomorrow but I won't be able to get these to her until I get back next month. I'm hoping she will like this gift as she is a hard person to buy for.<br />

For dinner, we couldn't decide where to go so Vivian suggested our standard cafe, the <a href="http://www.destadskantine.nl/" target="_blank">De Stadskantine</a> in De Pijp. I got the meat option and got something chicken with <i>dragonsaus</i> or tarragon sauce. It was alright.<br />

I met up with Henry today at the Steven Holl building just to reminisce our architectural study project on that building. We then went on a day-long walking tour around the Jordaan area.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After walking for a bit, we went for lunch with Henry's friend Aduan that he met at TEI, at a cool cafe called <a href="http://www.flinderscafe.nl/" target="_blank">Flinders Cafe</a>. It was awesome because the place had designery stuff for sale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We continued our walking tour around the <a href="http://www.de9straatjes.nl/" target="_blank">De 9 Straatjes</a> or <a href="http://www.theninestreets.com/" target="_blank">the nine streets</a> area where a lot of the shopping district is. There were some cool shops that we found. Raw Materials is a vintage furniture and knick knacks store. Fifties Sixties had some cool retro lamps. Went into Hester van Eeghen which was a nice leather bag/wallet store that I have been to before. </div>

Henry got a espresso at this cafe, <a href="http://www.kaldi.nl/" target="_blank">Kaldi</a>. The muffin they sell is AMAZING. I don't know what it is, but it tastes delicious. The couple running the store was so awesome too, they were really polite and accommodating! The girl kept making fun of the guy about keeping his smile. :D<br />

More stuff in the Nine streets area. The Lomography shop was cool though not really something I would invest in right now.<br />
<br />
The Mendo store. O.M.G. This was my fave shop of the day. They are a very cool bookstore that only sells specific books. Art, Fashion, Architecture, Food, Travel, Design. The odd thing with this place is that they only carry hardbound and huge format books. I was there giddy just looking at some books on architecture, travel, and especially the book on <a href="http://noma.dk/" target="_blank">Noma</a>.<br />

We met up with Henry's travel buddy from SIAT, David, and my high school friend Thomas. First choice for dinner was to try <a href="http://www.japanesepancakeworld.com/" target="_blank">Japanese Pancake World</a>, but when we got there and asked for spots, they were fully booked. :( We opted for looking something nearby and we went to La Perla. Another long wait, but it's a friday so it is to be expected. The pizzas were alright. I wouldn't go back specifically for it, but it was still decent.<br />
<br />
AFTERWARDS. Oh yes. The ice cream. A short walk away on the same street from La Perla on Tweede Anjeliersdwarsstraat was <a href="http://montepelmo.nl/" target="_blank">Monte Pelmo</a>. THE ICE CREAM WAS DELICIOUS!<br />

Afterwards, I went with David and Henry to go find the Daan Roosegaarde installation piece I found online, the <a href="http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/04/08/high-tech-bamboo/" target="_blank">Boo</a> zen light garden. We had an adventure trying to find the place, the Hotelschool the Hague in Amsterdam, near Mercatorplein on Jan Evertseenstraat. (Confusing name yes)<br />
I had read on a website that the installation to the public and so I was worried because the hotelschool was not. I had to knock on the door and ask for permission from the hotel director/manager. He was really confused as no one had ever asked to come in to see it, but he was gracious enough to let us in to take photos and videos saying "This is not a prison, so visitors are okay".<br />
<br />
When we were playing with the installation, one of the locals (not a student) named Vincent came up and started talking to us just finding more about who we are. He was a funny guy who was probably a little drunk, but made for an awesome conversation.<br />
<br />
All in all. An awesome adventure day!<br />

A few people went shopping, some went back to Amsterdam right away.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I stayed with a small group of 4 with Rachael, Kenneth, and Christine to check out more of Rotterdam. We went to the <a href="http://www.boijmans.nl/en/" target="_blank">Boijmans van Beuningen</a> and we found so many design things in the exhibits and their design collection. Their "Handmade" exhibit was extraordinary and would be really inspirational for a separate film just for that section of the museum.</div>

We had some issues regarding getting tickets and also just boarding the train only a few seconds before it started to leave the station. This was stressful for us dealing with issues about paying for the tickets and also running to the train platform to make it. The conductor was pretty funny though joking about how the train we boarded was heading to Brussels.<br />

After lunch, Viv x 2 and I went to go find the <a href="http://www.depotrotterdam.nl/" target="_blank">Depot Rotterdam</a> store to see if it was open. We were disappointed because it was closed and so we went off to go for lunch. We settled on Cafe Dudok and I got the <i>appeltart met slagroom</i> or apple pie with whipped cream and fresh mint tea. It tasted pretty awesome. Unfortunately their service was terrible and the other orders we had didn't go through at all.<br />
We were pretty disappointed and somewhat hungry while going towards our second interview of the day.<br />

Kristian took us all around the Luchtsingel and showed us the area around the neighbourhood and the pieces of the first phase of the plan. Afterwards, we all went down to the bar and had some drinks. After that, he invited us out back to the biergarden in the back of their building and we had dinner. I had both the burger and the currywurst and damnnnnn.... SO GOOD!<br />
