Hans Meiboom
Designer Hans Meiboom of communication agency Studiomeiboom believes in fostering discussion. To get people in Amsterdam talking to each other again, he hopes to build the two-kilometre Table de Ville in a park. “I want to bring back the meeting function of the park in particular, and of public space in general," he says.
