Building on ambition Architectuur Lokaal in 2010 | # 80 Building on ambition 1 Architectuur Lokaal is the national centre of expertise and information devoted to commissioning building development in the Netherlands. From a position of independence we act as bridge-builder between parties involved in the building process. For patrons such as municipalities, housing associations and property developers we organise excursions, discussions and other programmes tailored to their needs. Recurring themes are the cultural significance of commissioning building work and the importance of collaboration between client and designer. Architectuur Lokaal runs the national Steunpunt Architectuur opdrachten & Ontwerpwedstrijden (The Procurement & Design Competition Office). This offers advice in public procurement procedures and in competitions to select designers and property developers. From way back we have a special relation with the local and regional architecture centres throughout the Netherlands. Architectuur Lokaal is part of the infrastructure of institutions that implement the cultural and architectural policy of the government. To do this, it receives an annual subsidy of 480,000 euro. In addition, Architectuur Lokaal carries out commissions on behalf of third parties. Annual turnover totals an average of 1 million euros. Figures In 2010 some 120,317 people made use of our services. The website www.arch-lokaal.nl was visited 17,249 times: an average of 48 times a day.
