We were asked to develop the adaptable city of this century, and in order to accomplish it; we had to create the “heritage of the future”.

We are developing a heritage of an open source city called Dikemark, which can be edited and transformed by its own inhabitants. We do not believe in strong and tight rules since their rigidness ultimately limits Dikemark’s natural growth. We rather assume that the citizens own this power ourselves. They are the ones who ought to learn how to live and create our own city. We propose a new self-sufficient city where tradition and technology co-exist. Inhabitants’ participation in all steps is key for Dikemark’s continuous adaptation to changing circumstances. In this iterative process, one needs to learn how to make best use of the city. This developing know-how allows you to eventually incorporate inherited traditions. Thanks to our educational system for wood-based studies, we acquire the tools to continue with the city’s growth.
