A showcase for the possibilities of the city of the future, and a place to give and receive presentations. De Drijfveer is already the most fantastic building of the entire Floriade of 2022.

Now still on the water of a marina, in a while on the other side of the island Utopia: the coolest meeting room ever. De Drijfveer is the most inspiring indoor space in the Netherlands you can imagine, if only because you hardly feel that you are inside. While you look out over the water and pick a leaf from the plants in the glasshouse window for your tea, a sunbeam reminds you of the solar panels on the roof. The city of the future is getting closer – and greener than ever.

De Drijfveer is the space for inspiring encounters, built from plant-based materials. Join us and drop by for a meeting or for a tour. De Drijfveer aims to make people question their relationship with nature. Initiator Koen Kaljee (24) studied Architecture in Delft. There he developed a vision of buildings in which people and nature positively reinforce each other. This becomes reality in De Dijfveer, thereby breaking with all building conventions.

URBAN GREENERS De Drijfveer is the operating base of the Urban Greeners, the young vanguard of the Floriade 2022 in Almere. Over the next seven years, Floriade 2022 will build a self-sufficient urban district with the theme Growing Green Cities. Urban Greeners supports young entrepreneurs in setting up projects that help build this urban district. During these seven years, the Drijfveer is the ideal space for inspiration, meetings and guided tours.
