Highlights
This is BOUW was founded in 2014 by Eléonore Dürr and Laura Ferriere (b. 1988-87 - France) while graduating Cum Laude from the Design Academy Eindhoven.
In 2009, after separate design studies in Paris, the two designers migrated to the Netherlands, where they developed a new & holistic approach to our society's pressing challenges.
The duo first teamed up to create The White Building: a creative program and space for the reinsertion of multi-recidivist inmates in society, which they proposed to the Dutch penitentiary authorities and led in prison while finishing their studies in the Netherlands. This multi-awarded project became the stepping stone of their career when the ministry of Justice hired This is BOUW for another year of collaboration.
After a book release, several projects for inclusion, and assignments from various european organisations, the duo chose to start its next large project in a vibrant city on the rise: Rotterdam. The Commune opened its doors in March 2017 to become the city's international incubator for starting creative entrepreneurs. There, This is BOUW designed a platform tailored to the needs and daily activities of young design talents, including 8 creative and entrepreneurial trainings, and created an Award for social design graduates.
Started in the Netherlands, This is BOUW now works in Europe and USA.
