About Lindsey van de Wetering
Meet Lindsey van de Wetering. She lives and works in Amsterdam as an architect, curator, photographer and designer, but she is often in Suriname with her family, and she loves travel and nature.
For her graduation thesis, POKU OSO, Lindsey developed a new idea for placing a conservatory in the Cultuurtuin in Paramaribo. The design won her a prestigious European prize for young architects.
Her passions are building, form and nature. In Suriname she wants to help (re)introduce nature-inclusive building and promote green living. Watch her interview in Busi Taki below, and follow her new ideas and projects on her website, lindseyvandewetering.com.
