NEW BOARD Giordana Credendino Nice to meet you, reader of viaVIA! This academic year you will get to know me as chairwoman of VIA Urbanism as well as its co-commissioner of activities! I look forward to the final year of my Bachelor’s working closely (metaphorically) with the faculty and its students! Also, I am very excited to be a part of YOUR journey as a member of VIA, thank you for supporting us and for sharing our passion for Urbanism! During my time as chair I wish to inspire this amazing community to be curious and enthusiastic, to share knowledge and be open to learning. My goal is to help you create a safe, organized and fun environment where you can easily connect with the working field as well as share your views on urban topics. I hope to see and get to know all of you eventually, at a lunch lecture, coffee break, through a screen or simply walking by Vertigo! Until then, enjoy this 61st edition of our magazine!

Esmee Moonen I too, am very excited to be a member of the new board. This year I will be the new secretary and commissioner of media of VIA Urbanism. Having finished my Bachelor’s degree here in Eindhoven, I am currently in the second year of my Master’s degree, the combined register track AUDE for Architects and Urbanists. Besides studying, I want to broaden my view and gain work experience. Since September 2019 I have been working as an intern at MR. STIR architect + planner. When the opportunity of becoming a board member for VIA Urbanism came up, I saw new chances to strengthen my relations with the professional field, professors and students. Furthermore, these positions allow me to develop my skills in planning, communication and teamwork. During the coming year, I hope to make positive contributions to the association. Despite the challenges that COVID-19 brings, let’s make it together a fantastic year with events that inspire us and strengthen our relations!
