AtelierVA is grounded in the network society, where value is created by connectivity. This subdues the traditional society, where divisions are made in hierarchical structures, and concepts such as the hereditary rule (familiar ties) or professionalism (knowledge ties). Instead, in a network society,  structures are shaped by continuous flows of information. Accessibility to these flows becomes the dominant value.

AtelierVA believes the new spatial makers are the answer to make, and to keep, our cities and regions livable. Our passion is to redefine the ‘old boys networks’ and to let everybody feel, they can take responsibility to their surroundings, and mould it the way they like to see it. We see this taking place in the many community-led organisations that sprung up during the last years.

Sustainable Wetering Community

The Sustainable Wetering community (SWC) is a group of inhabitants of the Wetering district in Amsterdam that received a large fund to make their heritage listed private houses more energy sufficient. But the group initially congregated because they wanted the neighborhood to be more sustainable, in the widest definition of the word. And now extent there goals to become one of the first self-directed neighborhoods in the Netherlands.
