In Westerwatering, a small neighbourhood in the west of Zaandam (close to Amsterdam) you can find a lot of so-called “eenpitters”. Independent professionals that work at home without any employees. Westerwatering, however, doesn’t look like a neighbourhood where a lot of people seem to be at work. Infrastructure, public space and the houses itself are not designed for working activity at home. The people that work at home must miss something, concluded an expert. We, the Rietveld Academy students of the architecture department, tried to understand how these home-workers use row-houses, double the interiors, influence public space, use networks and tried to map this spatial behaviour.

My research is mainly based on interviews with "eenpitters" in Zaandam. I reacted on these interviews with excerpts from the novel: "The investigation" by Stanislaw Lem. My research is published in form of a silk-screened magazine which can unfold as a poster.
