Tetterode Unlocked is our four-part podcast series on Woonwerkpand Tetterode, organised for the occasion of Open Monumentdag
Tetterode is a former factory that produced typefaces before it was squatted in 1981, then subsequently legalised in 1986, at the same time as being purchased by the municipality. Shortly after that, ownership passed to the housing corporation Het Oosten. However, the Tetterodians were able to secure a rather remarkable lease arrangement with Stadgenoot in which they have complete control over the inner structure and workings of the building, while Stadgenoot maintains control over the shell.
Over the four episodes, tetatet host Charlie Clemoes explores some of the reasons for and unique consequences of this arrangement, through interview with a few experienced members of the Tetterode community, namely architect Mikel van Gelderen, artist and member of the bouwcomissie Chris Baaten and activist Rens den Hollander. The series also draws heavily on Charlie’s engagement with the book Zeggenschap Zonder Bezit (control without ownership), a kind of chronicle of the building and its inhabitants, published in 2019 and composed of essays written by various residents and other people associated with the building (e.g. politicians, academics, the head of Stadgenoot, but also people who grew up in the building, and some of the people who were there when it first got squatted.
In this fourth and final episode, we consider Tetterode as a case study through which to explore the question of how we best deal with Amsterdam's housing shortage and its problems with gentrification, which unfolds into a contemplation of Tetterode’s more ineffable and unquantifiable qualities. It features an interview with Rens Den Hollander and excerpts from Marien de Langen’s essay in Zeggenschap zonder Bezit.

We happily introduce this friendly and easygoing Summer tetatet talk with Andrea Garcés and Luca Carboni about their newly formed Sardinian located studio and independent publishing practice, Oreri.
During a moment of Summer break and auto reply, part of the fanfare team went on excursion to investigate the (rather suiting summer break) topic and future fanfare inc. edition of Pause and Leisure.
Occupied with beach research, pecorino cheese, and archaeological visits, a good chunk of time was spend in company with the two Oreri founders. Andrea and Luca together connect backgrounds related to design, translation, and independent publishing, which though the conversation come to reflect, nuances, drives, and urgencies considered when starting a studio practice. Along with these topics the conversations goes around:
poetry and language
local global movement
roaming education systems
tools and design services
new markets
and the importance of belonging.
Credits:
The setting of the conversation took place an hour drive outside Cagliari in friendly surroundings on the rooftop and temporary holiday home of Lua and Nick.
Remarks to the recording were added by fanfare Charlie and Miquel
Documentation made by Paolo
and finally kind friendliness and insights provided from Andrea and Luca
The tetatet episode was carried out by Freja Kir
