Description: In the Dutch city of Deventer, a routine real estate deal became a site of innovation in urban design when a cross-disciplinary team of architects, business experts, financiers, artists, and planners chose to ignore developers' warnings that serious architecture was impossible during the financial crisis. Taking charge of the planning process, the team and their client, the Deventer Hospital, designed viable, ambitious architectural solutions for problems the developers and bankers had written off as intractable.
