The rooftops are the hidden domain of the city, offering unexpected qualities and possibilities. The “City On A Roof” foundation (COAR) invites you to explore this headroom for urban development. Is it worthwhile to disclose this domain? In the context of local (Groningen NL) and global cultural trends and economic developments, one may wonder how this extra space could be used to add special new dimensions to the city as a living and working organism. The primary purpose of the foundation is to spread a virus of inspiration. We hope to inspire you with new ideas and concepts.

The founders of COAR are: Chris Moller (S333 Architecture & Urbanism), Thuur Caris (Pavlov Medialab), Christophe de Jongh (Vlasblom Project Development) and David Inden (Silverroom Foundation).
