  Reinder Bakker is co-founder and principal of Dutch spatial design studio Overtreders W that specializes in temporary no-waste architecture. Overtreders W like to call themselves material choreographers: they see materials as if moving over the earth's surface in an endless performance. They direct those material streams in such a way that they become architecture for a while. When designing temporary architecture as a step in the material choreography, they always take the next step into account. They process material in such a way that the original sizes remain intact and different materials can be separated again. Their work includes the award winning People's Pavilion from 100% borrowed materials and Brasserie 2050 for the Lowlands music festival. Reinder Bakker is also one of the founders of Pretty Plastic, a startup company that produces recyclable cladding material that is entirely made of plastic waste from the building industry.
