My name is Anouk Roggema and I grew up in both the Netherlands and Australia. Because of this I write fluently in both languages. I am a linguistics student at the University of Amsterdam and love to work on language and texts. There is nothing better than transforming and translating an existing text into a catchy and comprehensible text. This brings language alive. Anouk has edited the volume of Smart and Sustainable Built Environments for Springer and translated the inaugural Lecture ‘Recipro City-Giving more than taking’.
