  Dre Wapenaar is a Rotterdam-based artist whose primary medium is tents - environments designed to shape encounters, whether between individuals or for large groups. Dre's portfolio includes a tent for reading newspapers, a birthing tent, "Deathbivouac," the "Pavilion of Loneliness," "Tree Tents" and "4GPP" - a pavilion for the performance of Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt's "Concerto for Four Grand Pianos." A notable pianist himself (and a dexterous exponent of ten Holt and Bach), Dre will be co-teaching the DWELLING workshop with Jennifer Yoos.

Ab Rogers is a furniture and environment maker, and partner in the London-based studio Kitchen Rogers Design. Among numerous other projects, KRD have created a 50m window installation of stacked logs for Harvey Nichols department store in London, and were design consultants on the Paris Comme des Garçons store, recently featured on the cover of FRAME magazine. Ab trained as a cabinetmaker, earned his MA in
industrial design at the Royal College of Art in London, and is also an accomplished yachtsman. At DESIGN CAMP, he will be co-teaching the PLAYING
workshop with Sally Barton.
