‘POSAD’: PROFESSIONAL WORK SAMPLES VARIOUS PROJECTS During my internship at ‘Posad’ I took part from the early stages of analysis and initial ideas in a number of projects, discussing with other members on findings and then conducting a combined research. Part of my task has been individual research on specific aspects, visualisation in terms of maps as well as collages and in a few cases development of scenarios and design. Examples of projects I took part in are: “Ijsselmeer energy transition strategy”, “Space for energy Netherlands”, “Groningen car-free city” and “omgevingsvisie Rotterdam”. During these projects I gained a better understanding of the complexity of projects of such magnitude as well as the actors involved. In addition the projects I took part in have been ranging from architectural to urban and finally to regional, offering me as such the ability to design through various scales.

TOWARDS URBAN ENERGY TRANSITION: HOW CLIMATE-RESPONSIVE & ENERGY-ACTIVE URBAN DESIGN CAN FACILITATE THE TRANSITION The subject of this graduation project is the energy transition within urban environments. Climate-responsive and energy-active urban design is introduced as part of sustainable urban design, and the steps taken in the project contribute in its implementation within existing residential areas, and more specifically dutch post-war neighbourhoods. Because apart from facilitating the urban energy transition there is a need to sustain the rapidly growing urbanization rates in a different way than the one followed in the post-war era. The illusion of free space is no longer in place and densification needs to take place first and foremost in post-war neighbourhoods. Their open space and inherent unsustainability makes them an ideal case for climate-responsive and energy-active urban design to be applied. Therefore the knowledge gathered in this project in order to review the practice of urban design is combined with the morphological qualities of post-war neighbourhoods to provide with design solutions that act on three levels: lowering energy use, generating energy locally and offering the potential for densification. In the end the steps taken are combined in a design method that can contribute in developing climate-responsive and energy-active urban design. Urbanism graduation project

FOSSIL DOMINANCE & MODERNISM Post-war residential areas around the world have been built in the peak of the fossil era and represent the freedom that it offered in design and management of space. Apart from their importance in observing the urban obduracy against a possible energy transition, they pose great potential to address our current needs in densifying. Especially since they constitute the biggest residential stock of the modern city.

Pendrecht, Rotterdam

The historical background and the modernism principles that were followed in post-war neighbourhoods around the world, are the elements that lead these different areas to exhibit so many commonalities despite diferences in climate.

The intention in this project is, on one hand, through relevant examples of sustainable urban morphology and different scientific principles related to climate and physics (behaviour of physical forms), to provide with some optimum characteristics of urban morphology for a specific climate, that will limit the building energy use. And on the other hand to collect different technologies of renewables that are appropriate for urban environments and that take advantage of local climatic conditions in the optimum way for local energy production. Those two tasks respond accordingly to climate-responsive and to energy-active urban design. The collection of this information is organised by type (energy ues and energy production) and by scale – the latter in order to better connect with the urban environment and assist in design decisions – into a Matrix that is meant for designers to utilize. This matrix will be used in order to formulate the aforementioned design toolkit – aka the design patterns.

FACADES EXPOSED TO PREVAILING WINTER WIND Problem statement Sides of building exposed to wind during winter have as a result significant loss of building energy especially in the case of the poorly insulated post-war buildings. No or insufficient (deciduous) protection from vegetation is also a common phenomenon. Therefore high density barriers should be placed in the presence of main flow (full speed). Low density barrieres are more .appropriate in cases of wake interference or lee eddys

DESIGN PATTERNS & THEIR ROLE The design patterns stem from the combination of the optimum urban morphology parameters – Matrix – and the morphological qualities of dutch post-war neighbourhoods. By combining those two, design patterns can provide with design ideas on climate-responsive and energy-active urban design. They consist of the main patterns that identify repeating qualities of dutch post-war neighbourhoods and by comparison with the optimums of the Matrix they trace potentials or threats. Then design ideas – aka sub-patterns – incorporate a principle or technology in the existing morphology that contribute towards lowering energy use or locally producing energy accordingly.

LAYER ANALYSIS & IMPLEMENTATION The implementation of design patterns in a specific post-war neighbourhood – in the current project, the case of Schiebroek Zuid, Rotterdam – is a complex process that entails both conflicts and synergies between different patterns. The analysis concerns urban morphological qualities that affect the energy use and the potential for energy production. This happens by 4 layers of analysis maps that later on are overlayed for the final pattern implementation. Each layer is connected with a specific quarter of the Matrix and with specific design patterns.

FROM URBAN BLOCK TO NEIGBOURHOOD SCALE

The neighbourhood scale addresses the urban scale directly since it examines upcaled design patterns or it upscales existing patterns. The analysis needed for the design, focuses apart from wind and solar, on identifying the structure and use of different spaces in the neighbourhood in order to provide with energy productive solutions that can also have an added value for users. Added value in terms of activities but also new urban landscapes with a certain aesthetic value. Purpose of this kind of design solutions is mainly to educate and motivate people towards the energy transition.

THE NEW URBAN LANDSCAPE AND ITS POTENTIAL FOR USERS In the end this project aspires to envision the new urban landscape as it could be shaped by the urban energy transition. In terms of both its aesthetic value as well as how it can be a part of the daily activities of the residents but also how it can foster new ones. For instance, why not have a jam session at a public space so also other people can enjoy, and to do so your electric guitar can be powered by a solar tent. And this information – apart from helping specialists in covering household needs – if shared with residents it can help them understand and cover their own needs but also desires. Therefore this information can lead to calculated and well-designed decisions that could make a neighbourhood independent for each energy needs.

5 “SEAMS”, 4 SPOTS: THE CASE STUDY OF THE PORT CITY OF PIRAEUS The current diploma thesis aims in the reintegration of the urban area of Piraeus-Keratsini and the sea. The port of Piraeus (both the passenger and the commercial port) occupy a significant part of the coastline, leaving only few open spaces, which remain redundant and deserted. The operation zone manifests by uniting those areas with the surrounding urban fabric. The vast housing zone along with the currently redundant industrial buildings and the constant presence of the sea construct the distinctive identity of the area. Wandering through the area lead to the discovery of many spots of interest, which defined the character and the placement of the proposal. The design and planning of the project focuses on the connection of those specific spots and consequently the reintegration of the city and the sea. For that purpose, 5 “seams” (or connection spaces) are created that overcome the highway’s limit and achieve connection with the coastline. Meanwhile those “seams” function as revitalization zones of redundant urban or seaside areas. The parts, the function and the ways of connecting are different in each “seam”. Diploma thesis project

Four operation spots are added, with various land uses, connected to each other in order to activate the zone between city and sea and attract visitors locally as well as supralocally. The uses and activities vary from cultural and recreational to water sports and activities and are mostly settled in existing buildings and formerly industrial buildings now deserted.

Basic element of this proposal is the establishment of an energy production unit through biomass processing along with a web of energy crops.

Existing barriers between city and sea – conceptual sections

3rd “seam”

Different types of barriers separate the city from the sea and therefore different types of bridges, both literal and metaphorical are designed for each seam. The barrier of the highway is overcome by a corten steel bridge that leads to the cultural centre of the port. The property barrier is bridged metaphorically by giving back part of the land to the residents to grow crops. The height difference of the city and another part of the cultural port, gets connected by a ramp that follows the inclination of the artificial, concrete, hill. 5th “seam”

The final seam, connects the city of Keratsini with the coast, passing above the highwayand traversing the last operation spot, which is located between the highway and the sea and contains six deserted oil tanks. Beginning from the highway, the first two tanks constitute exhibition spaces; of the next two, the first constitutes a recreational space (concerts and movies) and the second one is used for collecting water from the biomass and at the same time distributing it to the pool that surrounds the last two tanks. At the end of the pool, the route from Keratsini meets the route from Piraeus and together pass through a progressively more natural environment to the end of the coast; finally, through 5 piers, they reach their final destination: the sea.

The rich industrial history of the area, the needs of its residents and the future perspectives are the elements that together shape the current proposal. And through the designed path the citizen can experience those elements and finally return to the beginning; which is no other than the sea. Diploma thesis project: 5 “seams”, 4 spots | 21.

DESIGNING FROM|FOR THE COMMUNITY OF VREEWIJK Vreewijk is an area with a variety of problems (criminality, low-income, unemployment, etc) but also of great importance due to its historic value. The vision of the municipality would cause gentrification and further on, displacement of the existing residents. Therefore I searched for a way of strengthening the neighborhood and its economy in order to be self-sustained as well as function as an attraction pole. My vision is twofold; the relocation of the one-person households to a new neighborhood located in the surrounding of the old hospital, at the heart of Vreewijk and in their stead attract new families (according also to the municipality vision); and the creation of this neighborhood as a mixed one, with 3 different target groups and various uses which will address the current needs of the community as well as address the pressing issue of gentrification through independent economic growth.

The positioning of the target groups is mostly based on their different lifestyles. However a mixture of different age groups can create a more lively neighbourhood and therefore some mixed housing types are also proposed. The positioning of the four different types of buildings is based on the different volumes - heights. The larger blocks are situated closer to the street in order to create a protection zone for the inner neighbourhood as well as block the wind from penetrating. The other two types are placed according to their heights with basic discipline of having smaller heights closer to the park.

LOCAL AMENITIES AND REVENUE

cafes/restaurant/bars – to be rented

leisure area – for students pub/bar – managed by students

leisure area – for the elderly communal kitchen – managed by elderly, students retail businesses – to be rented

I sought to strengthen the neighbourhood and its economy in order to be self-sustained and independent of any local market changes. The result is a mixed-use area that can gather the existing population in new and affordable housing and create a strong self-supporting community with amenities such as: a communal kitchen; social supermarket; spaces for recreation. A variety of locally-managed amenities are offered but also spaces for retail and spaces to rent in order to bring revenue to the area.

Start ups/temporary use of land for events

In the context of global transition the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area (AMA) still faces the challenge of meeting housing demands within limited space, as well as reducing dependency on imported resources. The evaluation of the AMA agenda reveals two trends of the future urbanization process in the AMA that deal with the challenges seperately: taking use of high connectivity to create compact city and attracting innovative circular industry to reuse resources. This project investigates the potential of a new inter-scalar growth model to steer the two trends simultaneously which: from local to regional scale, reuses vacant land with high connectivity as catalysts, and from regional to local scale, reuses resources by creating upcycling circular industry chain. By the means of local spatial research, policy analysis and stakeholder analysis, this project develops a concrete solution of reprogramming local space, in order to create hubs that can trigger lasting regional effects. The regional impact of this intervention will be a network of five hubs, which trigger a chain reaction that activates the local to realize inward growth and creates a circular industry chain on the regional level.

SELECTING PILOT PROJECTS

The 4 main action plans – on the local scale – are (1)Reuse of Land for efficient future planning and a (2)Smart mobility network that connects the local programs to the regional transport network. And – on the regional scale - (3) Reuse of Resources to ensure regional level waste management and upcycle. And lastly, Creating a Circular industry hub that combines the local programs to the regional waste management network. Connecting to the aforementioned 4 main action plans, the AMA is mapped in 4 layers. These 4 layers identify the areas where each action exhibits the most potential. By overlaying the mentioned layers, this project locates five potential hubs with different strengths. Taking spatial factors into consideration, the Westpoort Hub and the Almere Hub were given priority as two pilot hubs for the new growth model.

The flow types result in different kind of construction materials such as bricks, concrete, steel, prefabricated panels, insulation, paint, etc. The aim is to transform the construction industry into a new model that in the progress of time will decrease the input of raw materials and it will be mostly based in the reuse of different forms of waste.

Local innovative businesses have developed advanced technological techniques which make upcycle of waste possible. However, their current supply in starting material (aka waste) relies on their individual collection which renders the much needed mass production of construction materials improbable. Therefore the need for a functioning network that will manage to connect demand with supply and will reinforce the existing technological innovations, is urgent.

A timeline of actions – phasing – is proposed, starting from introducing functions attractive to the public such as recreational and cultural. A mix of functions within the Circular Construction industry can lead to a successful integration with the urban fabric instead of a fragmentation zone. Finally, the development could continue along the western peninsula by establishing new recreational and cultural facilities, and housing areas. The course of that urban growth could finally result to an efficient connection between the southern and northern part of the Nordzeekanaal.

REGIONAL IMPACT The local interventions both in terms of urban rejuvenation and transformation, and in terms of circular local initiatives, focus on creating hubs that perform as functioning independent systems. Urban areas that provide a variety of functions and include circular construction industries that have access to various surrounding resources (e.g. containers for the port, agricultural waste for Almere) and then combining these two elements in a united urban fabric. Therefore new urban environments can be developed where the urban life and the construction industry can coexist creating attractive living environments.

MATERIAL STORAGE

Two factors facilitate the regional effect of these local transformations, their strategic locations and the synergy that is created between different construction industries due to the complementary circles as well as the crucial role of enabling actors such as logistics, waste collection points and material storage. Finally these two points of intervention â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Port of Amsterdam and Almere â&#x20AC;&#x201C; create a chain of reaction that generates the regional impact on the whole metropolitan region.

HOUSING COMPLEX IN NAXOS ISLAND VERSIONS OF DWELLING The subject of the present design studio was a housing complex along with quality public spaces that would be settled next to the historical centre of Naxos. The aim was to revive the abandoned site by creating a modern housing complex with respect to the local tradition and history, and a large scale gathering point, which lacked from the area due to Naxosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; historic character. The peculiar shape of the site (similar to a wooden horse) along with the extraordinary difference in altitude were the obstacles that, because of the rich history of the surrounding, were transformed into the enchanting elements of the proposal. Three points of interest set the basic principles: the old castle, the hill that pierced the site from the south and the lowest point of the site that gathers the flow, both of the water and the people. Design studio 7th semester

34.

The housing complex is situated in the shadow of the castle and the hill. Those two areas have the biggest difference in altitude so, in order to designate the castle and the existing residences, the housing complex is designed in-cave. After designing (under) the shadow of the castle and the hill as well as their connection, the descent and connection to the lowest point is drawn alongside a small stream of rain water. Their outfall is located at the lowest point, at a sheltered public space and a small pool accordingly. The path passes through the site to the northeast entrance, so the sheltered space functions also as a gate to the housing complex from the street.

Each of the two residential areas has its own type of residences. Type A are those situates underneath the hill at the southeast of the site. Their simple geometry imitates in a modern way the traditional architecture of Naxos and each one is separated to apartments and studios. They are placed in the site as an offset of the hill and their terraces appear as a stair leading to the top.

At the foothills of the castle a new typology of residences is introduced, Type B. Because of the importance of the castle, our intention was to create forms that will not distinguish themselves so much from the hill. So this type is also in-cave but in addition its roof has an incline similar to the hillsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Each unit has one apartment and one studio and glass openings in the roof that provide light inside.

NEW ATHENS MUSEUM PLATO ACADEMY OPENAIR MUSEUM In 387 BC Plato founded the first philosophical school in a suburbian site, west of the ancient city of Athens, that belonged to a man called Academos. And so was created the Plato Academy which functioned for roughly 800 years. Today, due to the great expansion of Athens, it is situated close to the city centre, in the area of Colonos, and although an important archeological site, few things are done for its preservation and designation. The three most significant monuments are: the Gymnasium, the Paaestra, a peristyle building, and the proto-helladic house of Academo. The aim of the proposal was to design a path that will connect those three monuments(in the written order) and around it will be created the exhibition spaces of the New Athens Museum. However, our intension was also to create the passing from the antiquity to the present and deal both as equally important. Design studio 8th semester

Different kinds of exhibitions are designed to best exhibit the various findings as well as information. From displays on the floor showing ancient remainings of temples or houses to interactive screens that can give you selective informarion.

The museum as a path

Instead of creating one museum building, we viewed this project as an opportunity to create a â&#x20AC;&#x153;museum pathâ&#x20AC;?. Scattered pavilions in proximity to the various monuments create a direct connection between the remainings and the related information. As a result the experience becomes more interesting and it integrates better to the park. Creating as such, an experience that relates not only to the visitor of the museum but also to the local residents.

AQUATIC CITY “INVISIBLE CITIES” SUBJECT: Designing an imaginary city based on a scenario created around this city, this project was inspired by Italo Calvino’s book “Invisible Cities”. The purpose was to develop the scenario and the lifestyle of the city alongside with its architectural form, in order to create a fictional yet unique city that expresses the imagination and the vision of each student. SCENARIO Wandering the high seas, fortune may lead you to encounter one of the most bizarre sights... tall walls, white as snow, raising from the depths of the sea forming a fortress and upon its walls you can see the reflections of the water and strange shadows, shaped from somewhere inside. Getting closer, the entrance of the city finally becomes visible; the walls are vertical to each other forming a cube and on their acmes narrow gaps are formed, which allow the visitors to enter. As soon as you get in, the city reveals itself; orthogonal masses extruded from the walls are hanging over your head, approaching at points or taking distance, all of them much higher from the sea, so you feel like they are floating in the air and not in the sea. A grid of hanging bridges connects the masses and the walls. A white platform welcomes you to the city and 4 glass elevators take you to each of the walls. Each mass is a building, either residential, public space or any other use possible; moving from mass to mass, using rope ladders, you finally reach a hanging bridge. Stepping on it, the sea lies under your feet, you stand dizzy on top but the sight of the sea eventually calms you as the wandering continues. People all around are moving constantly, tirelessly. As time goes by, you realize that through the route you feel lighter, more refreshed. The night follows the day and standing on a bridge you can hear slow, peaceful voices and sounds of the night, as you gaze across the dark blue sea, reflecting the starlit sky; in a way that the sense of up and down is no longer clear. Everything feels different, and so do you. Conceptual Design studio
