densify Innsbruck by taking into consideration researched needs of the Innsbruckers and their living preferences and combining them with the idea of introducing a point density into the nature instead of further densifying already tight city tissue. The project reaches towards the modern development of Innsbruck with respect to the close relationship between the city’s inhabitants and the surrounding nature.

building function and daily life exposure to the outside world, is addressed by introduction of a smart glass technology. Smart glass, or ‘switchable glass’, is characterized by its ability to change light transmission properties. By application of electric current the glass can change transparency range from clear to opaque. It gives the opportunity to the building inhabitants, to individually control the transparency of their windows to their preferences. Eliminating the need of window covers or blinds, it serves the minimalistic architectural approach of the whole building design.

Architectural Technology and Construction Management Refurbishment and Conversion Project team work | Valentina Arama, Daniel Martinez, Anna Musial, Julita Zuk
The main theme concerns the renewal and refurbishment of the architectural qualities of the existing building, taking into consideration sustainability understood in a broader context than just environmental, like: social or economic. By incorporating the circular design concept, minimizing waste and making the most of reusable resources plays an important role. The task is to integrate sustainable initiatives with modern architectural and energy optimization features in an existing building development. The Hylke School complex represents a fine example of a public building of its period (build in 1909). However, today its functionality and surroundings are outdated, monotonous and run down. The focus was put on interaction between the building and its surroundings and transformation from a traditional school approach to school with multi-functional activities for students and the city’s habitants. Flexibility between the various functions of the building was an important highlight of the design. The proposal opts for multifunctional uses given to rooms, both available to citizens and school members. This will create a mixed aged atmosphere bringing the municipality’s peoples closer together. The design featuring the glass structure turns the building into a modern accent in the small rural village. 12 |

Waternatuur tuin Tuinpare
Urban node as connection between the different areas and functions, strengthening the “park” landscape of the location.
The area with outdated, out of use train trucks can become a new development in the city of Amsterdam. To meet the need of living and working spaces in close proximity to the city centre, the design proposes a Manhattan like approach with high density, high quality living, topped up by the train station design, bridging the previously cut off green areas. The new train station design becomes a massive architectural landmark, however is stays delicate and respectful to the surroundings by use of neutral colours, translucent and reflecting materials. The design focuses on enabling interaction between district inhabitants and the building function, by creating walk able platforms, leading the user to a viewing point overlooking the Westerpark before either taking a train or crossing over the train trucks to a neighbouring parts of the city.

Extension of two characteristic axis cuts the plot, setting the design principal. Connection between different districts brings neighbourhoods into one meeting point in the train station. New city tissue serves as a transitional area between the urbanity of the residential zone and the rural character of the green park area on the opposite side of the train tracks.

The area is confronted with high levels of new inhabitants, an old housing stock, an extremely diverse population and a revival of the real estate market. The Canal Zone is a regional area by vocation, the geographical anchor point of the region within the country. The industrial heritage of the canal predisposes it to multiple functions and uses. The objectives of the revival of the Canal Zone include giving economic activity a

New housing project within the Canal Zone takes the location, aesthetics and ecology into account, leading to an integrated urban and architectural design with attention to the social context.

Opening the plot towards the canal, integrates it with the neighbourhood and brings interaction to water that has been cut off in the district. Introduction of the green public spaces, creates a buffer between residential and busy street life.

Architectural studio - TU/e campus Eindhoven, the Netherlands
Technishe Universiteit Eindhoven, the Netherlands Arts &Architecture Project, supervisors: ir. Renato Kindt, ir. Ralph Brodruck
The object of the design was to create a small building for a special Architectural Studio, located in a chosen place at the grounds of TU/e campus. The design focuses on space suitable for focus, content, events and architectural workshops. By means of a play between cast-concrete materials and light the building reflects intimacy, which cannot be directly known from the outside and at the same time encloses private working atmospheric space within it. The architecture aims to give a sense of unity with the outside with means of glazed surfaces, while the opposite building side by means of the solid strong form gives the outside world just a small sneak peak to the inside. That location has been chosen in association with the presence of trees in close proximity and the possibility of the interaction between outside nature and the interior of the building. Relationship with the life going on outside and inside the building appears as one, is divided by a thin glass layer. Space accessible for everyone and penetrated by eyesight of passers-by on the ground level, is enclosed in a semi transparent cube with a access through cracked wall as if one would be entering a dark unknown cave space, full of mystery. 26 |

logo design Riri med Logo & business card design 2019
Logo development for a self employed General Practitioner (Huisarts). Client wished to create a visual connection to her company name in order to be visually present while outsourcing her services in several GP practices. The logo design was created by determining the visual associations with the word ‘medicine’. The client asked for a stethoscope representation to be incorporated into her logo design. The final design was established by combination of a heartbeat line and a stethoscope, simultaneously incorporating the company name into the line. The objective was to create a clean and simple logo, representing the company name and bringing up to the mind the connection to medicine. The chosen colours are toned down shades of blue, commonly associated with the medical field, at the same creating a soft and delicate feeling.
