The scientific board for the government policy has released a report in 2013, in which the economic development of our country and its future requirements were discussed. Even though our economy has experienced a steady growth over the last fifthy years, this growth should not be taken for granted. The world is rapidly changing and this poses diverse threats to our economic prosperity. Scarcity In 2020 the population will start decreasing, causing scarcity. This means that more will need to happen with less people. As we know from our own expertise, this scarcity will not only impact the labor, but also all commodities and capital, basically every part of the production process. International interrelationships Specialization in the production process and resulting lower production cost connected to the decreased transportation cost have resulted in the scattering of production chains over many different countries. This makes the production process fragile and difficult to coordinate. As a result, the internation dependence grows. Companies become more detached, as they don’t have a specific location or region to affiliate with. This influences the relationship between the company and the region. Will a company just consume and profit from the qualities a certain location offers, or will it actually benefit the region? Innovation Innovation is the result of both good r&d, efficient producting methods, a better organisation of the production chain, original marketing and good customer service. The knowledge which is required for these diverse kinds of innovation can have many different sources and every participant can act as a booster. To profit from these changes, the report indicated that our current knowledge based economy needs to change into a learning economy. This entails that

besides the constant development of knowledge, the circulation and access to knowledge becomes an intergral part. The report give recommondations and assignments for the adaptation of the content and framework of research and education in the Netherlands. Differentation After the seventies the task of executing research falls onto the universities, while before this was mainly done by education facilities and big cooperations. Besides the task of the research, the amount education that needs to be facilitated keeps growing. These institutes are also determinative for the valorization of both the research and the education. According to the board it is not possible to execute all three tasks living up to the same high standards. The research part needs to become more indepent, by founding more new research institutes. Connections Next to differentation it is important that researchand education facilities become regional institutes which are intertwined with their surroundings, such as institutes as AMST. This will allow for the possibility to share knowledge quicker and more efficiently. Central knowledge now often circulates through articlse, patents or graduates. This results in a lack of connection with the every day societial issues and therefore how the society should adapt to adjust to new circumstances. The above shows that moving the control over economic development to a lower level could strengthen our economical position. It makes it easier to get the needed actors together and to inform them of the new developments in research and practice. Because the regions in the Netherlands diferentiate, the developments become very diverse. Responsiveness Maintaining the economic model of moderate growth revolves around earning capacity. A key term here is responsiveness, the ability to adjust quickly and properly to new circumstances. The adjustments listed above play into the three
elements of responsiveness; resilience, having a buffer; adaptation; a system that can easily adjust to new circumstances; a proactive attitude; containing a cycle of learning and improving. However, a good system of studying which changes might occur and what the consequences might be. (In our field this translates into research by design) Additionally, the board deems it necessary to maintain diversity in governments and control mechanisms: ‘a broad governance structure in which old and new social and economical questions are adressed from the core question on how to improve the learning economy’. This requires a new kind of education, in organisation and content. Educational organisation If education and research institutes are closer to society then the learning capacity of the society will grow. For example, the mbo would function as the motor of innovation in the mkb and universities will together with labor organizations create a system of part time education. The local and regional knowlegde will allow for a good coordination. Educational content In the dutch educational climate there is the freedom to experiment with renewal. The sharing of this knowledge is however not a necessity, because the choices do not have to be defended. In 2015, RUIMTEVOLK created in cooperation with the innovation circle De Circulaire Stad a pamphlet. This research report touches upon many topics related to our practice, such as scarcity, production and education. Participants from these two organisations are civil servants, scientists and practitioners who deals with the sustainable city future in a profesional way. The pamphlet lists ten agenda points which are essential for the development of the circular city. This originates from the belief that the city is the solution and not the problem. The goal is to make our country and cities economically and physically indepedent and resilient.
5
The ten agenda points are: 1. Connect city and surrounding lands; The opposition between the city and the countryside in policy and politic have led to unnatural borders and wasted opportunities. It is important to look for sollution over natural and administrative borders. 2. Map the urban metabolism; To realize the circular city it is necessary to provide insight on the metabolism of the city. 3. Realize local and regional energy networks; There are plenty of possibilities in the Netherlands to reduce energy use and to utilize residual heat and waste streams of industrial processes. These opportunities need to be explored and small succesful examples need to be copied or upscaled. 4. Approach buildings as resources and power plants; New building development can already be energy neutral or even generate energy. The existing building stock also offers possibilities. A large part of the dwelling and office could potentially be a power plant. 5. Adjust the fiscal, legislation and regualtions systems; Tax resources, waste, residual heat, CO2 emissions and the use of space to stimulate a more sustainable production and consumption system. 6. Give space to local innovation environments; Start-ups are very wanted in cities, just like breading ground and fablabs. These are places where every revolves around circulation of knowledge and creativity. New technologies are important facilitators of innovation. Cities need to offer space for these.
7. Share data and knowledge; The wished circulation and connection of knowledge flows would benefit the access to information. Open data, realtime information of sensors in the city and through smartphoneapplications crowdsourced data could all contributed to this. Communal efforts to realize a local or regional dataplatform will counteract scattered availability of data. 8. Give space to local production; In the circular city products that we use in the city are more increasingly produced or repaired on location. Local production, recycling, upcycling and repairments need to implemented in the city. 9. Make local or regional coalities of ‘the willing’; A local coalition of parties committed to the idea of the circular city can play a pioneering role in the city and region. 10. From circular thinking to circular acting; Circular thinking and acting requires an adjustment from all parties in the city and from the government. Transition to a more sustainable economy requires parties in the city to be open to cooperation and to learn from each other by sharing data and information. This way new connections are established and there is room for new initiatives. The pamphlet came to be with the cooperation of the Innovatiekring De Circulaire Stad: Aldert de Vries (Ministerie van BZK), Daphne Koenders (RUIMTEVOLK), Douwe Jan Joustra (IMSA), Eva Gladek (Metabolic), Evert Schut (Rijkswaterstaat), Inge Oskam (Hogeschool van Amsterdam), Jan Heijns (Pakhuis de Zwijger), Jan Jongert (Superuse Studios/ Rotterdamse Metabolisten), Jan Schouw (BRES Breda), Jasper van Rooijen (Ministerie van BZK), Jeroen Maas (Ministerie van BZK), Jeroen van Alphen (Rijkswaterstaat), Jeroen van der Kuur (Hogeschool van Amsterdam), Judith Lekkerkerker (RUIMTEVOLK), Maarten Claassen (Waternet), Mari van Dreumel (Ministerie van IenM), Meine van der Graaf (MVO Nederland), Michel Schuurman (MVO Nederland), Onno van Sandick (Ministerie van IenM), Pieter Buisman (Geldstromen door de wijk), Rutger Buch (Cirkelstad), Sanderine van Odijk (Metabolic), Sjors de Vries (RUIMTEVOLK), Stephan van Dijk (AMS/TU Delft), Tjeerd Haccou (Space & Matter/De Ceuvel).
Harvest_BK combines the landscape domain with the building domain and experiments with ‘flow’ based design ideas. The agenda items that we can make a direct contribution to or use directly are listed in bold.

Case study Parkstad
Learning from the above and designing precedents is an important starting point for the studio. Part of this is working on one area. One area where there is already a lot of knowledge and where there are already many local contacts. This creates the possibility to connect the studio to a place and region, better known as PARKSTAD. What is interesting about this region is that Parkstad is a shrinking area. All future necessary changes can therefore be used to develop new economic perspectives. There is literally room for change. Switching to renewable energy sources (included biobased materials) is much more space intensive than that of fossil resources. Therefor spatial considerations must be made.
There are three leading principles: 1. Circular The current urban economic model where consumption leads to waste has to be transformed into one cyclical model in which waste is a raw material and where material and energy are utilized within smart networks. 2. Synergy Production landscapes go hand in hand with recreational landscapes and lead to interesting new areas or objects/artefacts of use. 3. Local Local characteristics will be used for this transformation and will lead to the strengthening of the existing identity.

Collateral Landscape
ŵŵŵ
From “Park” the landscape re-discovered (text by IBA) The location of Parkstad is a potential in itself. The strength of Parkstad lies in the unique combination of urbanity and rurality. “” No urban landscape in the Netherlands has so many streams, so many height differences, so many landscapes, so many parks woven into and around the city. “ The Parkstad region is part of an exceptionally rich coal area that ran from the Kempen in Belgium through Limburg to Aachen in Germany. The heyday of the private mines from the mid-19th century to the state mines until the mid-20th century did show an explosive growth of the existing settlements and towns near the mining sites.
10
We refer to the spatial distribution of the extraction sites and the fragmented landscape that this economic boom left behind as the collateral landscape. Collaterally in multiple meanings of the word: arisen sideways, as an unintended side effect, but also in its second sense, more forward-looking, as collateral. The resulting landscape is the collateral for future development towards new prosperity. Parkstad can be roughly divided into two main categories: the natural hilly landscape and the man-manipulated landscape, the extraction landscape.
Second transformation
From “Park� the landscape re-discovered (text by IBA) The visible reminder of this past makes it clear that there is still some kind of phantom pain present, something that is no longer there, but the lack is still felt deeply.

Method / Frame Motor for a productive and recreational landscape Beauty, productivity and proximity to the landscape in and around the city is strengthened, based on existing characteristics and typologies. Forest, parks and heathlands as well as agricultural and industrial landscapes are again under scrutiny whereby the metabolistic flows, such as energy, water and food are mapped. It examines how the demand in relation to resources, nutrients and their cylce influences the architectural landscape.
Cycling and walking are activities which play a major role. They create closer relations between individuals and between people and nature. The green belt is also an opportunity for healthy mobility and the construction of new technical networks for energy.

Densification of the existing cores is caused by the combination of new activities with the current building stock. Strategic demolition of this stock reclaims material, which offers potential for a new approach towards recycling and as a result new urban spaces, use and architecture. The heritage stock is adapted and transformed to suit the new needs. New cores are added, aimed towards flexibility based on specific dwelling wishes: student cities, care and new work-life typologies.
13
Metabolism / Elements
For the reproductive or circular city, there are plus minus 8-10 urban metabolism flows. Some of them are grounded in the international/regional scale, in the natural layer, while other flows are grounded in the object, in the urban layer. In this studio, students must tackle at least three streams at the same time, working simultaneously from the whole range of scale levels. Landscape is never just context but an essential part of the solution. The object and the detail are not examples, but also the heart of the solution. The impact of the interventions and solutions will therefore be far-reaching. For the implementation of these solutions it is very necessary that they are embedded in the local community, that they are tailored to the local context. Whatever the flow or how it flows, everything starts with material and ends with landscape, everything starts with landscape and ends with material.

Synergy between a datacenter and hotspring in the Sibelco quarry.
With the shift towards a digital economy, the demand for ICT-capacity is growing fast. The fundamental node of this infrastructure is the datacenter. With the idea of the ´smart city´ as a future perspective, the question rises how the physical manifestation of the data center should be in the built environment. Could it work together in energetic synergy with other functions? This thesis explores a synergy between a datacenter and hotspring. By combining two functions a new typology is created with added value. The data center is cooled by the hotspring and the hotspring is heated by the datacenter.

This project specifically focused on the Brunssummerheide. A nature area with a characteristic mining and extraction history. After the mines closed in the seventies different recreation places in the area disappeared and the forests lost their production function. This project demonstrates how local materials and the landscape could be used in a smart way to reintroduce a recreation place using a lowtech approach. The project proposes several spa pavilions made of local wood and powered by local biomass from the forest. Wood and biomass can be harvested locally to fill up the base for the pavilions.

In the shrinking Parkstad Area, where the former instruments of financial accumulation are left unattended, a series of architectural interventions will form an interdependent network. It is a strategy for reassembly of the former infrastructure into devices which stimulate the ecology. Developed over time, they can react to the dynamic changes in the ecosystem.

The potential of recycling concrete rubble.
This project investigates the potential of recycling concrete rubble from demolition of vacant buildings in Southern Limburg. The research reveals massive amounts of concrete recycled aggregate as well as urban tendencies that result from wide-spread demolition in Parkstad. This serves as the starting point for the design that uses rammed concrete rubble prefabs for the purposes of compression-only domes. The new typologies are constructed on site of the existing demolition recycling company and blend with surrounding demolition concrete piles. It opens up traditional model of recycling for local community, oďŹ&#x20AC;ering the function of cross border visiting centre.

Yet at the other end of our consumer society a constant shortage of material resources is apparent. In Parkstad Limburg, formerly the Eastern Mining Area, extraction of coal constituted the industry, providing economic prosperity for the region. An opportunity for new economic activity is offered by forward-thinking theories, which eliminate waste. Therefore this project aims to comprehend the complete process of producing a structural composite made of waste, available in the Parkstad region.

Parkstad is looking for new long term perspectives. One of those could be growing Miscanthus x Giganteus - a foreign ‘super’ grass - on the many grass plots (5000ha in total). The benefits of Miscanthus are multiple: it extracts up to 40 tonnes of CO2 per hectare and absorbs fine particles and sound coming from cars. With the yields of the dry material, ethanol can be produced to fuel the local transport system. A plot 16 hectare, formerly used as the minestone pile of the Willem Sophia mine, is the location of this project. Here the coordination of the plots, the processing into ethanol, the cultivating of rhizomes, the research and informing of landowners will take place.

In Parkstad, the threat of rising mine waters could cause damage to buildings and possibly contaminate the surface and ground water. Combined with the decentered urbanity and loss of cultural identity in the area, Parkstad faces a challenge. This project investigates how to harness the potential of this rising mine water? By creating a leisure and agricultural hub that harvests at every stage between the extraction of mine water to its eventually reinjection into the natural water system, this project aims to revitalize Parkstad.

In an attempt to balance the housing market in the light of population decline, HEEMwonen, a local social housing association in Kerkrade, Limburg, demolished part of their building stock. The vacant land will be transformed into a public park in the coming years. This project uses a fragment of this park and includes a restaurant and watch tower to increase the park’s value for the people living in the neighbourhood. The goal is to create an appealing all-wood building as an exemplary piece of architecture for future sustainable building.

This project aims to design an architectural ‘prosthesis’ to the castle Schaesberg. Vacancy & lack of maintenance have left the ruin in decay. Using state of the art techniques, such as 3D scanning and digital fabrication, the connection to the ruin will be designed to fit exactly to its ragged edges. The fully reversible extension will stabilize the structure and rehabilitate the building as a modern craft school. By drawing inspiration from both the castle’s history and its present form carved by nature, the project will show the thin line that separates history from the future.

Closing energy loops in a postindustrial landscape.
The Parkstad area is suffering from building vacancy and a decreasing population since the closing of the mining industries. At the same time the area has been affected by coal resource exhaustion. Currently the energy crisis, such as the rising energy consumption in the world and the depletion of fossil fuels in the near future, offers new opportunities for the Parkstad area. So the purpose of this project is to give the area a second life by closing local life cycles for food and energy production with algae and aquaponics.

Synergy between a datacenter and hotspring in the Sibelco quarry.
With the shift towards a digital economy, the demand for ICT-capacity is growing fast. The fundamental node of this infrastructure is the datacenter. With the idea of the ´smart city´ as a future perspective, the question rises how the physical manifestation of the data center should be in the built environment. Could it work together in energetic synergy with other functions? This thesis explores a synergy between a datacenter and hotspring. By combining two functions a new typology is created with added value. The data center is cooled by the hotspring and the hotspring is heated by the datacenter.

Organic architecture with local resources.
Towards P3 Model Studies
The context of this project is the South of Limburg, a region that has strong regional architecture tradition manifested in for example half timbered housing and marl constructions. Within this framework this thematic research paper address the potential use of local resources in South Limburg as a development of a method that can be applied in other regions. In the 2010â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the knowledge of scarcity of resources is nothing new nor lost, the growing consumption of ďŹ nite resources has however not declined. On the contrary, resources are lost in an accelerating rate. This project strives to found a new approach towards circulair materiality.

DESIGN | SPA PAVILION
This project specifically focused on the Brunssummerheide. A nature area with a characteristic mining and extraction history. After the mines closed in the seventies different recreation places in the area disappeared and the forests lost their production function. This project demonstrates how local materials and the landscape could be used in a smart way to reintroduce a recreation place using a lowtech approach. The project proposes several spa pavilions made of local wood and powered by local biomass from the forest. Wood and biomass can be harvested locally to fill up the base for the pavilions.

In the shrinking Parkstad Area, where the former instruments of ďŹ nancial accumulation are left unattended, a series of architectural interventions will form an interdependent network. It is a strategy for reassembly of the former infrastructure into devices which stimulate the ecology. Developed over time, they can react to the dynamic changes in the ecosystem.

Subterranean Energy Storage Jornt Walsmeer | 2018
Energy storage in the mineshafts of Parkstad.
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is currently happening in full swing. Energy storage is necessary to provide reliable electricity supply throughout the day. The deep mineshafts of Parkstad have potential to store excess electricity. By extending this process into accessible towers on top of the shafts, the process can be observed in the surrounding area. The visual nature of this method can aid in establishing a more conscious relation between people and energy consumption as well as making the region self-supporting.

Biomass power plant integrated recreation program.
Parkstad is now facing urban shrinkage. The development of biomass probably can provide a change for this region. Therme Biomass, as a power station, will produce energy and resource to Parkstad. Integration with a bath center will atrract guests to come here and learn more about this renewable energy and technologies. This project is an experiment for the future of industrial architecture.
