East River Exchange is a multipurpose micro environment, which combines a collecting and recycling transfer station with a business hotel and a ferry landing, as generator of a more extended and articulated process of transformations able to stop and invert the deterioration process of pier G on the Brooklyn Navy Yard. This new morpho-typology ensures visual and physical engagement into the working/ recycling process, making it a catalyser of waterfront activity in Brooklyn, more than something to hide. waste

Trucks, waste barges, pedestrians and bicycle paths are differentiated, yet the vertical distribution of these programs enables a strong interconnection and engagement through voids and circulation. This is related to, and affects the entire system of waste treatment of the New York area, offering an opportunity to rethink it and eventually reproduce it in several locations. By doing so, a versatile, sustainable and active waterfront is proposed as an alternative to the much contested and deteriorating waterfront in Brooklyn.

Compost Identity is a design answer formed during 3 weeks of design in the studio ‘Ugly Village’, to deal with the typical Flemish everyday banality of the intercity provincial roads characterised by urban EEN HANDLEIDING TOT sprawl, the absence of qualitative spatial BUURT-COMPOSTEREN planning and a lack of identity. Compost Identity proposes to evoke the sense of belonging by installing small scale islands of public space heated by the one element that is in abundance: compost. 2

The design focusses on the landscaping of an alternative future for one of the worlds biggest buildings: Palace of Justice, Brussels. The Palace, currently in a state of deterioration, will function as a public corridor between the poor Marollen district and one of the most prosperous districts in Brussels. The enormous Poelaert Square is purified to the bear minimum in this way celebrating its emptiness to deal with large scale manifestations and events. The south side towards the Marollen offers a green recreation area, much needed in this dense urban environment. 6 |13

A narrow pathway, consisting of prefabricated elements, elevates the trespasser over the solid ground. Several paths joined together provide in a network of shortcuts over the sloping site. At several intersections, expansions result in recreational spaces intended for the local residents.

Tower Park | VCTB
This urban design primarily focusses on the development of a concrete strategy and spatial model for the transformation of a complex piece of urban tissue, in this case the former hospital site of Leuven. The site consists of a juxtaposition of different housing typologies and open spaces, existing and new, high and low, calm and vivid but with a common goal: a high quality space, a strong identity, an address, a meeting point. A central lifeline/ armature links these specific places to each other, providing the necessary visual and physical connections between the different clusters, making it once again one entity. 8 |13

The housing units at the north of the site evoke a resemblance to funky sculptures in the park. They enclose a semi-private garden and are designed following a distinct set of rules to deal with privacy concerns and functionality. Each set of 4 pavilions contains a large communal space, in this way enhancing the social aspects of semicommunal living.

High rise levels 6 & 10 | High rise levels 7 & 11
The south side of the master plan is characterised by a live-work high rise. Instead of the obligatory two conventional emergency staircases at the centre of the tower, one is wrapped all around the building. In this way a public corridor is provided making the rooftop with stunning views on Brussels public accessible, as well as providing the clients of the home-working tenants a separate way in. Wherever the spiralling hallway takes a turn it leaves in its wake additional useable space for the apartments above and below.

The master plan of a site in Ukkel, southern Brussels, acts as a means of connection between two adjacent green areas. The park is inhabited by 2 sets of four low-rise pavilions. The southern side bordering a busy access road contains high-rise as well as medium density housing units. An additional commercial strip and live-work units ensures a rich diversity of inhabitants and usages making it a versatile and durable development.

This vacation resort at Keizersberg, Leuven is designed as a space to retreat and get away for reflection. The curved and sensual form of the building, sunken into the forested hills of Leuven, evokes exposure at one side -with a stunning panorama on the city- and yet at the same time provides a sense of security right in the heart of the miniature house.

The checkerboard is entirely generated by a set of JAVA code. The conception of the project is conceived out of the very own properties of 3d printing. The third dimension fulfils the role of the black and white colours of the conventional checkerboard game. Furthermore, by designing the checker pieces as mergeable slices they can be stored within the hollow squares of the checkerboard, thus securing the transportation process.
