The experience of public space in The Hague South East
Combined Graduation project Architecture & Urbanism, (sep 2011 - apr 2013)
In my graduation project studied and applied the theories of Gorden Cullen (1961) and Kevin Lynch (1960), in their current-day use in urban design. Both these books focus on the relation of the design of urban spaces in relation the experience of city users. This was done in The Hague South East, an area which currently lacks in legibility. An analysis similar to those Lynch introduces in his book depicting The Image of the City, was made of the project area showing a lack of good connections and guiding elements. My project therefore introduces four new bicycle and pedestrian routes (urbanism) connecting the city’s grid-structure in the north to the plan of Berlage in the south. A new landmark (architecture) plays and active guiding role in two of these routes and gives an recognisable image to all of the interventions. If you are interested in the theoretical underpinnings of this project, you would like to invite to take a look at my thesis, which you can find on the repository of the Delft University of Technology under the title of The experience of public space in The Hague South East. Here you will also find more detailed information on the different routes and the architectural intervention.

Architectonic design
The urban context sets requirements for the building seen from a distance, requiring a certain height to function as a landmark ,and from up close, to set the right conditions for the planned urban square. Therefore the building is a combination of two different typologies; the public building and the tower. When put together they are respectively becoming the substructure and the superstructure.
To fit this combined typology in the urban setting requires some alterations in the substructure. It becomes a oval shape, withdrawing from the edges of the plot.
Height differences in the plot are partly incorporated in the building, which gives reason to apply a spiral movement upwards in the floorplans.

Experimental Randstad: IJsselmonde Masterproject Urbanism, (feb - jul 2011)
To procure a thriving future of the Randstad we need a new way of handling water. Instead of making the dikes higher, we should head to a more integrated water management system. This gives an opportunity to transform the Randstad, implementing water storage in different parts of the landscape. To have a clear vision of the use of the landscape also helps to preserve it from the threat of sprawl. Instead of expanding, the city should densify, creating new ways of living. In this more sustainable way of organizing the Randstad, a more sustainable economy is appropriate. Using the knowledge of research institutes to experiment with new ways of producing, for example in agriculture using vertical farming, the knowledge economy can be give a new boost. A knowledge economy where new ideas are an export product can give the Randstad its unique strength.

To see the spatial consequences of such a vision, a small part of the Randstad, the area of IJsselmonde is further elaborated upon. Similar to other parts of the Randstad this area is fragmented by different types of infrastructural lines. In IJsselmonde a large highway separates the urbanised north from the rural south. To counteract this fragmentation and give the inhabitants of Rotterdam South full access to IJsselmonde, the vision was to create a new dike structure, covering parts the highway. The urban waterfront should be transformed into green boulevards, enhancing the quality of city living. The harbour areas have the potential to be transformed in high density living areas now harbour functions are moving towards the see. The current glasshouse area, located at a strategical position between the railroad and the highway, should be intensified, with the use of vertical farming. This can attract visitors, forming an agricultural hub promoting awareness of food production. With this concentration of food production, farming fields in the south of ijsselmonde are made available for flooding, to store water when the rivers can not cope.

Elective bachelor project , (sept - oct 2009) The assignment was to design a small holiday home, located on a strip of land situated in the Bergsche plas in Rotterdam. Therefore the house can only be reached by boat. The design distinguishes two separated areas; one near the water where you can enjoy the evening sun on the deck, the other in the garden to enjoy the greenery and having more privacy. The house links these two spaces by outdoor passage, with on either sides a volume. The small volume contains the sleeping and bathing facilities, the larger volume harbours a kitchen and living quarters. An extended roof forms a shelter for a boat
Hybrid Building Roeterseiland, Amsterdam
Masterproject, Architecture , (feb - jul 2010)
The building contains various facilities for the University of Amsterdam, now already located on the Roeterseiland. The plan comprises two intersecting linear volumes, forming the spine of the building. The spine gives access to the building on four different sides of the plot. Along the spine different volumes are distributed, containing different kinds of programmes, such as lecture halls, meeting rooms and near the water a cafe and a restaurant.

Bachelorproject, Architecture , (sept 2008 - jan 2009)
Near Amsterdam RAI station a new district office includes a public and a govermental programme. In the substructure of the building these are located on separate floors, both accessed by bridges coming from different levels in the ground surface. The
elevated superstructure can be reached by a round core. The facade of the substructure consists of Corten steel cassettes of different shapes, forming a mosaic effect.
