BUILDING VITALITY
July 2018 Graduation Project Master Individual project
AMSTERDAM 2050 In 2050, the west part of Amsterdam will be transformed into an urban area with a high urban density. The value on health and wellbeing is increasing. In 2050 everything around us will be smart. Your healthy years are the new currency. In 2050, health will be central in society. The goal is to be as vital as possible. 2018

LOCATION The centre Building Vitality will serve society for moving, sharing and coming together. The design is located in the Coenhaven in Amsterdam. The platform connects the two sides of the harbour. This ensures for a new public and attractive urban space in the Coenhaven. Building Vitality is located in such a way, that it closes of a part of the IJ and creates an urban lake on one side of the building. With this act a new quality is made. The water of the lake will be purified. This creates proper places for hanging out and sports.

BUILDING VITALITY
THE CONCEPT The building is based on three components: the platform, the boxes and a route. The boxes are arranged within a larger volume. The leftover space becomes the inner connection and circulation space.
BUILDING COMPONENTS
TOGETHERNESS
a place for community life
boxes
route of movement
WATER

PLATFORM
a connecting element
VALUES
provide possibilities
stimulate collectivity
offer supply
create knowledge and experience exchange 11
THE ROUTE The route cuts through this space and presents itself as a pilgrimage along all the elements inside and outside. The leftover space with the route (and the platform) becomes the central meeting space. A place that unifies the different activities and brings people together. Building Vitality will be a place for Haven-Stad and its environs. A place where health as a lifestyle in 2050 can be experienced.
FACADE 12
THE FACADE The repeating element that makes up the faรงade is a sign. This symbol is a knot without a beginning or end and stands for the continuity of life. The faรงade consists out of different layers, a glass layer and a mesh. The faรงade is designed in such a way that there is differentiation in the density of the faรงade to create a distinction in the different sides and the views they allow for the athletes.

CONNECTING BY CUTTING
February 2017 Second Master Project Group project with 2 team member
ROME The project is focused on Testaccio, a pottery hill and the Roman history. A new route will be created to connect the square of an old slaughterhouse terrain with the east side of the surrounding area. The route, made by the cut, makes a new important connection to the square and has the function of showing the history of Testaccio. By walking through the hill, the history of the site will be experienced. The specific location is the Slaughter-square, where the building forms a hinge between different worlds: on one hand the organic shapes of the Tiber River and the pottery hill. 18

On the other hand the rational and geometrical Slaughterhouse buildings. The building is a combination of this ‘organic meets rational’. The volume itself is geometrical, so it will fit in the shape of the Slaughter-square. In order to continue the route to the square, the building is also cut. The inverse of the pottery hill is cut out of this volume, which gives a repetition and an inverse in the urban fabric. The object suddenly becomes a place. The way in which the building is placed on the square reminds of an old Roman palace. The facade is inspired by ancient Roman architecture. In the old aqueducts or the Colosseum is a division in three visible. This division is also used in the façade of the building. 23

HOUSE OF DEMOCRACY
June 2016 First Master Project Multidisciplinary project | Role: Architect PUBLIC BUILDING The design project focuses on a highrise in The Hague. The parliament will be relocated temporarily to this highrise. It will be located at the Koningin Julianaplein directly adjacent to The Hague Central Station. The temporary facilities of the Parliament are called: The House of Democracy. After renovation of the Binnenhof the parliament will return to its historic premises. In order to avoid investing in a future derelict building the parliament requires a temporary accommodation that could be reused as offices, housing and hotel with conference facilities as soon as the parliament has returned to the Binnenhof.

Eyecatcher/ Icon
Growing
Democracy is something that grows, it gradually develops over time 28
CONCEPT The project started with research on the history of democracy. The development of democracy in the Netherlands took more than 300 years. The tower is positioned in The Hague. The Hague is the city of politics. Therefor the house of democracy needs to be an eye catcher and an icon so: significant in stature and design. It will be very important for the skyline of The Hague. This is how the concept came up that democracy is something that grows, it gradually develops over time. The grow is implemented in the building in two different ways: in the stacking, where a Fibonacci grow is used to stack the different parts. And in the balconies, which are triangular elements that are attached to two sides of the building and show the twist in the building.

THE NEW KUNSTHAL
June 2014 Final Bachelor Project Individual design project
PUBLIC BUILDING The museum is situated in the Museumpark in Rotterdam. The assignment was to redesign the Kunsthal by OMA (1992). The new building consists of two exposition halls for temporary exhibitions, a restaurant and an auditorium.
32
33
CONCEPT The building is integrated in the Museumpark and in the routing of it. The building consists of three main volumes, each with a different function. According to the function of the volume, the faรงade ranges from more closed to more open. The three volumes together create an organic form with a main public entrance, where there is no distinction between the front and backside of the building. The building is accessible from all sides.

CITY AND HOUSING The design project City & Housing concerns the transformation of the railway zone in Delft into a residential area. This area will undergo a signi-ficant transformation, as a result of the underground installation of the train track. There’s an emphasis in the design on the relationship between urbanism - the morphology of the city - and the architecture - the typology of residential buildings.
41
42
CONCEPT The residential buildings are integrated in the park. By elevating the park, there is the possibility to park on ground level, underneath the buildings. The park will be a low traffic area. One building block will consist of twelve dwellings, four on each oor. The volumes of the building blocks are shaped in such a way that they provide a semi-public common area at the inside. The dwellings are two sited orientated and because of the cantilevered oors they will have less insolation.

HOUSE IN THE DUNES
November 2011 First year Bachelor Individual design project
HOUSE AND SURROUNDINGS The house is situated in Kijkduin, a seaside resort on the North Sea coast, close to The Hague. It’s a design for a studio house with a garden, which is integrated in a new designed neighbourhood with public space and a clear relationship with the surrounding city and the adjacent landscape.
46
47
CONCEPT The House is integrated in the dunes. This is done by placing it partly into the dune. There is a clear distinction between the two sides of the house, an open and a closed faรงade. In the open faรงade a specific composition is used for the division of the windows. The same division, but the other way around, is used on the other side for the closed faรงade. There is a strong emphasis in the design on the relationship between public and private.
