Hand drawing | Design town square | Bachelor year 1
During this training a design for a town square is created through various drawing techniques. The picture on the left is a plan view. This drawing is making clear in which ways the town square is bordered and how it is accessed. On the map various parts of the program are already appointed.
This is a profile drawing of the town square. The profile drawing of the heights shown include the adjacent buildings. The town hall is evident with its imposing size and shape. Also, the profile clearly shows that the square with the fountain and the entrance to the town hall are increased in height. The entrance to the town hall is far increased so that the half-floor of the highway creates a bridging access to the town hall.
An artist’s impression is made in the form of a axonometry (bird’s view). In the artist’s impression clarifies in what way the highway is located below the entrance to the town hall and how an slightly elevated square will look like. With this drawing an attempt is made to show a desirable experience of the town square. With the design of this town square a solution is proposed for an attractive, traditional town square which also goes against infrastructure limitations.

Designing inside out | Bachelor year 1
Starting at the smallest scale a design was made for one apartment. Each group member from our project group (five students) has designed this house for a residential complex for students represented in a model. Here I was responsible for the design of the communal areas (staircases, entrance and elevators), the interior walls, exterior walls and the glass.
After designing one floor a study has been made at a larger scale. A design was made for a housing complex on the Landtong (Rotterdam). This design is translated into a scale model. By means of the side and top views, the model was created. Here I was responsible for 2 of the 4 buildings that had to be made.
After designing a housing complex, the focus moved to a scale at neighborhood level. A design was for a student district in the district Dokharbour (Rotterdam). I have made a design for the plan and contributed to the concept for this student district. The design also includes the infrastructure, public space and facilities.
Following up the definition of the concept and the creation of a design, the design was depicted in a scale model. In this process I was responsible for putting every part in the right place. The model shows that all the residential towers were south-west oriented. This is done for optimum incidence of the sun for both the apartments and the solar panels on the sloping roofs. The facilities are centered on the middle island so that the accessibility (walking distance) is small and equal for each resident.

City centre | Bachelor year 1
The ‘City Triangle’ is a dense urban area in the center of Rotterdam. In a project group of up to 4 students a center vision was outlined. As a final product a model had been made. One important goal was to reduce the housing shortage of 10,000 dwellings in order to achieve a better urban environment. During this project there was no budget. The absence of a budget has resulted in many creative endeavors.
Our concept for our design can be summarized in a slogan: Where skyscrapers and green come together. In order to realize high-rise much shadow would be created in the area and most of the project area would be used for buildings. To realize these high-rise buildings, but also fitting in the necessary public space we have chosen to integrate the public space on the buildings themselves in the form of green roofs. This has many additional benefits. This concept also reflects the objectives of the Rotterdam Climate Initiative. The problem of shade is reduced by means of tiered buildings.
The white buildings show existing buildings and buildings that are already in development. Blue stands for the new designed buildings.

Hand drawing | Design water dwelling | Bachelor year 1
These drawings are designs for a water dwelling. With the floor plan, side and upper views were drawn to scale. With means of this floor plan and side and upper views a detailed expoded view was created. Then a isometric projection was drawn to scale from the floor plan. Finally, a perspective drawing was made in correct proportion.

Graphic software | Bachelor year 1
In this course Katendrecht (a district in Rotterdam) is analyzed by means of multiple spatial maps created in Adobe Illustrator. het Polsgebied
First, an Autodesk Autocad map was supplied by the municipality of Rotterdam and this file is imported into Adobe Illustrator. Subsequently this surface could be modified to accentuate the different spatial aspects. These aspects were functions, access and public space.

City ecology | Bachelor year 2
In a topical theme called urban ecology, a green structure was chosen which was in need of an improvement and woud be a valuable addition for the Rotterdam urban ecology. My chosen green structure in the district Charlois contained a ‘missing link’ that deteriorated the green structure as a whole. This was analyzed by photo’s and spatial maps. Subsequently a concept was formed. This is formulated in a package of measures. The created concept will contribute to Rotterdam as ‘walkable city’ and has urban ecology integrated into the design. The design is represented in a master plan (figure right below) and artist impressions.

Programme
This assignment was intended to bring basic knowledge considering urban planning into view by means of graphic software. Different typologies of urban design were represented in maps, profile drawings and 3D images. These are all simple and clear. Subsequently, these schematic drawings had to be applied in a practical situation. The discussed topics were: type of house, field patterns, public space, infrastructure, facilities and parking. For each topic several forms of the typologies were discussed. On this page only the form public space is shown.
Practical situation: Barcelona

The schematic drawings shown above, illustrate the boulevard as a form of public space. The buildings define the border of the boulevard. The sidewalks and highways with their infrastructural functions are followed by pedestrian areas and the beach, which both feature a function for stay. In profile drawing the boulevard’s borders are defined. The beach is on a lower level than the pedestrian areas and motorways. Trees and benches are the standard components that belong in a boulevard. In the example of Barcelona there are many similarities with the schematic drawings. For instance, the boulevard in Barcelona has a path for cyclists.

Designing with building blocks | Bachelor year 2 Current situation
Light design
From the course catalogue of the City where different urban “building blocks” were analyzed (see previous page), the knowledge obtained could therefore be used to restructure a location in Pendrecht Rotterdam containing a few residential buildings (see image above). With two other people in my project group both a ‘light’ and ‘heavy’ design were made. Before the design could be created, the project area had to be analyzed. This is done based on the following principles: - Creating communities - Differentiation of households - Housing career should be possible - Part of the city as a whole
These points are applied to both the light version (image above) and the heavy version (image below) of the design. The design was conceived from multiple sketching and exploring different ideas.

The starting point for the light design was a demolation limit of 25%. Before we came to a final design for the heavy version we had to make some sketches and we explored different ideas. The starting point for this design was a demolation limit of 60%. In the design for the heavy version the project area was expanded to two residential blocks instead of one.

Road Path for cyclists Designed buildings Existing buildings Water Grass and trees Strip of trees
In this project, my project group (4 people) was submitted to a design issue going on in the Valerius and Revius neighborhood in Capelle aan den IJssel, a municipality near Rotterdam. Both these neighborhoods have a bad reputation and are known as ‘the wall of Capelle’. This is because this area contains elongated buildings which are 12 storey’s high. These districts had to be restructured without decreasing the current high population. From a detailed analysis (see upper left image for part of the analysis) a concept was formulated. This is translated into a real design map (right), profile drawings (right) and model (image below and next page). In the new design is the ‘wall’ has been replaced by several apartment complexes which are spread. The soccer fields have been moved to the busy roundabout in north. This makes the two previously separated neighborhoods a whole. Water is integrated throughout the neighborhood and an attempt was made to create favorable situation of shades.
