Urban Design & Regional Planning Portfolio

Emilia Machedon Curriculum Vitae I am an urban planner and designer fascinated by urban development in a time of global mobility.

I was born on July 11th 1986 in Bucharest, Romania. I am specialized in strategic planning on several scales: regional planning and urban planning. I feel mostly challenged by complex project assignments such as airport region planning in the urbanized delta.

Your Home’s Check In Gate Spatial Planning Strategies for the Urban Integration of the Development Driven by Amsterdam Schiphol Airport Research accepted for publication in the Aerlines Magazine TU Delft Faculty of Architecture Spatial Planning and Strategy Chair Complex Cities and Regions in Transformation Graduation Studio Mentoring Team: Dr. Roberto Rocco - Spatial Planning and Strategy Chair, TU Delft Ir. D.D. Daan Zandbelt - Metropolitan and Regional Design Chair, TU Delft

This graduation thesis tackles the issue of airportdriven urban development in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area context. Initially planned outside of cities for security and pollution reasons airports are now attracting urban development in their proximity. This development consisting of hotels, office spaces or congress centres is driven by the benefits of a location providing a fast connection to an airport with a large variety of flight destinations. This phenomena is linked to a time based competition business model in which the speed with which companies reach their world spread customer base is vital for their performance (Kasarda, 2000). Through the large flows of people and goods that they attract airports are becoming regional nodes of activity in their city regions.

Multiple authors indicate the need for the development of new conceptual frameworks that would help better understand the complex urban interactions triggered by airports on a regional scale (Freestone and Baker, 2011, Salewski et al., 2012, Schaafsma, 2009, Schlaak, 2009, Knippenberger, 2010).

Through this thesis I am proposing an alternative spatial development strategy for the area between Schiphol Airport and Amsterdam. The strategy aims to integrate the airport related urban networks in a regional vision which takes into consideration spatial, demographic and economic trends specific to the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. Moreover the strategy aims to provide solutions for the local urban integration of airport related business parks. My vision for the area is to develop Amsterdamse Bos as a metropolitan park with an urban edge providing a living and working environment in an international context.

Existing spatial planning models of airport-driven urban development are not yet sufficiently developed.

I therefore chose to use network urbanism theories in order to explain and propose future development strategies on a regional and local scale. The thesis ends with an evaluation of the proposed strategy and of the suitability of a network urbanism approach within this context.

The main aim of this strategic intervention is to enhance the connection between Rotterdam and Dordrecht by stimulating water related tourism and by revitalizing the waterfront village entrances. The Ridderkerk waterfront connection to the city centre is therefore a crucial project in this overall scheme.

The waterfront strip of land will be liberated through the relocation of the industries and it will provide the site for a new park with marina activities, playgrounds for children and green leisure areas. Water will also find its way into the village centre along the dike.

Strategic interventions include: -national level: completion of A4 highway and a superdike, -regional level: Rotterdam-Dordrecht connection with integrated villages of Ridderkerk and HendrickIdo-Ambacht, East-West connection as a chain of landscape parks, North-South connection between a new development in the port area and a wetland park, reconstruction of historic rivers; -local level: downgrading and relocation of secondary roads, relocation of existing industries, small park developments, new public transport connections.

RandStad is a policentric metropolitan area which consists of urban and natural areas connected via a network of highways and public transport. A4 and A15 corridors connect RandStad to the Port of Rotterdam, to Germany and to Belgium. Ijsselmonde at the crosspoint of cargo routes acts as an important transport hub and a ‘South Entrance’ to RandStad.

As it results from our analysis the main problem of Ijsselmonde is fragmentation of activities and landscape caused by highways and railway. At the same time traffic corridors are crucial for Dutch economy and lifestyle and cannot be downgraded. Therefore in order to improve the living environment it is necessary to create alternative landscape connections between the separated parts.

Apeldoorn Day Trip City Masterplanning and Urban Design

Published in the Atlantis Magazine. Issue 22.1 Urban Society, April 2011.

TU Delft Faculty of Architecture Urban Composition and Landscape Architecture Chair Team

Apeldoorn is a Dutch mid-size city located on the eastern borders of the Veluwe. In the coming years the city faces the danger of shrinking partly because of its young inhabitants’ emigration.

new development axis industral residential innercity

Our team’s goal was to support population continuity, on a regional scale by better positioning Apeldoorn in its city network and on city scale by improving housing and amenities for young people.

We defined the city’s profile as a Day Trip City thanks to its existing recreational features such as the Veluwe, the Het Loo Palace or the Apenheul.

These features should be better connected and displayed in order to attract visitors and boost the vitality of Apeldoorn’s public spaces. This would also contribute for keeping young inhabitants in the city were they would find enough leisure activities and housing supplies. The city centre connections to these recreational areas are important for the future plan as well as the image of the city for people in transit, the rail track window view.

In order to support the master plan individual design projects focus further on creating a city window along the rail tracks, creating a new residential area for starters and two public space interventions: a new green square along the north south connection and a new network of public spaces in the city centre.

The main goal for Apeldoorn’s city centre is structuring a higher quality public space. This will not only serve the city’s day trip visitors which have little time to explore along their way but also the city’s inhabitants which need a wider set of activities for spending their free time.

In North-South direction however, in the direction of Arnhem and Zwolle, the connection is less optimal. In the case of public transport, it is not the travel distance that is crucial, but the travel time. Arnhem is geographically quite close, but it takes about one hour to get by train from the first train station to the other.

Which city connections have to be optimized?

When talking about public transport, Apeldoorn is very well connected in east-west directions. InterCity trains departing every half an hour in both directions, connect Apeldoorn with the large cities in the Randstad and those in the eatern part of the Netherlands.

The project area is located along the Morii accumulation lake on the outskirts of Bucharest. The project program demands the extension of the existing residential neighbourhood and the revitalization of the waterfront area.

Following the site analysis some areas were chosen for their higher potential to be the location of a new sports park and a new neighbourhood park. The tip of the peninsula enjoys a beautifull bellevedere and very good lake accesibility and can therefore host water related sport activities as well as new green areas. Also according to the altimetry of the terrain a new lake can be created inside the residential area and it can provide new leisure activities for the inhabitants.

sports centre

The design aims to continue the existing street pattern by also following the more natural curves of the waterfront area. Mixed used areas and higher buildings are located inwards while the lower residential area borders the lake. A green strip of protection aims to improve the quality of the waterfront zone.

This residential development is located in the 15th arrondisement of Paris on the site of a former railyway depot. As land is expensive in the city the authorities have decided to reconvert this RATP site and integrate it in the urban tissue. Municipality representatives were present during project judgements.

Following the site analysis a series of features characteristic to the 15th arrondisement have been highlighted. The dynamic skyline, blind walls and a variety of old and new were a few important elements which determined the spatial configuration of the new residential area. An important aim of the project was also to provide more public spaces for the neighbourhood due to their scarcity. Public squares such as the Place Katherince or the Place Dauphine from the historical core of the city have been used as reference urban spaces when designing the new public square.
