This portfolio contains several projects of my academic career, as well as some extra-curricular projects. My interests in architecture come from a love for designing, people and space in general. During my academic career I especially enjoyed getting to the essence of a material, designing from a construction method or translating a design concept. Additionally, I developed a great interest in design- and collaborative processes in general and believe architecture to be the perfect platform to connect people to their environment.

2ND YEAR BACHELOR PROJECT, 2013-2014 The design is for an experimental school, combined with research rooms. The school is adaptable to fit different teaching methods and layouts. Two classrooms are protruded by the research rooms that are placed a little higher, so that researchers can observe the students without disturbing them. The height difference creates storage space as well. The windows are covered by wooden lammellae, that continue on the inside to follow the shapes of the rooms.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY
BACHELOR PROJECT, 2014-2015
The multidisciplinary project is a collaboration between students of different disciplines, namely architecture, city planning, building physics, construction and real estate. Because of a lack of building physics students, I took on the role of building physics student as well. The building is located in Rotterdam, next to an unused rail line and empty train station called ‘de Hofbogen’. It aims to connect in all directions and is intended to become part of a larger structure of activities that aim to make the Hofbogen a new route through the city. A large program of apartments for the elderly is located in the tower. Because of its size of the tower and the square immediately underneath it,there could be wind disturbances. According to our theory, the a large portion of the wind will go underneath this gap to solve the problem, where it is immediately caught by wind turbines.

PROJECT
DESIGN: THE SILVER TOWER The design is aimed as a confronting and connecting beacon in the city. The main target group are the lonely elderly. The building will not only give them a home, but also tries to involve them in the community. Therefore, it is possible to enter the building complex both through the Hofbogen, the lower square and the street side. The raised square will facilitate activities such as markets and concerts. The complex houses care facilities, offices, shops and ateliers. The residents can choose to share their communal space with each other to discourage loneliness. The structure of the tower is a concrete core with a steel ‘mushroom’ on top, on which the floors below it are hanged. Besides the wind turbine, the building is as energy neutral as possible, by using a thermal energy storage, sun panels and grey water system.

FINAL PROJECT DESIGN: CULTURE ROUTE THROUGH ARNHEM
The Bachelor Final Project is partly a collaborative research project, and partly a design. The design shown on the following pages is a set of four buildings with a cultural function that aim to connect the city center to the harbor area. They are different in function and therefore very different types, however they share the same design concept. One of them, the museum building, is further developed and can be found on the next pages. It follows the concept of concrete cores that carry the storey above. The top faรงades are based on surrounding materials and patterns,the bottom storeys are open and relate to each other and the public space in between the building.

ARCHITECTURAL MASTER COURSE, 2016
For the course Architectural Expression, a tectonic expression has to be translated into a large scale artefact. The artefact had to be made of grey PVC pipes no longer than 1,2 meter, and white cloth of any type, used as a skin for the artefact. The result is thus a large-scale architectural object placed in a real-life context. By means of how the artefact came to be, it tries to show the relationship of its making with the expression it shows. The final artefact would be the result of addition, where the shape would still be undetermined during the making, thus arbitrary and unordered. This gave the artefact a duality of being comprehensible when unfolded and incomprehensible when folded. Additionally, there is a clear geometrical expression in the object. When standing up close, there are spaces and tetrahedrons, when far away the object is mostly planes and lines.

ANALYSIS: LEWERENTZ’ ST. PETRI CHURCH Although I have analyzed many buildings during my studies, the church of St. Peter by Sigurd Lewerentz was most remarkable. An excerpt of the analysis is found on the following pages. The church in Klippan is built by a passionate architect, who spend great amount of time and effort into the thinking of making the building. The preciseness of the drawings (every single brick drawn), the large amount of time spent on the construction site, how the ideas and metaphors that express Lewerentz’s ideas on faith are translated into architecture: all together this makes it a truly remarkable building. The brick walls of the facade are load bearing, they consist of a inner and outer wall and a cavity in between, its width together increasing up to 70 cm. The secondary structure consists of wooden beams that carry the roof.

EXERCISES
ANALYSIS: LEWERENTZ’ ST. PETRI CHURCH In the images on the left the connection between the steel beams and the vaulted roof is seen. The steel struts hold up the vault beams and are different in length because of the “breathing” shape of the roof. The brick vaults are not constructed solely of brick, they are covered by metal roofing plates.
Metal roof
The walls in the meeting room building are part of the ventilation system. The cavity in the brick walls is used for fresh air supply and the warm air is distributed in the rooms through openings at the windows.

MASTER PROJECT 1, 2015-2016
Upon close investigation of the building, one can find many elements that are chosen with a certain meaning. The hiearchy of the doors is an example of this. Lewerentz designed several wooden doors of different heights and widths. The type and size of the door relates to the significance of the room function. Double wooden doors are found west of the church where the community would leave together. The single doors (pink) are also used for rooms with a certain significance. These would be used for the entrances of the church, meeting and common room. The small red door is only found where the priest enters the service. The slightly wider (light grey) can only be found at the official entrance of the church, it is only door that has steps. The last door type seems to be a service door. Lastly, less important doors have the frame flush with the facade, important doors have their frames on top of the facade.

ANALYSIS: LEWERENTZ’ ST. PETRI CHURCH Squares
Centre of square In the constructing of the Middle line of square Quarter arc of circle plan for the church, Lewerentz seemingly left nothing to chance. When analyzing the plan and its shapes, several interesting notions can be found. Many rooms in the plan are perfect squares, the biggest of course being the church. The golden section is used in the building, even for seemingly unimportant rooms in the north west section of the building. Two squares of middle size can be drawn out of the north and west inner walls of the L-shaped wing of the building. An entrance and exit of the church are located exactly between the centre lines of these two squares.

With this in mind, one can easily see the how Lewerentz put great thought and meaning into seemingly unnoticable parts of the design.

MASTER PROJECT 1, 2015-2016
The church is almost completely materialized in bricks. The bricks are 50x100x210 cm and are never once cut. This, together with his changing facade patterns, created problems for the joints and connections. To solve these problems, Lewerentz spent a lot of time at the construction site for detailing. He used large amounts of mortar, which he developed specially for the building. The surface of the bricks is very rough, as the workers were instructed to only wipe the mortar off a little with a cloth. Lewerentz showed the character of the used materials in their roughest nature. Welded joints were left irregular and dirty on purpose, as were the bricks and mortar. They were not just shown in their nature, but presented, somewhat forced perhaps, because of the clear instructions the workers were given to give them this character. 1 [1] Blundell Jones, P.

ANALYSIS: LEWERENTZ’ ST. PETRI CHURCH
Inside the church it is purposly dark: upon entering the church your eyes need a moment to adapt to the darkness, meant as a means for contemplation. In the church there are six sources of natural light. Two pairs of windows are located on the south and west facade, and two skylights are prominently apparent. These are located just above the small entrance for the priest. At some point during the day, together with the side windows a cross of light is visible in the church, pointing at this very door.
Daylight
The service rooms for the choir next to the church receive daylight as well from such skylights. Cross of light
TECTONIC MASTER PROJECT 1, 2015-2016
The design assignment of Tectonic Exercises was to design a large hall structure to cover at least 6.000 square meters, based on a tectonic principle. My design was based on the ‘folded plate principle’, which is often done in concrete, but in this case made of steel and teflon. A folded plate is a construction principle that gains its strenght from folding like origami. Although most folded plate principles are rigid, this hall can fold and move. The hall covers an area for urban farming, which is the activity of producing local food, to sell to nearby restaurants, markets and soup kitchens.

EXERCISES
DESIGN: URBAN FARMING AT STRIJP-S The design is a greenhouse with a span of 70 meters, to house 108 plots for agriculture and several cabins for additional functions such as a kitchen, storage or market. The structure makes use of a folded plate principle of steel and teflon; it does not only gain its stability from this principle, but this also makes it possible for the structure to move and fold. This way, the entire roof structure can be moved to both sides, completely opening up the area, which makes the structure perfect for all weather circumstances. For example, slightly opening the hall creates an open park in the center. When completely opened it could make use of the rain for watering the plants.
TECTONIC MASTER PROJECT 1, 2015-2016
EXERCISES
DESIGN: URBAN FARMING AT STRIJP-S The trusses that cover the hall move with a system of double pipes. Because the bottom part moves in two horizontal directions when folded, the structure is placed on a rotating rail system that is inspired by airplane hangar door systems. The rail guides the structure to the options of folding.
TECTONIC MASTER PROJECT 1, 2015-2016
The hall houses several cabins that contain a kitchen, bathroom, stroage, etc. These cabins are easily constructed and flexible in use, as they can be adapted in size. The materials of these cabins are again plastic and steel, but here these materials are used differently than in the hall. The plastic sandwich panels give the structure its stability and hold up the roof, completely opposing the hall structure, where steel is used for stability, and the plastic merely a thin sheet. The cabin is created of several basic elements that are repeated: coned roof panels, carried by white sandwich panels on a wooden floor, that is carried by a steel frame. The cabin is entered by glass sliding doors. Because of the adaptable cabins and moveable roof, Strijp-S does not only gain an agriculture center, but also local park, market and restaurant, where one can enjoy these freshly grown vegetables within the urban farming atmosphere.

SUMMER
UTOPIA IN A FINITE WORLD
Where most of the exhibitions of the Biennale approached contemporary problems with realistic solutions, the summer school focused on the concept of utopia: the ideal, perfect place, which is not a solution to a problem per se, but rather arises from a feeling of discontent. For the summer school utopia was put within the framework of the finite world. The assignment for the summer school was to discuss and reflect upon the idea of utopia, finally creating an exhibition in the Giardini of the Biennale. Students from universities in Germany, Belgium, England and the Netherlands worked together in mixed groups of about eight students, together with a teacher of one of the participating universities. The exhibition was to be a performance, drawing, or other type of intervention with the materials at hand. This workshop alternated with visits to the Biennale, lectures and moments of evaluation.

SUMMER
UTOPIA IN A FINITE WORLD
For our exhibition, we worked from a method rather than a concept of utopia. We started by making blind drawings throughout Venice. Blind drawings are sketches of observation where one does not look at the paper while drawing. These drawings were combined into one, which created an impossible addition of ‘perfect’ spots and situations in Venice together as one utopia. This utopia became a finite island, the rising water became the extreme situation: its finiteness what attracts tourists, its rising the element of time. Venice would still be utopian, however with time its conditions more extreme. The experience of working with students with different nationalities and design cultures proved most educational of the travel to Venice. Especially the approach of working from a process of making rather than an initial concept or plan was insightful.
