Green Bond
Green Bond
Green Bond is a continuous productive urban landscape (CPUL) * in the west side of Maastricht, that connects the old urban fringe to a series of historical, recreational, urban green spaces and finally to the northwest regional landscape. What makes Green Bond distinctive from other kinds of CPULs is the existence of a number of historical and cultural places in its structure, to straighten the concept with extra economic dimension of tourism. Furthermore, a building which functions as a Food Experience Centre is part of this system to emphasize that CPULs should not be just about urban open spaces. As CPULs have to compete with other urban land uses, existing urban greens, city farms, vacant plots, and non-polluted brownfields are precious. The location of Green Bond is chosen next to the industrial zone of Belvedere, with the purpose of revitalizing the local area. This spatial linkage between city and countryside not only enables urban inhabitants to travel into countryside and rural inhabitants to travel to cities, but also, attracts domestic and foreign tourists.

Food Experience Centre
Food Experience Centre is a complex in which people can experience the entire chain of local food systems including production, processing, distribution, and consumption. Apart from increasing public awareness about the benefits of local food systems, the concept aims to benefit both ‘local food producers’, by offering them a distribution space for their products, and ‘(local) consumers’, by providing them healthy local food options. The building consists of different spaces that represent the chain of local food systems [Table 1]. Food Experience Centre is an architectural renovation plan for a nonpolluted empty industrial building, which is to be part of ECOC 2018 for introducing the Dutch local agriculture to the world.

MAMAC TO CIAC
Museum Extension
M u s e u m E x t e n s i o n - M A M A C TO C I A C
The MAMAC ‘Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art’ was built for the world art exposition of 1905 in the Belgian city of Liege. The building, which has been functioning as an art museum, possesses both a changing and a permanent collection but due to the limitation of exhibition space the permanent collection is maintained on the basement storage. The extension plan of the museum of MAMAC aims at creating additional and sufficient exhibition space for both national and international art expositions. The old museum, which is located in the public park of la Boerie, has almost no connection with its surrounding area and the park visitors are seldom attracted to the museum’s art exhibitions. The main objective of the extension design plan is to raise the attractiveness of the museum for both local inhabitants and tourists. The museum extension design is based on two main concepts: Firstly the museum’s French garden which has been very obsolete is transformed to the museum extension and to keep the essence of the old French garden, its pattern is kept in the museum’s site plan design. Secondly the entrance of the museum is moved to the new building and as the museum is located on an island in Meuse, this way museum visitors can also enter the island by boat.
