As a roman city

Maastricht as a roman city In Roman times Maastricht was called “Mosam ad Trajectum”.

The romans founded a castellum within between a bridge. It was an important place to cross the river Maas. Later on the place developed into a trading post and military base which eventualy evolved into a city.

In 343 sint Servaas arrived in Maastricht. He turned Maastricht into a catholic cathedral ciy with a bishop. The sint Servaas church was build in 1100. A lot of churches and monestary’s are build in honour of important holy people. This gave the religieus content of the city a big boost.

As a Medieval city

Maastricht as a Medieval city The medieval city is build against the old roman settlement. Later on a second bridge was build. The city needed protection so a second wall was build. Inside the city walls there was room for agriculture to give the city a steady suply of food during a siege.

Becouse of sint servaas and the cathedral city religion was really important. As you can see on the picture on the bottom of this page the skyline of maastricht was dominated by churches.

In the SPHINX area (boschstraatkwartier) there was a monastery with a lot of gardens.

As a Ceramic city

Maastricht as a Caramic city Maastricht is famous as a medieval town but not as an industrial town. It was one of de first en greatest industrial city of the Netherlands. The Sphinxs was not the only caramic factory in the city there were two other factories callt MOSA and Société Céramique. The only factory what is still producing caramic is the MOSA. Till 1815 Maastricht was an enclosed town with as main function to defend the Dutch border and the maas bridge. Between 1815 and 1830 there was little activity about the defence of Maastricht. The city make ends meet with: civil servants, garrison (soldiers) and free workmans.

The historie as industrial town begins in 1825 when Petrus Regout founds a kristalfactory at the Jodenstraat. 9 Years (1934) later he opens a glass and caramic factory at the Boschstraat (Boschstraat kwartier) this site was for 170 years the settlement of the factory. The factory was nearby ‘‘Het Bassin’’ and the canal (ZuidWillemsvaart) was a tactic place for supply and transport the goods.

First image of the SPHINX factory 1840 First use of the pottery oven

In 1835 Regout founded a nailfactory in 1842 a gunfactory and in 1846 a gassfactory, all at the same site (Boschstraat kwartier).

In 1848 their was a big economic crisis and Regout sold no goods anymore, he decided to continue the production of caramic and store everything for later. A year later the economic resession was over and Regout sold the whole stock and became the richest man of the Netherlands. In 1863 he decided to invest the money in the factory and bought the whole area of the Penitenten monestry that lost its function during the French occupasion. Regout expended the factory and it became a part of the city.

City wall and factory, 1868

In 1866 the municipallity made some plans to remove the fortimfications and make place for factories and social housing.

In 1868 they begun to tear down the walls and the fortifications.

The Dutch engineer Domeinen, F.W. van Gendt made the plans to expand the factory, the inner harbor (Het Bassin) and the railwaytrack to Belgium and Germany.

Regout died in 1878 and a new generation took over control of the factory. In 1899 the name of the company changed ‘‘Regout porselein’’ into N.V. SPHINX. The production growth till the start of world war I. The export of the products stops and they could only sell within the Netherlands. After the war they have to modernise the factory and the designs because a lot of people don’t like the old fashionable caramics. The factory benefits of the reconstructions of the cities in Germany and Belgium after the war.

In 1927 is a big demand of sanitair products, so the direction of the Sphinx decided to make a big extension called the ‘‘Eiffelbuilding’’.

The people of Maastricht also called it a skyscraper because of the 20 m hight and the modernistic style. The Eiffelbuilding is placed were before the glassfactory was situated. The building again expanded in 1929 and in 1940.

In 1958 the directions of Société Céramique and the Spinxs decided to merge the two businesses into one company called Sphinxs.

The character of the place in that time were the chimneys, in 1965 they decided to demolisch 80% of the chimneys. In 1992 the last chimney was removed because the tunnel ovens were already destroyed.

In 1960 the pottery market drops drastically that leads to close the department of the and they wanted only to focus on sanitair products. Unfortunately due to high wages in the Netherlands the factory closed down on december 31 in 2006. The production of Sphinxs sanitair is now located in Poland.

The whole area is enclosed. Only workers can get there.

In our time there is not much left of the big factory area. Only the armpit of is left. So there are more exceptions to the straight grid than there are linear lines from the originol plan.

2.1 HEIGHT Maastricht

The Maas has eroded a valley and left a lot of riverclay during the Kwartair, a period lasting from 2.5 milion years ago until now.

Some stonefactories use this material for their stones.

This valley lies between the Plateau van Margraten (140m.) in the east (1) and the Plateau van Caestert or Sint Pietersberg (107m.) in the west (2).

The city’s centre is located on average around 50 m above NAP. The centre on the east of the river, Wyck, is at a lower level. That explains why the west and higher side of the Maas was favorable for living.

1 2

There have always been floods in the history of the history. . The arrivel of the canals made things only worse. Recently in 1995, there was a large flood. So that’s why the government designated areas to serve as buffer zone.

The Sphinx area is located on the North side of the city centre.

There are some blue spots to be seen in the southern part of the area, indicating lower ground levels. Across the Frontensingel, ground level is considerably higher. More to the west, groundlevel is even more rising. The Fronten, the old defence works, can be quite easily distinguished by it’s zigzag shape.

It can be orientated towards the park or towards the city.

Eventhough the Sphinx area is situated between busy streets and in a dynamic envorinment, the courtyard feels like an oase of comfort. The eiffel buildings act a shield between the noisy streets and the courtyard.

The parking space in the Sphinx area can be accessed from one direction, from a Frontensingel’s side-way. There is another passage, via the gate at the Boschstraat, but it’s not open for cars. Then there is another big parking lot at the Hoge Fronten, which can be used for longterm stay.

The central trainstation is located on the east side of the Maas. It will take a 10 minute walk to get there. The airport Maastricht-Aachen is situated on the north side, along the A2. The destinations of the flights are predominant tourist places like Gerona, Faro, Barcelona or Antalya.

2.4 INFRASTRUCTURE Bridges Bridges are vital for a city that is divded by a river. The name Maastricht is even derived from the Latin Mosae Trajecctum : a point were one could cross the river. You can still see that the river is quite narrow in the centre. The bridge Sint Servaasbrug came, not surprisingly, at exactly that point. This bridge is claimed to be the oldest bridge of the Netherlands, built in 1280.

The bridge was restored many times, and especially during the 2nd world war it was severly damaged. In 2007 the last original parts of the bridge were replaced by a concrete structure.

6: Noorderbrug (1982-1984)

The Sint Servaasbrug and the new built Hoge Brug are only opened for pedestrians and bikers. They have to connect both citycenters and the people coming from the Central Station, located on the east side. The Wilhelminabrug is connecting the car traffic in the middle of the city centre and has thus a local function.

But for the dominant car traffic, the two outer bridges are vital.

They connect the traffic coming from the A2 with the west part.

It’s quite evident that the urban sprawl in the west part has an east-west direction. Instead in the east part, or Wyck, the urban fabric is more north-south oriented along the A2.

The Sphinx area is located near the Noorderbrug. It is therefor easily accessible from the A2. It is also at small distance from the city centre. The two big parking areas in it’s vicinity playing a key role in visiting the city centre by car. You could say that the Sphinx area is a first welcome with Maastricht and has an important role to play.

2.7 GREEN & WATER Maastricht Julianakanaal

The river Maas clearly divides the city in two parts.

The old city core was located on the west side of the river. The other part was originaly named ‘Wyck’.

Because the shipping industr y disliked the meandering nature of the river, the river was split up on the northside into several parts, especially canals. Nearby our location there is the ‘Bassin’, which connected the ‘Zuidwillemsvaart’ and another nonexcisting canal. It’s recent purpose is a harbour for boating.

Then there is another river ‘Jeker’ , that starts 55km to the southwest near Luik and ends in the Maas at the southside of the old city. Here you can see a green zone in the city area, wih the ‘Stadspark’ being the largest.

Fronten park

Then the most of the green is located in the nort of the city. These green areas are not labelled parks, but are certainly green areas. With the ‘Hoge en Lage Fronten’ , the old fortifactions being transformed in green zones.

Further to the north, there is a big green zone the ‘Bosccherveld’, located between dwelling and industrial areas.

2 Stadspark

First conclusion: The location of the Sphinx factories is a border in a border. It’s located at the border of green, water, city centre and industry. But it is also pinched in the armpit of the Sphinx area. It has a lot to it’s disposal but at the same time, what are the exact qualities ?

Sphinx Maastricht Complex

Maastricht wants to create more meetingpoints in the neighborhoods outside of the city centre. The town wants to invest in public spaces. The main goal is to concentrate these public areas and connect them. This contributes to the social urban work enviroment of maastricht.

These are the excisting subcentres of Maastricht.

These are the new meeting points in Maastricht.

2.9 SIGHTLINES Streetview Bosschstraat

The Bosschtraat is the corridor from the city centre to the outskirts of Maastricht.

Especially the part where the Sphinx buildings are situated. It forms a brick gateway with the two-directional road cramped in between.

The facade of the Sphinx is closed on street level, that’s why it’s proposed to open up the facade. Also it has two stories more than the opposite facade from the Timmerfariek. So it is also suggested to top of one level, so the street becomes more in balance. It will also alow more daylight to come in.

Frontensingel This is actualy a side-way from the Frontensingel. The Frontensingel is elevated (on the left) by a meter or so, but remains mostly out of sight because of a thick layer of bushes and trees.

On the right there is the brick wall from the Sphinx area, with the belonging buildings behind it. It’s a green street, and the trees form nice arches over the street.

Quite a few trucks are parked there for permanent stay and they block the view on the Sphinx buildings.

This calm and green atmosphere differs quite a lot, compared with the stone and rushed environment of the Boschstraat.

SIGNIFICANCE

COMPOSITION

TECHNICAL

The Sphinx factory plays an important role in the history of Maastricht. A lot of citizens spent their lives working in one of the buildings, from 1827 until 2010. Maastricht became a prominent industrial city during those days, however social circumstances were poor.

Nowadays the majority of the buildings is demolished, but there are still some factory buildings remaining especially in the northern part. The large white Sphinx building is being renovated at this moment. But the others are waiting for new purposes.

Maastricht is roughly spoken, divided into two equal parts. This is caused by the Maas, running in south-north direction. The urban fabric in the west part spreads out to the Belgian border in western direction. In the eastern part, or Wyck, the urban sprawl is orientated south-north, caused by the presence of the highway A2.

The demographic of Maastricht, shows an unbalanced age profile. Of course, the student group is well presented, but Maastricht is incapable of keeping them after graduation or attracting other young professionals. If Maastricht is willing to be a Brainport, they should definitly address this topic.

There are two rather large carparks, one is located in the Frontenpark. This serves as a longstay park. The other carpark is situated on the premises of the Sphinx. Both are very well accessible coming from the A2. From there, it is a short walk to the old centre.

Coming by train, it is a 15 minutes walk from the central train station. Or, on could take a bus that will slightly shorten the walk. There are plans for a new tram line running through the Bosschtraat, that will connect Maastricht centre with the Belgium Hasselt.

There are quite a few urban renewals on their way in Maastricht, like the tunneling of the A2 or the relocation of the Noorderbrug. The exact consequences are maybe not yet visible, but they should be taken into account when designing for the Sphinx buildings.

Maastricht is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. It is located in a valley, created by the river Maas and probably derives it's name from it : Mosae Trajectum. A place where one could cross the river. The first settlements were on the westside of the Maas and later also the eastside was inhabited, which was called Wyck.

URBAN LEVEL

HERITAGE&ARCHITECTURE STUDIO 2015 HERITAGE&ARCHITECTURE STUDIO

Of course, in a town split up by a river, bridges play a vital role in it's existence. The Sintservaasbrug is a bridge built in 1280 and even though completely renovated. Nowadays it serves only as a pedestrian and bike bridge, but the arches and big blocks of stone give character to the city. It is accompanied by a hightech suspension bridge from 2005 and some other bridges which are serving as the main access to the traffic coming from the A2.

Maastricht was a "vestingstad" until 1867, or fortified city. There could only be built within the city walls. Some leftovers of the fortifications can be seen in the Frontenpark. So this explains why the Sphinx factory is so near to the city centre. One could also imagine that this wasn't a healthy combination.

Maastricht has a small decrease of the population, due to ageing and migrating. The arrival of students is therefor quite essential. However, after education most students will leave the city again. Peoplein their thirties are not a dominant part of Maastricht's population. The prospects even pointlk out that in 2040 there wil be a 9.5% decline.

Than, there is the religious part. Maastricht being a Catholic city, still counts 26 parish churches. Altough they form an important part of the city's morphology, the influence of the church becomes less and less. Maastricht wants to be a modern city, using terms as 'Brainport', but they are not keen on disguising their history either. In Maastricht the old and the new are of equal importance.

About the existing situation of the Sphinx area one can say that the outer walls of te factory are still standing. But most of the buildings have been demolished. The remaining buildings are cramped in the northern part. Opposite of the Bosschstraat is the Timmerfabriek, which is being restored into a cultural centre. This will give an impulse together with the new built cinema. To the north, the Frontenpark provides good acces to green and water. However the Frontensingel, situated in between, is quite a buisy road. A relocation of the Noorderbrug in the nearby future will provide better acces to the park.

From the Sphinx area to the old centre is a short walk to the Markt or the Vrijthof, the two main squares. However the large industrial scale of the Sphinx area is different from the narrow medieval streets and buildings.

The Bosschstraat, alongside the Sphinx area is a gateway between the city centre and the outer parts. The Sphinx factory can be easily seen from the Noorderbrug, coming by car.

Thus it's monumental size and white plastered walls plays a dominant role in welcoming visitors. The brown brickwalls of the other factories is less visible and is partly covered by trees. After the relocation of the Noorderbrug, this will be even more significant.

The Sphinx buildings will still play an important role in connecting the city centre with car traffic. It should be reconsidered what image or story we as designers want to communicate with the visitors and the inhabitants.

The government of Maastricht has made plans for 2030. Some are vague or in any case generic. But quite remarkable, is that they state not to shy away from experimenting in order to reach their goals. It should be thought of how design could actualy be beneficial to this proces.

The building consists of three parts that are build in different times and all have a different construction. The building sequence in time is from right to left, so the building on the right is the oldest, followed by the middle part and the left side is the youngest. In all parts the facade has a loadbearing function and the floors are more or less in line with each other.

The first part, the right side of the building, consists of a steal construction with in situ concrete floors. The sloped roof is constructed with steal trusses that carry steal beams on which the roof lies.

The second part, the middle of the building, consists of in situ concrete columns and beams, at the inside of the facade you see a fortification of the in situ concrete in line with the grid of the columns.

The third part, the left part of the building, is constructed with steal columns and beams, the beams lie in two directions perpendicular to each other and they carry a precast concrete floor.

On the floor plan you can see the grid: Part a: vertical 2x6415, horizontal no grid.

Part b: vertical 4x4900, horizontal 2x5100 Part c: vertical no grid, horizontal no grid

These sections clearly show the metal construction which is intregrated with the profiled concrete floor. There are steal beams integrated in the profiled in situ concrete floor, these beams lie in the thick part of the floor and are connected to the steal beams in the perpendicular direction.

At first they build the steal construction with columns and beams in two directions.

Afterwards they poored the concrete around the beams in a profiled formwork.

Steal columns, in line with the grid, are integrated in the facade of bricks, this brickwork gives the construction it's stability.

On these sections and in the picture the in situ concrete construction is clearly visible.

The concrete columns beams and floors are constructed together, this was common when they poored concrete on site. In these sections you can also see the fortification of the facade in the shape of columns and beams

The steal beams have a larger section at the connection with the columns which is consistend with the forces in the construction. In this construction there are also beams connected to larger beams instead of a column. At last it's worth mentioning that only the floor connects the facade with the concrete construction.

In the third part you see the steal construction. The beams, that are perpendicular to each other, are stacked on top of each other. The steal cables, visible on the picture, give the construction it's stability. There are also columns not visible because they are integrated in the wall.

VALUES

Location

1

- The area is located inside the old city centre.

- The area is near water.

- The area is next to a green zone (the frontenpark)

External accessibility

2

Internal accessibility

3

- The configuration and the layout of the buildings reflects the past use and how the buildings adapted through the years.

- The main entrance is not very prominent.

- The organization of interior spaces is not very logical.

- The internal circulation is not very easy at the moment.

- The buildings are very well connected.

4

- The position of the buildings follow the perimeter the site in a ‘V’ shape.

- The V shape has nothing to do with the linear structure of the building of the Bosschenstraat.

- The silhouette of buildings has changed over the last decades, in order to needs.

- The buildings act as a shield against the chaotic environment of the city centre, and create a quiet area.

Inner spaces

6

- The Eiffel buildings show the characteristics of the industrial factory buildings of the nineteenth and eighteenth century.

Structure 7

- The area is next to one of the old entrances of the old city centre.

- The area is accessible by car, by bike, on foot, public transport.

Building conformation

Building typology

5

- Every space has it’s own character and atmosphere, due to the different materials, structure, dimensions and openness and closeness.

- There are many large spaces next to very small spaces.

- The Eiffel buildings we’re one of the first reinforced concrete building in Europe. The use of materials and the construction systems has historical value.

- Different buildings have different construction systems. For example the Hennebique methode.

- The structure plays a major role in the spatial experience.

Materials

8

- The materials used are stratified in time: They show different layers and ages.

- The visible materials used in the buildings show the character of the industrial style.

- The ruffness of the finishing show the passage of time. Some damage reveal the buildings vacant period.

Facade

9

- The composition of the facade is a strong example of the typology of industrial factories and reflects what happened inside.

- In the facade ornamentation and window frames seams very repetitive but there is lots of variety in patterns.

History 10

- It was the first industrial area in the Netherlands. Its shows where the change happend: Maastricht went from a city of craftsman and farmers into an industrial centre.

- The Sphinx area shows one the most important imported characters of the city - The area has historic value and memories because a big part of the population of Maastricht worked there. By preserving fragments of the building the historic value will not vanish.

Zehui Li C-tour is the winning project for the design of an underground tourist attraction within the reconversion of the old mine-complex of Winterslag in Genk. C-tour is a tour under and above the ground, with focal point on the experience, made by linking some existing subterranean mine-industry constructions with new structures and tunnels.

The old ventilation shaft is the start of C-tour. In this shaft some new elements are implemented and organised in order to create new relations with the public square above the ground and to introduce the aspect of creativity into these rough, functional spaces.

C-tour takes the visitors through a range of different disorienting spaces, starting with an archive that carries out the memory of the mine-industry, a space designed to experience the specific aspects of sound and image, an art gallery that invites artists to make site-specific installations and finally at the end a monumental Double Helix staircase which brings the visitors to the top of the highest shaft-tower of Belgium, giving a magnificent view on the surrounding landscape and the whole industrial site.

In 1988 the coal refinery (the 'white side') of the Zeche Zollverein was closed, five years after the mines (the 'black side') had been shut down. The once famous Ruhrgebiet lost the driving force behind its identity and its raison d'etre overnight. For about 10 years the authorities did not know what to do with the site, but were wise enough to buy it from the former owners and declared it part of the industrial heritage of Germany.

The former coal mine Zeche Zollverein in Essen, an area of 100 hectares, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001. OMA was commissioned to develop a masterplan with the goal of finding a contemporary use for the site. The combined program of 12,000m2 for the visitors centre, the Ruhrmuseum and the Metaform will be accommodated in the site's most impressive building: the Kohlenwäsche, a former factory for sorting coals. The new program will be added without removing the existing machines that dominate the building. The result is an industrial monument that combines modern use with historic context.

At the heart of the former coal mine, the monumental coal-washing plant (converted some years ago by Rem Koolhaas in collaboration with Böll and Krabel) provides a new home for the Ruhr Museum, which opened in January 2010.

This institution, which regards itself as the repository of the region’s memories, is probably the visually most fascinating of the new exhibition facilities completed in time for the Ruhr 2010 celebratory year.

Where once “black gold” was washed and sorted by complex and highly rationalized industrial processes, the natural and cultural history of the Ruhr area is now presented on three levels in a new integrated concept.

Despite the changes that have been made, this impressive industrial monument is not just a container for the objects on display; in a sense, it forms part of the exhibition itself.

Roughly 80 per cent of the machinery, for example, has been been left in place for reasons of conservation, a fact which posed something of a challenge for the museum designers from HG Merz in Stuttgart, who were forced to lay out the various collections and exhibitions around the existing objects.

The architects’ manifold design, which changes in character from one area to the next, is for the most part restrained, yet without forgoing the requisite mise en scène; for example, some of the finer exhibits are deliberately set off against the rough, stained walls.
