Image 2. Plan of new city park and housing on dike 10
At the edge of land Den Helder is a small city situated in the north-west of the Netherlands at the edge of the main land. Very characteristic about Den Helder is the dike which is bordering the city on three sides, being surrounded by the sea. At the moment this dike is an very autonomous element not integrated with the city, and disconnecting the city from the sea. Also there is a need to heighten this dike to protect the city. When we look at the city centre of Den Helder we see a very fragmented public space formed by the unclear building profiles and the indistinct arrangement of the public functions. The chosen side for this project is a central area of the city running towards the dike in the north. In order to integrate the dike more with the city, give the centre a stronger profile and heighten the dike a design for this area was made (Image 3). First the big city park connecting the city centre with the dike, which can be the start of a recreational route around the city connecting the dunes and the fort in the west with the harbour in the east. By opening up this space towards the dike, the presence of dike will become more noticeable (Image 1). The park is build up from a variation of atmospheres along a route which alternate the view constantly wile moving towards the dike. This will make the route triggering and varied which strengthens the connection. With the heightening of the dike excising housing will have to be demolished and a new program will be realised. Starting from the new city hall, housing that can grow in the future along with the dike (Image 4) and new public spaces. By creating different levels in the dike we can use the big height difference as a quality; it will invite people for a more varied use of the dike (Image 5)

Hortus Publicus The last years we see more and more neighbourhood gardens developing in the cities around us. Small collectively managed outdoor spaces initiated by the neighbourhood itself or a bigger organisation. Often these gardens are constructed on empty lots in the city and are of a temporary nature. There are two developments in our current society that lie at the basis of this. First the more active attitude of the inhabitants as a result of the economic crisis. Second we can see the growing awareness of the importances for a sustainable environment and green spaces in cities. Often neighbourhood gardens develop into important places for the neighbourhood where people can meet and can escape the rush of everyday life. At the same time we see that often small public spaces are of poor quality and therefore not part of the inhabitants daily use. This can cause people to feel alienated from their own environment. Following from this the main quastion dealt with during my graduation project was; How can we use the contemporary neighbourhood garden as a model for the design of public spaces? By doing a design experiment on three different locations a design tool excising from contextual layers and form elements had been developed (Image 1). The contextual layers are of strong influence on the appearance of the garden. The flexible layer will give the users the opportunity to appropriate parts of the public space to make them able to relate more to their own environment. With the project I have also been looking for a balance in how to design conditions that will still leave space for the spontaneous to happen.This will create flexible public spaces that can change with the inhabitants wishes. The three different designs that were made (p. 18-23) show how the design tool could be used in a different contexts and how this influences the appearance of the different form elements.

Hoofddorp/stad The design for Hoofddorp/stad was one of the key-projects of a bigger regional strategy developed as a group work at the beginning of the semester. The main goal of this strategy was to strengthen and intensify developments along an improved infrastructural network in the Haarlemmermeer area, with Hoofddorp as the main centre of urban development. The Haarlemmermeer area has a lot of potential for facilitated growth in this region because of the central position within the Randstad and Schiphol as the big economical engine around the corner (Image 8). The key-project of Hoofddorp/stad was about facilitating the potential growth of this area, we wanted to connected the now very fragmented city of Hoofddorp. Currently we can see a monofunctional centre area; a unilateral housing stock, a lack of facilities and a business area only focused on offices. There is a spatial disconnection between the existing centre of Hoofddorp, the central station and the business area (Image 2 and 6). Also many offices are vacant and the city is very caroriented. In order to develop and improve the centre of Hoofddorp we want to make a better connection between the city centre, business area and the central station and at the same time offer a more mixed program. A network of public spaces flowing along a mixed program of housing commercial facilities a city-park and offices, will be the main tool for connecting the different fragments of the city (Image 4 and 5).

Stad aan de Waal This project started with the notice that the city of Nijmegen, a city in the east of the Netherlands, is very uniquely situated in its landscape. The historical centre is close to the Ooijpolder (only 15 minutes walk) and it is situated directly at the river Waal, but at the moment the connection with this landscape is very poor. The aim of the project is to use these unique characteristics to increase the quality of the public space and give Nijmegen a stronger identity; making the city relate more to the surrounding landscape and profile it as the ‘city at the river Waal.’ The site chosen to put this strategy into practice is the place that for years had been the only entry to the city from the north. Looking closer to the location, we can see that the cities relation towards the landscape has changed drastically with the construction of the Waalbridge in 1936 (Image 6 and 9). Before this the Hunnerpark was a transition zone but in the current situation this relation got lost. Future developments of the construction of a new bridge on the west side of the city creates great possibilities to connect with the landscape again (Image3). The design exists from three interventions (Image10). The first and most elaborate intervention is about the reconstruction of the old Hunnerpark. This became possible with the downscaling of the traffic node (Image 15 and 16). The park folds itself with terraces over the road, forming a stage towards the landscape opening up a great view from the edge of the moraine. The big square in this park can be used for different events the city facilitates during the year. The second intervention is the redesign of the Waalkade. The Waalbridge, which currently appears as a talus at the Waalkade, will be opened up to bring back the connection with the landscape (Image 13 and 14). The third intervention is the Ooijsche eiland which will shift the balance of the city more to the east side of the bridge (Image 11 and 12).

City of water and islands When moving to Stockholm to live and study there for half a year I had a certain expectation of the city. The one thing that fascinated me the most was the fact that the city is built on islands, sometimes even called “the Venice of the north”. But what I concluded when I experienced the city myself is that this unique quality is not used in a very exciting way. Along the water we can find roads, parking spaces and a lot of ‘emptiness’. The most of the cities life is found in the centre of the city which now lies far away from these waterfronts. Coming from this notice the activation of the waterfront was the main subject of this project. The main intention of the design was to start a discussion about how the waterfront is used at the moment and about how it could possibly be used in the future. To give an impression of how the waterfront could be used I chose a site that has the potential to become a lively waterfront because of its central position. For different spots along this central waterfront I made an impression of what it could be like (Image 4 and 5). One of these sites was chosen to develop further; a bathing place at Kungsträdgården. From this spot you have a potential great view over the water being surrounded by the Royal palace, Rikdagshuset, Opera, National museet and Kungsträdgården. To give people the true experience of Stockholm, space, now dominated by cars, has to be reclaimed for the pedestrian. To make a strong statement the drastic intervention of removing the Strömbron bridge was made. By removing this bridge car traffic will be discouraged in the centre area, wile making it more attractive for pedestrian and cyclists. With this intervention Kungsträdgården is opened up towards the water and with the new bathing place “the Kungsträdvatten” a strong gesture towards the Royal palace is made (Image 3).

Theater de Gashouder The design for the theatre “de Gashouder� was part of a bigger masterplan (Image 7) that had been developed for the Binckhorst Den Haag as a result of a group work I participated in at the beginning of the semester. The theatre had to be an urban activator for this new residential and working area. The location chosen for this design is the old gasometer which has a high historical value for this area and is situated along the green route which runs trough the Binckhorst connecting it with Den-Haag centre. Important in the design was to keep the industrial, and mysterious appearance of the gasometer. But at the same time the building had to be adapted for a new use. To do so limited interventions in the facade were made and wood was used for all interior interventions contrasting with the steel. It had to become a building that made you curious to find out what is inside, and invites you into a world of new stories. Another important point of the design was to involve the park in the cultural activities that were planed along the green route. Thus an open air theatre was build up at the waterfront, looking over the old harbour (Image 1).
