3rd year design studio project. Design studio: City and Structure Along the main commercial axis of Antwerp (Belgium), de Meir, a whole city block was reimagined and adapted to current needs of the city. Dealing with retail, heritage, a school, offices, housing and community spaces the project encompassed most functions encountered in daily city life. Masterplan created in collaboration with Cyril De Raeymaeker, Leonardo Stefani and ZoĂŠ Van Begin. 6
Selected drawings are personal creations.

4th year design studio project. Architecture and Urban Space Design studio. Sprouting from initial agent-mapping of the area, urban projects for the Lindholmen area in Gรถteborg were developped.
Unintended Urbanism
My personal project remained more research oriented as the fusion of geometry and data created very interested results allowing me to explore topics such as resilience, longAN EXPLORATION OF A NEW URBANITY. term adaptability, urban layering, ... WITH A GROWING POPULATION AND AN RAPID GROWTH OF URBAN AREAS THERE IS A NEED TO UTILISE THE SPACES THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY LOOKED OVER FOR LIVING PURPOSES. BUT HOW CAN WE FILL UP THESE SPACES? HOW WOULD THESE SPACES WORK? WHAT INFLUENCES THE ORGANISATION OF THEM? USING A RESPONSIVE GEOMETRY SUCH AS A HEXAGRID COULD BE A POSSIBLE SOLUTION.

saturday, 9:12 am, 1936, London Mr. & Mrs. have just woken up after a late dinner party the night before. Mrs. works on breakfast, while Mr. turns on the radio and prepares a hot bath. They’re staying in bed as long as possible today, as both are quite tired. They direct the other rooms from their narrow bedroom with their domestic machines. They’re squeezing out every extra second in bed, before they have to head out into the city for sunday lunch.

Unit 2: The Planetary Household: Biocontrol, Microclimates and the Hacking of Domestic Machines Based on the original room sequence, a new interpretation of the original drawing was created. Combining all the actions of the first drawing, with new domestic machines, the boundaries between the rooms are slowly faded and the absurdity is incorporated.

......After a while, the space seemed to be in a steady-state, and adding more objects lost its initial effect. Only when we layed out everything that was included in the section, a real feel for what was taking up space, was achieved. In a way, emptying the room and looking at its contents truly reveals the space someone is living in. As the objects start defining the space once they’re introduced into it......

Internship Traumnovelle (Brussels, Belgium) Following drawings were made during an internship in the office Traumnovelle. The two selected private projects are both very different. Jolimont is a castle renovation/transformation in Brussels, Belgium. While Lubumbashi is a small residential development in Lubumbashi, DR Congo.
