Unintended Urbanism
Architecutre & Urban Space
AN EXPLORATION OF A NEW URBANITY. 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.

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.

Architectural Association 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......

To respond to the client’s theme of surrealism, the strong topography and diversity of the site are strengthened by numerous passageways and levels within the project.

Vrije Universiteit Brussel - UniversitĂŠ Libre de Bruxelles Advanced Design Studio The current Etterbeek train station is not meeting the travellers needs. Situated in the middle of multiple university campuses, an office area and residential neighborhoods, the station is an important transport node for Brussels. Surrounded by major ongoing projects, the already growing number of daily users has taken its toll on the mundane station. The goal of the project is to transform the station into a transmodal hub, fit for the scale of the site. All whilst dealing with on-site heritage and a large height difference between the tracks and the surrounding streets. First semester masterplan created in group. Selected drawings are all personal creations.
