TEA FOR TWO 2012
7
“SOMETIMES A CHANGE OF PERSPECTIVE IS ALL IT TAKES TO SEE THE LIGHT.” DAN BROWN, THE LOST SYMBOL
Japanese tea house design. Demountable timber structure for two people. The suspended structure creates a private space for two people to drink tea and exchange thoughts and perspectives. After entering from either side, the visitor elevates the structure while its position changes towards the entrance of the second visitor. Due to the layered structure, once inside the tea room, the visitors can’t be seen from the outside. They also can’t see the people standing in front of the structure; they are in a complete private space, with nothing on their minds accept the tea ceremony, the person in front of them and the environment around them.

SERPENTINE
GALLERY
PAVILION
Serpentine Gallery design. Temporary tea house in Hyde Park, London Due to urbanisation walls are taken for granted and we are not aware of the boundaries around us, whether we are inside or outside. This pavilion makes the visitor aware of the boundaries of the structure by a series of wall, floor and seating planes. No columns are used and the separation of the many planes reminds the visitor of their existence. To amplify the difference between horizontal and vertical planes, all verticals are wrapped in grey felt This creates both a visual as a tactile experience, playing with the fact that people touch walls, but never floors. People will be more focussed on their surroundings and their environment, which allows them live in the present, rather than being distracted by the various thoughts they might carry with them.

AN
ENTRANCE TO SYDNEY’S SCULPTURE BY THE SEA
Sculpture by the Sea Bondi Pavilion. Catalogues sales and information pavilion. The organisation of the Sculpture by the Sea festival in Sydney has asked students from the University of Sydney to design two catalogue sales and information pavilions for them, located at both ends of the festival. This design is based on the fact that there are many entrances to the festival site, but there is no marker for the actual start and end of the site. Creating a strong entrance will enhance the boundaries of the festival, allowing the visitor to fully focus on the sculptures when he is aware of entering the site. These pavilions also come with voting boxes, where visitors can choose there favourite sculpture. With a strong exit point, the visitor will also be reminded of this opportunity. The shape of the pavilions differ per site; one has a very linear site, where the inner rotation of the gates draw the visitor through, while the other one is located in a park, where the outside rotation attracts the visitors from all different angles. Both pavilions are constructed out of timber and plywood and have been fully detailed for construction.

THE
‘HOFBOGEN’ ROTTERDAM
Multidisciplinary Projects: The ‘Hofbogen’ in Rotterdam Redevelopment of old railway area Design of a residential building, combined with public facilities. The design group consisted of four architects, one construction engineer, one construction physicist and one real estate student. The building site was at ‘de Hofbogen’ in Rotterdam. The site is part of an abandoned elevated railway track with railway station. On the plinth as well as on the railway level, public facilities are located, such as shops and a cinema. The old railway station has been transformed into a hotel, with view onto the local square and main road. The main residential building is based on the apartment structure of Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation, by using two floor apartments. The colourful and the glass staircases make sure the public facilities are an inviting environment, despite of being in the shadow of the building.

EELES TRELEASE ARCHITECTS WORK EXPERIENCE
Work experience at Eeles Trelease Architects, Sydney, Australia After completing my exchange semester at the University of Sydney, I decided to continue my stay in Australia. From August 2013 to January 2014 I have worked full-time at the architecture office Eeles Trelease Architects. This office, consisting of 10 people, was envolved in many different jobs, of different scales. During my time at Eeles Trelease I have worked on 16 different projects, including smaller jobs, like the residential alterations and additions in Mosman or the Youth and Cultural Hall in Matraville. But I have also been responsible for larger jobs, like the 300 apartment development on Lords Road in Leichhardt. For approximately 3 months I worked full-time on this job, where I have had large input in the design process and aesthetics of the project. Additionally, I kept in contact with the client and different consultants. Because of my skills in Google Sketchup, Adobe Photoshop and InDesign I was mostly responsible for the office’s visualitations and presentation booklets.

Crushed Can (2013) plaster ‘Crushed Can’ shows the impact we have on the objects around us. We need our food and drinks in order to stay alive. After consuming we throw their packages away, but the shape of the can will forever carry a human imprint.
MODULAR BODY PARTS: Untitled (2013) steel rods, steel wire An abstraction of the human brain. This metal sculpture plays with the contrast of the rigid scull and the fragile brain. The soldered metal wires are suspended from the rusty welded steel cube to separate the inner network of the brain from the protecting bone. The steel wires are welded together following the metaphor of a memory inside a brain, which is constructed out of many parts of the brain and can’t be cut away by removing only a single group of cells. At some points the wires are outside the cube, showing that although the brain is contained within our body, our mind is not.
