PROJECT 1 House of all Seasons
HOUSE OF ALL SEASONS, CASE STUDY, ELABORATED IN PLAN
Comment Project
Over the past 30 years, massive immigration of villagers has caused a dramatic effect on the rural environment.
These changes are particularly visible in China’s local architecture. Where there used to be regionally specific building types, there are now generic, concrete buildings.
John Lin’s design aims to combine the characteristics of both extremes into one. Local materials such as loam and brick were retained, but to make sure the structure is strong enough, it was built in concrete.
The design programme is typical of rural life in China. There are several courtyards that have both intimate and functional functions, such as agriculture. The roofs are designed as terraces for drying food, but also for sitting.
Comment Model
We made the concrete structure out of grey cardboard and loam out of brown cardboard. Brick we realised in corrugated cardboard that we stacked.

HOUSE OF ALL SEASONS
FRAGMENT STUDY
Comment Design
Like John Lin’s design ’House of All Seaasons’, this project uses clay, concrete and brick. Cast and formwork concrete is used for the stairs on the lower floor, columns and beams. The floor slabs on both floors are precast concrete slabs. The stairs on the top floor are made of brick and finished with concrete tiles that serve as steps. The roof is made of precast concrete on top of which there are concrete tiles. To separate spaces, I worked with different brick motifs and materials; these give a kind of division in the fragment without making the design too closed. Finally, there is a fluid movement from the ground floor to the stairs where you move through the whole fragment.

OWN DESIGN FOR HOUSING - SITE STUDY
Comment Own Residency
This design continues the fragment study of the ’House of All Seasons’ design.The house will be realised in concrete and brick. The form is determined by the site. The opening of the garage in the vacant property leads to the entrance of the house. An additional entrance is provided on the western side of the design. There is a certain complexity in the spatiality due to the use of stairs. Again, there is a fluid movement from the lower floor to the terrace roof.

PROJECT 2 Laken
INTERVENTION IN LAKEN
SITE STUDY
N21
Gasstraat Ledeganckstraat
ISSUES LAKEN
Degasstraat is formed by houses whose houses are uninterrupted on one side. Long streets like this create crime and safety problems. Specifically on this site, the one building block is cut off from the block of high-rise new buildings. Gas Street is adjacent to a railway line making an opening a difficult task.
There are already 2 crossing points (but with too much distance between them) : a first one is at the junction between the N291 and Gasstraat and a second one is at the first site we discussed.
Between these crossings, we created an opening designed according to the scale of the site. ‘intimate design’
DESIGN
The design on the street side follows that of the nearby houses. That structure is linked to a bridge leading over the railway line to a second design. This is designed in response to the opposite side of the railway line. Roofs follow the same slope and the shape of the design is like a continuation of Ledeganck Street.
The infill of this design is to be decided by the city the design gives an infill, though there are two water features, this prevents the ground floor from becoming a place of criminal activity

UNDERGRADUATE THESIS
CONTEXT
With this project, I want to take a step into the future. In an environment where there are quite a lot of old buildings, I want to place an innovative and especially ecological design designed with our future of man and architecture in mind.
PROGRAM
In the volume that faces south-west are the smaller programmes. On the lower floor you have a bistro and also a small cloakroom. Above that you have a room that can be used according to the programme the neighbourhood wants to organise.
This part is connected to the second volume, the auditorium. The hall has a fixed part grandstand under which a meeting room, technical room and toilets are provided. Above the grandstand, there is also a small room for sound and light regulation. The rest of the hall is open.
On the roof floor is the caretaker’s house and you have a kitchen and storage area that can be used by the neighbourhood. A key focus of my design is what happens on the roof
There is a communal kitchen and storage area and most importantly, the kitchen garden. I see this space as a place where people can, for example, organise something small with the neighbourhood and then they can use the vegetable garden for preparing food. But I also see it as a kind of little park. My parents, for example, like to take a walk in the vegetable garden in the forest in Beernem, and it’s that cosy natural atmosphere I want to create on the roof.
CONTEXT IN WHAT WAY IS THE DESIGN AN ECOLOGICAL MACHINE?
The design consists of an outer shell, the greenhouse, and it has several functions:
• the growth period of plants
• regulates microclimate between outer shell and the volume within it
• It keeps the temperature up during winter
• The roof is used to collect solar energy
• In turn, the solar panels are also used for shade during summer
Finally, the roof is used to collect rainwater
HOW DOES THE GREENHOUSE OPERATE
It keeps the temperature up during winter
• Global warming causes the room to heat up faster and to retain that heat, rainwater tanks are located above ground in the conservatory. The water can then serve to trap the heat and release it when the temperature drops
During summer, windows can be opened. Ventilation can circulate in every direction and the roofs can also be opened, this gives you a natural circulation that lets the heat flow out of the building. Cloths can also be hung over the vegetable garden to provide extra protection from the sun. South-facing, I also grow bamboo which serves as a shade system.
Water system
• Greenhouse collects rainwater, due to the size of the water surface, 6 tanks of 10,000 litres are needed, these are located underground and above ground. On top of the tanks is a layer of stones so that when there is an abundance of water, the water can penetrate the ground more easily.
• The black water goes to a septic tank which then enters a helophyte field via a pump. That field will ensure that the water is purified but since we can already collect enough rainwater, the helophyte field will be used to purify water going to the park and site.

LE CORBUSIER VILLE RADIEUSE
The idea behind Ville Radieuse represents a utopian dream of reuniting humans in a well-ordered environment. The linear city is based on an abstract form of the human body with head, spine, arms and legs. The design maintained the idea of tall residential blocks, free circulation and abundant green spaces. The housing blocks are arranged in long rows that step in and out.
The reason I researched this plan is because it was made in a very schematic way. Only one corner was worked out in the plan, then it was mirrored until it forms a whole.Residential blocks, high-rise buildings and roads are copied several times and each part follows a grid
UTOPIA OR DYSTOPIA?
LIVING ON WATER
Comment
Climate is a perennial problem for cities. Especially in Belgium, rising sea levels will cause major problems, which is why we ask the question: are there no opportunities on the sea? Living on the sea means we have a solution for rising sea levels, there would also be less sprawl, allowing us to live more concentrated. Specifically, the Ostend inner port is a weak link in coastal safety: Ostend and bredene are not protected against flooding from the sea.
We started from the hexagon shape. The reason is that a modular city on the sea would be very advantageous and the hexagon is ideal for expanding a city. On this hexagon, we designed a certain shape that follows the coastline of Ostend, on which building blocks are placed. These building blocks are 80 metres long so that walking distances from building block to building block remain accessible. There are also some cores and green areas that are within walking distance of each building block.
Is this now a utopia or dystopia?
Projects similar to this design often result in problematic areas. (cfr. Bijler Lake in the Netherlands) So with this design we are not trying to give a real answer to the problems on the future of the city. However, we do want people to realise that if we do not take measures to lower the sea level, we will be forced to carry out projects like this one.
