The culture of fear seems to be increasingly embedded in today’s society, especially on highly social unequal countries, such as Brazil. People are sold by the idea of isolating themselves in their own gated communities in order to feel safe from the crimes and violence in the streets. But by neglecting the city, social interaction fail to exist and suspicion from one another is only increased.

On the other hand, life in the favelas is all about the sense of community and lively streets. Even though several problems caused by the low income and poor living conditions affects the inhabitants, people usually feel safe living within their neighbors. But even there, new social housing blocks are being designed with the same failed methodology, bringing the same gated communities to the inside of the favelas, and killing the spirit of the place.

Refavela proposes a new strategy on designing with informal settlements, which aims to improve basic life conditions for the people in need, while preserving the qualities that are very specific to these locations. The idea is that a main structure is provided by the State to the residents, so they can continue building their own houses themselves, enabling the informality which enriches the favela to live on.

Increased erosion, ongoing mudslides, steep slopes, poor soil, and inadequate stormwater runoff drainage systems have categorized Grotão as a High-Risk zone.

The area is disconnected from its surroundings due to its steep topography. All buildable space has been filled with housing, leaving only the minimal space for circulation.

A structure is built following the road system. Instead of given social housing blocks, the residents will be able to build upon the structure themselves.

Based on existing roads and the steep topography, two new paths are created to connect the whole area with its surroundings.

NOAHH Theater aan de Parade acts a social activator – an extrovert, multifunctional, cutting-edge building with an approach to implementing social space and spatial synergy. The design concept is to bring together unique halls – the intimate Theatre Hall and the flexible Parade Hall – each with its own identity and programming, under one roof.

This expressive ensemble of halls connects to a large space in the building. The foyers, the café, the botanic foyer and the roof terrace are all connected to this central space. Not only this space provide light and air to the heart of the building, it also stimulates interaction between all areas of the theatre and its visitors, as well as connecting the souterrain to the rest of the building.

The façade contains a rich tapestry of masonry structures and it encloses the halls like a transparent voile. For the design of the façade, NOAHH was inspired by the medieval patterns found in brickworks of De Moriaan, the oldest brick house of the Neterlands, located right next to the theatre.

Concept diagrams

The building acts as an extension of the public space in front of it: an open glass façade in the ground floor connects the exterior with the interior cafe and foyer.

The idea was to keep the existing structure of the main hall and the basement, creating a void on which light would enter and interaction would be stimulated.

The municipality of Alkmaar has a challenging goal to become the most innovative municipality in the Netherlands. After an extensive design competition, Proof of the Sum was selected on the basis of its vision ‘the power of magnetism’. A vision of how strengthening knowledge sharing between 600 employees should be central and how the building can strongly facilitate in this.

The existing building of more than 4.500m2, consisted of long corridors with partition walls dividing the office spaces, resulting on a place which did not foster interaction between the users. By creating two large voids, making both facades tangible at every point in the plan and carefully positioning closed program components, a new attractive starting point is created.

Careful attention was paid to the course of a working day of various employees. Network café, learning center, lockers and meeting facilities are vertically spread throughout the building. As a result, every employee unconsciously uses the entire building one day, increasing the chance of encounter and synergy.

PLUS ULTRA II building a community through innovation

In progress

Proof of the Sum

Wageningen

2017 - ongoing Incubator / Office Space / Laboratories

Roy Pype brief analysis, concept, design studies, drawings, visualization, details Archicad, Photoshop, Illustrator

Following the success of the original Plus Ultra building, in the Wagenigen Campus, Proof of the Sum was asked to design an extension to it, comprising of a multi-tenant office building with more than 11.000m2 of space for sustainable activities.

The idea for the building is based on the maximum flexibility for tenants. Possibilities of rentals range from the whole floor for big companies until a single module of 13m2 for startups, thanks to the disposition of corridors and vertical circulation around two large atriums. The atriums provide skylight to penetrate deep into the office spaces, while generating a central communal area for the users.

A central corridor on ground floor cuts the building in two, creating two main accesses, one from the Campus and Plus Ultra I on the North side, and one from the parking building which was also part of the assigment.

ABN AMRO PAVILJOEN MAHLERPLEIN a design based on the concept of circularity

The design for the ABN AMRO Pavilion is unique in the Netherlands: designing the first practical example of a sustainable and circular building. The main idea of the circular design is that it makes the least possible impact: waste-free and resilient, always taking into account the recyclability of the materials used.

The building has a large glass front façade that opens up to the plaza. The stairs lead to a public place where both passers-by and employees can meet. The roof is covered with grass, and thereby contribute to biodiversity. It is an attractive, public place to get some fresh air during the break. Inside the building there is more than 2000m2 of meeting and work space, but there is also a space for the so-called ‘living lab’. A space where the latest innovations, can be applied and tested. A part of the facade is made, for example, suitable for the application of new materials, so that it can be examined if there are more durable applications. The Delft University of Technology is involved from the beginning in the project and will remain in the ‘living lab’ to monitor the experiments and expand. In this way, the theory is continuously tested in practice.
