01. Parametric Healing Environments TU Delft graduation project - Robotic Building/Architectural Engineering Studio September 2018 - January 2020 Tutors: Henriette Bier, Sina Mostafavi and Ferry Adema This project is an exploration of computational design and robotic materialization in the context of the AMC hospital located in the south of Amsterdam. The pavilion serves as a parasitic intervention in the public spaces of the bulding, which is due for renovation. Its main purpose is to create Healing Environments for the users, integrating factors such as thermal comfort, lighting, acoustics, vegetation and spatiality.

01. Parametric Healing Environments: concept Healing environment: a physical setting and organizational culture that supports patients and families through the stresses imposed by illness, hospitalization, medical visits and the process of healing. (Stichler, 2001).
• indoor air quality
• thermal comfort Technical Parameters
• acoustical quality
• visual or lighting quality
• Individual factors / + ergonomics & spatial qualities
• Social support
• Relaxation opportunities

Qualitative parameters
• Positive distractions
How to enhance overall sustainability of the AMC in the future?
How to create healing environments within the public areas of a complex building such as the AMC hospital?
What is the added value of parametric design, robotic fabrication and operation in the context of healing environments? How to integrate parameters such as acoustics, visuals, thermal comfort and spatial qualities in a design?
Most restaurants, lounges and commercial functions are concentrated on just the ground level, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary to re-distribute these recreative functions throughout the different levels of the AMC.

02. Pastoor Van Arskerk gallery TU Delft MSc2 - Heritage and Architecture Studio February 2018 - July 2018 Tutors: Alexander de Ridder The topic of this project was the renovation of Religious heritage in the Netherlands due to the increasing secularism. Many church buildings are now vacant yet still hold monumental value to be rescued. I had the possibility of visiting the Pastoor Van Arskerk church in the Hague; the spatial qualities and materiality inspired in me the idea of transforming it into a temple for art. The intervention displays a contrasting archi-tectural language so as to emphasize the existing nature of Aldo Van Eyckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design.

The church, located in Den Haag, the Netherlands, is special because of its variation in space, height difference and play of light. It represents Aldo Van Eycks design principles: reciprocity, the structural elements as components of order and character and the circle as a motif.
Gothic nave: high traverse space Crypt: low closed rectangular space
Intervention: Inside-outside transition pavilion and art gallery
28
02. Pastoor Van Arskerk gallery: concept The spatiality and meditative, shelter-like genius locci of the church gave me the idea to transform it into an art gallery for sculptures and installations.
Introversion to extroversion When transforming the meditative church into an immersive sculpture gallery it can be opened to the exterior environment.
Disruptiveness: Grid + free form... the intervention relates to but contrasts with the original building in terms of form and materiality.
In-between threeshold The intervention connect the interior and exterior spaces with an in-between threeshold (the pavilion embracing the church)
Interaction between space and art Sculptures and installations of a certain kind could interact with the sober environment of the church and Aldo Van Eyckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principles

03. Urban Borders (Finibus Urbana) TU Delft MSc1 - Hyperbody Studio October 2017 - january 2018 Tutors: Henriette Bier and Sina Mostafavi Students involved: Szymon Lapaj, Arav Kumar, Dafne Swank, Hidde Manders Role: Design concept development, presentation design My first semester at TU Delft began with the Hyperbody studio, which focuses on computational design and robotic fabrication techniques. Together with my team, we designed a pavilion in the waterfront of Rotterdam that could protect users from the wind, provide different seating areas and porosity for various insects to take refuge in. It also integrates motion-responsive LED fixtures.

03. Urban Borders (Finibus Urbana): context Urban Pavilion: Intervention in Rotterdamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public area
Spatiality: Various degrees of sheltered to open areas
Functions: Wind + rain shelter Resting/sitting area City attraction
Design driver: Relationship to waterfront and environment
Passerbys:
Runners:
Water transport lines: waterbus, water taxis, commercial boats

Fabrication method: Robotic production and operation
Location: Boompjeskade, next to the Maas in the city of Rotterdam, Netherlands. This location is thriving with commercial and residential areas as well as green, open spaces
38
03. Urban Borders (Finibus Urbana): concept
The main concept is the interaction between the city and nature in a waterfront pavilion that can be used by humans and insects alike

Function mapping of the pavilion 40
03. Urban Borders (Finibus Urbana): materialization
Object with porosity inside
41
Porosity inside = negative of final object (made of sand + binder)
The negative placed inside a cast, with the tectonics of the concrete surface
Concrete poured in Object with sand layers, depending on inside structure is structural quality of placed on site. Due negative to natural elements, sand will be removed
Porosity distribution informed by stress line analysis 42
04. Economic Faculty Project Ricardo Palma University - Baracco Vertical Studio September 2012 - December 2012 Tutors: Juvenal Baracco This project was developed during my bachelor studies and it’s an Economic faculty building for both graduate and post-graduate students (located in Lima, Peru). The main design driver was to create fluidity and multiple spaces for people to connect on different situations, such as study, recreation, classes and so on. The structure that supports the sinous university pavilions in a rythmic repetition of large ‘x’ shapped elements, defines these spaces, and the west-side facade shades them in an organic leaf-like pattern.

04. Economic Faculty Project: context University design: Fluidity: Integrated study Seamless transition and recreational between sectors building
Functions: Post-grad and grad economy faculties Recreational areas Library Cafeteria Staff + students: Over 5,000 stay > 8 hours
Visitors of public spaces Over 250/day stay > 4 hours

Design driver: Integration of study + recreation spaces
Fabrication method: Repetitive metalic structural elements + Concrete slabs
District of Surco in the city of Lima in Peru lacks green spaces and public infrastructure. The Panamerican Highway is embedded into the urban fabric and is surrounded by both residential and commercial buildings.
