[ RE_LINKING URBAN VOIDS ]
SOCIO SPATIAL STRATEGIES TO COUNTERACT VOID GENERATION Iquique, Chile | 2015
At the Chilean city of Iquique, the decline of the signi cance of public space is attributed to the reduced availability and functions attached to it,at the same time to the ongoing desire to control the own space (market oriented development).This project aims to deal with the fragmented city, as a result of the in uence performed by the presence of urban lost spaces (Voids’) over the morphological structure of the city, through an Strategic integrated plan for public space management, which can recognize the dynamic and multiscale values embedded in these urban voids (lost fragments of public space) as platform to re_link and activate a meaningful cohesive public space network. The project addresses this task by issuing basic implementation rules that should be followed by any available public space in preparation to be adapted by the community. A second part involves the application and re interpretation of the current legal rules applyed for future building void spaces. And nally provides a toolbox of possible intervention possibilities (in three different stages of development according to the public regard) that can be activated by the stakeholders directly related to the available void space, in order to create interventions that are needed DESIGN STUDIO - Thesis Project

The project evaluates the existing and future void spaces according to their Morphological, Socio_Cultural, Urban function and Accessibility values, in the search for an universal diagnose that can be adapted to different urban contexts, and simpli es the application method in order to provide the community self implementing tools (and facilities) under a locally ruled ‘Participatory Development’ Framework, where the void space is esentially seen as an opportunity for intervention that can be activated in any scale of in uence within the polygon de ned by the ruling urban formative powers.

“In the Delta Plan on Spatial Adaptation, it has been agreed that municipalities must act climate-proof in 2020 and (as best as possible) climate-proof in 2050. must be.”
IN DE GEBOUWDE OMGEVING The Netherlands | 2019
Due to an ongoing process of climate change, increased rain patterns, progressive oding and extreme draught are observed within the urbanscape, representing at the same time a progressive diminish of public infrastructure qualities. Together the so-called urban heath island effect and the possibility of ood take an important place in the agendas of all the institutions involved in urban development. Measures are being taken at various scales to prevent nuisance from water and heat in the built environment. Together the urban climate change effects, there are diverse other requirements the urbanscape needs to answer, placing the populated urban centers in an urgency to demand integral and efcient solutions to coop with the totality of urban functions. Then, Which other tasks are required to tackle and how do they relate to an adaptive climate change strategy? Are there other assignments that might have a signifcative impact on the built environment.
RESEARCH PROJECT - Publication
Commissioned the Ministry of the Interior and the National Adaptation Strategy we conduct a design study based into evaluating and testing the opportunities to connect the so identi ed various challenges within the built environment. In collaboration with Tauw Nederland, we developed ten smart combinations that were developed to implement and complement the climate adaptation strategy in six common neighborhood types in the Netherlands. The decision to implement these strategies into these neighbourhoods is that by underpining the local typology of the Dutch urbanscape it becomes more feasible to implement meaningful solutions and make visible the possibility to add/mix&match them into daily life. The formula utilized to crate this 10 ‘Koppelkansen’ (Join strategy opportunities) relies on these three premises:

[ FLITIGA MYRAM ] EUROPAN 15 | Entry
Enskoping, Sweden | 2019
How can the 20th century business area Myran evolve into a future-proof business area? How can it facilitate the transition from a linear to a circular economy? What architectural typology does this require? What instruments do we need to initiate the transformation from mono-functional businesses to a mixed use zone for working, living and leisure with a public infrastructure that stimulates users and visitors of Myran to walk or bicycle instead of taking the car? And can we make Myran an integral part of the lush park-like infrastructure of EnkĂśping? Current business processes are however subject to change: we are slowly moving from our current linear economy model (i.e. take, make, waste) towards a circular economy (i.e. make, use, return). The circular economy gradually decouples economic activity from the consumption of nite resources, and designing waste out of the system. The circular economy is based on three principles of a) designing out waste and pollution, b) keeping products and materials in use and c) regenerating natural systems. Furthermore, the model distinguishes between technical and biological cycles. Being the subject of our research DESIGN PROJECT - International Competition
the so-called Technical cycles, the ones which recover and restore products, components, and materials through strategies like reuse, repair, remanufacture or (in the last resort) recycling. The circular economy will have a considerably lower impact on the environment and has been mentioned as an important driver to reach the ambitious climate goals set by the Paris agreement. And the Swedish government has implemented legislation to favour this transition. Even though the concept of the circular economy is not new, there are hardly any examples of how the circular economy translates to a built environment. A real circular economy does not require businesses to make their own production cycle circular, it requires an ecosystem of businesses making use of each other’s ows of materials, water and energy. Thus, What type of urban spaces does this circular ecosystem require? What is the architecture of the circular economy? What are new typologies for businesses involved in the circular economy? In this project, we give the circular economy a face.
In our proposal, we have developed the instruments that are needed to initiate the transformation from mono-functional business to a mixed use zone for working, living and leisure with a public infrastructure while simultaneously enabling current and future businesses on the site to transform to circular business models. The four introduced instruments for this change area: I) a green connection to the city center, II) a railway zone, III) a transformation zone, and IV) a circular hub. The existing green network will be extended to create an attractive public space for pedestrian and bike traf c, which offers opportunities for interactions, while acting as water retention. In the railway zone, density will be increased with of ce and apartment blocks. In the transformation zone private owners can be incentivized to redevelop greener plots with work-housing combinations. On the municipality-owned land, we propose a new circular hub: a set of exible buildings offering space for material-based products and the creative industry, all connected through a market-/event square. Together these three elements form the foundation for future activities. OFFICE: BRIGHT -Urban Futures

[ RES NOORD HOLLAND ] REGIONAL ENERGIE STRATEGIE KATERNE GEBOUWDE OMGEVING
Noor Holland, The Netherlands | 2020
How can the built environment contribute to the aims of the Regional Energy Strategy (RES)? In order to be able to answer that question properly, it will be necessary to look into detail at the urban area. In the context of the RES, this study examines the possibilities to implement sun and wind energy within the city’s urbanscape. In simple terms, it evaluates a meaningfull energy harvest within the urban tissue, meaning we are dealing with large-scale production of solar energy in some areas at the same time we deal with a smaller scale of wind energy application. In order to frame this research by design we have divided the analysis into a number of reections: • Which urban functions and surfaces could become a platform and be part of the production of sustainable energy; • Which energy clusters and which interactions with the environment can nd place in the urban area; • How can the generation of sustainable energy for the urban area link to other strategic tasks?
RESEARCH PROJECT - Publication
To answer all these questions we de ned a set of building blocks that could be applyed in the different urban environments. These blocks need to be placed within the urbanscape, thus we proceed to explore which large surfaces in the city that have become monofunctional could address this need and underpin an energy production potential. The surfaces we de ned as relevant to test were: • Large ( at) roofs • Parking places and buildings • Footprint of Urban infrastructure • Urban water bodies • Outside storage • Brown elds or underused terrains As conclusion of this rst analysis, we found a set of relevant opportunity environments were to create an Strategic energy link within the urbanscape. Those opportunitites to tackle the different realities ocurrying together with the demand for new energy can be described as follows:
platforms, for example de ning a “piping” package for energy transition that will be replaced as soon as the street requires an upgrade, predened fossil fuel free energy networks, etc. 2. New construction Opportunity to set a new standard, a new basic. De ne protocols / laws that allows future energy infrastructure to install and transform in time within the built environment. 3. City edges An energy future also gives the oportunity to rethink the development of the peripheria applying any of the previous principles. 4. Alternative networks Giving space to develop satellite off grid urban systems and enhancing the energy harvest and exchange will demand the trace of new networks and energy transport systems. By planning stable sustainable energy centers and the relations between them it will be possible to de ne new future energy supply alternatives. Possibility of new multifunctional networks.

[ Package to the people ] CAST Out of the box Challenge Tilburg, Netherlands | 2020
Brabant has the ambition to build about 500 hectares of business parks in the coming years, which at the same time tend to be developed by anonymous investors. Is this amount of surface necessary? And who will ultimately benet from this? And is there no alternative? The large logistics box buildings along the highway are no longer to be imagined. There is even discussions about a ‘damnation of the landscape’. Could logistics interact closely with our living environment, and could that also lead to new spatial models?’ To get an answer to this, CAST, Center for Architecture and Urban Planning Tilburg et al., Organized the design challenge ‘Out of the Box’. Four design teams developed new perspectives on the logistics landscape, including team Bright, (together with Peter Hermens and Klasien van de Zandschulp) whom developed the ‘Package to the people’ concept, which looks into how parcel logistics can nd a place within the existing city.
COMPETITION - Selected Entry
PACKAGE TO THE PEOPLE Under this vision Bright came up with, in which it is explored how the package logistics can nd a place in the existing city, it is proposed that instead of the parcels being stored in big logistics centers in the middle of nowhere, that they are actually stored and distributed in a location as close as possible to the consumer by using (temporarily) unused urban space. What does this mean? Do citizens rent out the space they have and do we get Zalando attics and Coolblue cellars? Or will the residents of the neighborhood take matters into their own hands and is this the start of a more local neighborhood economy? Exactly that, a new micro logistic lanscape that weaves itself into the urban tissue, making the economy stronger, local and self-sustainable.

[ CROSSING BORDERS ]
IN THE NORTH WEST EUROPEAN MEGALOPOLIS 2014 Rotterdam Biennale : Urban by Nature |Brabant, Netherlands-Belgium | 2014 NL
The project deals with the ‘Cross Border’ actions at the political frontier between the Netherlands and Belgium. The project focuses on the Region of the Dutch province of Noord-Brabant and the Flemish Provinces of Antwerpen and Limburg where an understanding of the facts behind their diverging process is fundamental in developing a ‘cross border’ co_operative strategy. Is this how the main qualities identi ed within these liminal regions can be clustered into ve groups: Culture, Education, Environment, Production and Trade; and shape the preconditions for local competitiveness and at the same time for a complementary relationship between the areas included in a ‘common system’, performing by the different scale interactions of attractors and catalysts. Understanding the city as a natural ecology, the evolution and synergy concepts emerge as a common action point, where the Megalopolis takes shape as a conjunction of cities in the same system: A Larger City. So the main question moves to the de nition of ‘The Next Nature’: What is the following step on this line of evolution? How to interact with this system? And how to improve it. The research frames 8 localities in the region, which demonstrate a common multifunctional quality, within a fragmented system where every PROJECT Proposal 74 - IABR 2014

A nal analysis reveals the shape of this intended ‘New Megalopolis’, its rules as a whole and also the guidelines to promote interaction and commuting between its different components, a preview of the future evolution of a planning system and at the same time a new understanding of the border, not as a barrier line, but as a potential natural space which characteristics have not been dened yet : The border Megalopolis. In order to evaluate the potentialities of each city and their interactions we analyze the subsystems under the analogy of the electric conductors, which nally will reveal the weaving pattern for this new Urban Carpet. Finally an speci c strategy is developed for the conductor proposed between the cities of Eindhoven and Genk, creatign spaces for exchange and creation of complementary specialties in the area. For example: natural spaces for creative incubator start up placement, aiming for a cretivity ow in the need of shared technology.

Bruinisse, The Netherlands| 2015
Within the framework of the klimaat dialoog brunisse, the local governement was in search for a meaningful and interactive methode to involve the citizens into the re ection, implementation and disadvantages of a changing climate. By developing this game, it was sought to showcase the effects of individual and small scale actions in the privacy of each family household together with the power of community association in order to achieve more ef cient intitiatives and a strong community involvement. Over all, the main goals of this game are to educate, inform, raise awareness and inspire residents towards their role within developing a climate-proof living. At the same time it gives them tools to distinguish between climate adaptation and climate mitigation actions, evaluate costs towards the feasibility of proper implementation of changes and a deeper understanding of the spatial advantages of implementing integral climate-proof initiatives. The game actions developed for this project re ect on three possible outcomes of a changing climate: DESIGN PROJECT
• • •
The neighbourhood deals with extreme rain or ood. The neighbourhood deals with extreme heat. The neighbourhood deals with extreme drought.
The design of the game is design to touch as much as the personal ber from the player-citizens as possible, relying on the proper physical representation of their living environment and re ecting on daily climate-related issues they normally experience. Target audience: residents, companies, settings and governments involved in a concrete place. At the end of the game it is expected to make a round of evaluation, were all the players involved are called to re ect again over how effective were the actions taken during this exercise. Which actions got more points?, Was your area suf ciently climate-proof during the extreme weather conditions?, Have the living conditions improved? and nally, Are you inspired to do something at home?

Alto Hospicio, Chile | 2016
This project represents the winning entry of a public competition, called by he Ministry of housing and living and Service of housing and living of Chile in the region of Tarapacรก (MINVU), aiming to design a sustainable park neighbourhood in a squated extension of land at the commune of Alto Hospicio. This social housing project has been developed to answer a need for qualitative housing in the commune, and consequently as a rst approach for future developing neighbourhoods model. In order to achieve a positive impact in the future inhabitatants, the design looks to address the principles of sustainability and enhance identity through the inclusion of local nature referents. One of the tools chosen for this task is the recapture of the permanently fog present during the evening hours (characteristic of this coast desert weather) into water meant to fed the native ora located in the central space, as strategy for community engagement in a locally rooted landscape space. The project is diagrammed under the concept of a super-block, in order to strenght the interior public space and promote social exchange within the new vicinity.

[ VLAARDINGEN : INVERTED DELTA CITY ]
TECHNOLOGY AND WATER MANAGEMENT FOR URBAN PLANNING Vlaardingen, The Netherlands | 2014
The intervention proposes to change the paradigm about how the outer dike area is understood, considering that the area in direct contact with the water body should be a platform for leisure and the so considered safest place in a ooding context.
‘Main Central Public Space’ we provoke a cohesion between both sides of the river and a possible change in the future water management agenda, where the ‘Fear of the Water’ becomes an opportunity to experience a privileged position of urban exchange.
In order to create a space the community can start re_using, we rely in the concept of a ‘Super Boezem’, by adding a technical solution where an in atable dike is placed in the connection point of the Oude Maas and the Nieuwe Maas isolating the portion of water that might represent a risk for the population in the Vlaardingen, Schiedam and part of Rotterdam area in case of ooding. By re_implementing the water as the
Considering the existing infrastructure for water management in most of the Dutch cities, and the typological origin of the urban settlements, this project considers Vlaardingen as a Type case analysis prototype that can understand from the historical evolution, re_use the and re_think the water network systems and the possibility of bringing back the protagonism of a city based in its particular water relation characteristics.

In order to evaluate the accuracy of the intervention in time, and scenario analysis is performed, from which the worst case scenarios are considered for a final design. The parameters that are setting the matrix in this case, as relevant to define future scenarios, are Socio-Economical Growth (which is the aim the municipality is pursuing) and Climate Change (as a relevant factor for the implementation of water management strategies). From this analysis, we underpin the robust development, which will set the intervention guidelines, highlighting the interventions priorities that must be addressed in a joint case scenario.
STRATEGY .. Renaturalization of the waterfront .. Preserve qualities of water landscape [Nature, Biodiversity, Connectivity] .. Interlink Water Management and Development aims [Resilience] .. Recover existing cultural and heritage values in order to bring quality to the public space ..Relink the city with the region. Networking/Connectivity : Inner dike - Outer dike - Waterfront. .. Recognize the mixed value of the Dike space as a balance system between nature and human settlement. A main commuting point based in water. ..Restauration of the public character of the riverfront.

URBS IN HORTO - 2. GROWING WATERSCAPES IUAV|Venice, Italy | 2014
The workshop deals with the regeneration and recycling of the spaces of production in the central area of the Veneto Region. At a time of major economic and social change the “diffused city,” the territories of scattered settlements, small businesses and single-family houses are changing as well. About a quarter of the industrial warehouses in the Veneto region, are vacant, its inhabitants are aging, a new immigrant population aims to reuse this urban fabric. At the same time, the environmental and economic crises encourage ef cient multidisciplinary solutions to rede ne this new urban fabric. By connecting underused former industrial areas and underpinning local natural strengths Recycling City 3 has the objective to re_qualify and re_imagine innovative working and living platforms by rejoining the aims of a productive landscape and industrial equipment is possible to perform an exemplar intervention with new qualities. A new approach for the modern diffuse city. The group project focuses in the ‘Capo Sile’ area, a territory which struggles between a spread urban settlement, productive countryside and a highly variable water body.

tion proposes to re_stablish the original Sile river route to discharge in the lagoon (not directly to the sea as it is currently working), in order to create a natural re_shapping of the lagoon bed and a healthy sedimentation process that can arise a natural equilibrium and trigger complementary activities to housing settlements such as nature tourism, sh farming, hydroponic agriculture and water mobility networks. By implementing this strategy, we pursue to bring back the natural working systems to preserve the lagoon ecosystem and reinforce the local identity about urban life around-in between the ‘horto’ (‘Urbs in Horto’) and the productive landscape, giving ‘room to the river’ and allowing landscape to adapt for new industrial aims.

The vision of this proposal is built on, linkage, green and balance to steer the transformation potentials of existing qualities like nature values, cultural and historical heritage in the previous industrial area of the FIXFABRIEK in Gotheborg.
2 DAY WORKSHOP
sports centre is developed and the connection to the existing park is made. He temporary parks are not directly accessible but can be crossed over by nice bridges, also to show what is going on during the cleaning. The Fixfabriken and small shops and mixed functions located along Karl Johansgatan are placed and all supporting activities concentrate around the tram hall shaping the boulevard and public square. Stage four finalizes the tram hall, other construction sites and the improvement of the park.

Linkage is about situating the project area in a smart and productive way with the Klippan along the shore and the popular neighbourhood Masorah on the inner side. The green supports pedestrian and cycle routes combined with methods of gentle remediation of the polluted areas. Also a green connection to the inner-city is proposed. Balance is found in the programme by proposing housing for students, young profession-
als, urban families and high end and a balance between housing, commercial and public space. The interventions are planned in four stages, starting with excavating the contaminated and archaeological areas at the Fixfabriken site, investigating the pollution bus site, making better connections to surrounding neighbourhoods and making the green corridor towards the inner city. In stage two the bus site and the location of the torn down back side of the tram hall will be cleaned with gentle remediation, the proposed
WP1: Project management
The workshop targets on the development of a method for sustainability assessment of alternative land redevelopment strategies to evaluate and compare the ecological, economic and social impacts of land use change and remedial technologies. An holistic approach that supports sustainable urban renewal through the redevelopment of contaminated land and underused sites (brownfields), havign as a case study the Fixfabriek area.

LABO RUIMTE - STEDELIJK SYSTEEM KUST |Vlaanderen Kust, Belgium | 2017
LABO Ruimte is a laboratory for complex spatial issues. The analysis of global evolution trends such as population growth, migratory ows, climate change, declining biodiversity, the increasing land and energy consumption and the solutions we evaluate to tackle them represent a big socio-spatial impact. This laboratory looks to underpin the impact and potentials of the current situation and by creating a contextual test environment where the link between existing and future scenario its addressed through instrument proposal, policy making and urban development tools.
TYPOLOGY OF THE CASE STUDIES Source: Created by .FABRICATIONS
The proposed spatial transformation is based on six main themes: • Vital economy • Healthy life for humans and animals • Socio-cultural • Resilient systems • Circularity • Energy Transition In order to create a signi cant strategy, four case studies representative of the main problematics found in the Flemish coast were chosen:
