As a collective of 8 students, preliminary research into Amsterdam Centraal was undertaken by mapping data of aspects ranging from transportation, land prices and zoning, public space, amenities, historical significance.

These developed formative conclusions that informed subsequent individual researches dealing with issues specific to Centraal, such as water, tourism, the role of industry, future mobility, gentrification and housing. These indiviudal researches and conclusions led to the development of interventions from each student that were situated within the squares of the grid to the left. Together, these determined the group strategy for what Amsterdam Centraal is envisioned to be in 2050.

the rise of the monofunctional city Amsterdam has a long history of diversity and inclusivity in social issues and policy. One example is the housing market, where there has been a long-held attitude of ensuring all Dutch citizens can access adequate and affordable housing. Yet this attitude has been recently eroded, with changes in policies favouring a more liberalised housing market model.

This has coincided at a time when Amsterdam has been pursuing its ambitions on attracting global knowledge talent. Central Amsterdam has become a hotbed for both those who are highly educated, as well as where a great proportion of expats reside. Yet these global ambitions and the liberalisation of the housing market have come at a cost, with gentrification taking over old working-class neighbourhoods like the Jordaan, whilst new neighbourhoods like Overhoeks are monofunctional enclaves of luxury condominiums.

The city is becoming a series of branded and disconnected pieces, fragmenting the population from each other - between the haves and the have nots. The central role that diversity has played in Amsterdamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long history is under threat.

parking infrastructure as densifier A key strategy point was to further densify the finegrained and historic city centre. It is also expected that the city centre will be car-free by 2050. As existing parking infrastructure is located in the public realm, it presented not only a potential solution to densification, but also in grappling with the problem of increasingly monofunctional areas by interrogating life on the street. 3 types of parking were identified; curb-side parking, street mid-sections, and canal-side parking. These were assessed for their spatial opportunities as a total footprint, as well as by taking the 2400mm width of the single parking spot and overlaying this width as a series of strips (the dashed red boxes on the left). These demonstrate how this land could be subdivided. In conjunction to this, programmatic studies were carried out based on what can fit in parking spot profiles. An array of activities were studied under three main themes of living, working and leisure. PARKING INFRASTRUCTURE IN CENTRAL AMSTERDAM

implementing the prototype In order to test how parking infrastructure can become a system that revises life on the street, a prototype will be tested. This model could then be spread around the city as a means to densify and revitalise.

A M ST E R D A M C E N T R A A L ST R AT E G Y

The strategy locates an area with enclaving symptoms. The building aims to break the prevalent monofunctional activation cycles, encourage a more diverse population, and ensure the building is open to the street. Thus, the building hopes to slow the spread of monofunctionalism. The Jordaan is a good case site for the prototype as it has undergone extensive transformations over the last decades, from a working class neighbourhood to one that is highly trendy and filled with high-income earners.

The location of the prototype is situated on a midsection parking strip on the Lindengracht, a contextually sensitive street with its iconic constellation of buildings. The ground plane must allow for varied movement. The width of the old parking mid-section has been reorganised in a way where it is composed of 5 strips of 2.4m. The central strip is the building footprint zone, the subsequent strips on either side are pathways, and the outer two strips contain a series of public ‘furniture’.

Activities in the building section strip are public, or encourage interaction if private. The street already has an established ritual of a Saturday market that takes over the parking strip, these rituals to be preserved when the building is inserted. Market stalls that are an equivalent size of a single parking spot can be placed running along each perimeter of the mid-section. On non-market days, life on the street is encouraged with small-scale furnitures that reflect the parking spot dimensions. These insertions include elements such as picnic tables, seating, play equipment, ponds, gardens. Some of these are retractable, following the legacy of the urinals that rise up and down in Amsterdam for weekends. This allows for space to be less formalised, and flexible for spontaneous activities during the week.

VERTICAL EXPLORATIONS Movement throughout the structure aims to encourage exploratory behaviours. Vertical movement is carried out through a combination of two elements; first are larger lift cores that connect with all levels of the structure and are focused on efficiency. Second are smaller ‘jump-ups’ that are onestorey mini lifts scattered throughout. These allow for increased flexibility and exploratory movement. Horizontal movement intends to avoid monumental galleries, instead favouring a pathway that moves back and forth on both sides of the facade. Not only does this alleviate the facade being composed of heavy horizontal lines, but allows residents and visitors to better engage with the various living, working and leisure programs. The building’s footprint of internal programs and exterior facade layers must be contained within this fixed 2.4m width dimension. The only exceptions are the walkways which extend out by 0.9m on each side.

A CONSTANTLY GROWING AND FLEXIBLE SYSTEM The building operates as a series of modules that each build up over time, as well as connect to each other.

Programs can move or change based on the altering needs and proposals of the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occupants and wider community over time. Yet it also needs managing by an independent body to ensure there is an adequate mix of programs and not dominated by only a few.

Each module operates as a self-contained unit that has its own services core, method of movement, and ensuring there is a relatievely equal distribution of living, working and leisure programs to reduce any implications of monofunctionalism. A D A PTA B ILITY

CHANGING FACADES FOR CHANGING INTERIORS The facade works as an extension to the logic of the programmatic buildup and changes. It also is composed of highly durable materials with a thin profile that can be relocated to other parts of the building if required.

It works with the textures of the area of brick, copper, and terracotta tiles. It is a durable and thin material, with the sheeting detailed so that it can be separated from the main structure and thus can be easily moved.

Contextual sensitivity is requisite in the prototype’s location. Therefore the palate of the Jordaan was studied, and copper becoming the cladding material.

The material acts as a time-stamp with its changing tones and colours as it rusts over time. The traces of the building’s history become clearly visible.

A CASE BY CASE BASIS As the prototype is in a culturally sensitive area, it needed to formally and materially negotiate these issues. Yet this does not need to be the case everywhere. Each location has unique issues they face and thus has the ability for different compositions or priorities. The system allows for flexible adaptability that is more site-specific, in relation to both materialisation and program. When carrying out a schematic application of the building system in three locations in Amsterdam, it can be suggested how each site can give the structure a different focus based on the qualities emitted by various materials. This is extended to program as well. Whilst structures should have a good mix of living, working and leisure functions, areas will have their priorities for activation. This could be community congregator activities such as in the residentially-focused Overhoeks, or on bringing in a more permanent population via housing in the industrial Noord.

benefits OF A SLIMLINE SECTION Maintaining a thin cross-sectional profile to the building presents several advantages. The main structural system uses steel HSS columns of 120mm x 120mm profiles, and are spaced every 2400mm. This allows for solid openings between columns whilst not making the structure seem heavy and overbearing. The structural system can also be easily adaptive and additive over time as required.

roof detail

The structure and slender facade components all fit within a 200mm width dimension, which ensures the interior spaces can maintain a width of 2000mm and thus amplifies this width to its full potential. Glazing is also full-height to ensure maximised natural lighting. The thin sectional profile allows for straightforward passive cross-ventilation to be carried out, whilst green roofs are placed as often as permissible to help filter rainfall down through the structure and be collected and recycled throughout building. Heating and cooling loads are also collected and recycled.

shifting typologies In relation to the residence blocks, apartment typologies aimed to capture these driving themes of the precincts of shared activities namely notions of informal versus formal, levels of surveillance, flexibility versus rigidity, externalised versus internalised. By providing these varying apartment combinations, and with different provisions of bedrooms from 1-bed to 3-bed scenarios, this encouraged a diversity in the residential population based on users being attracted to different apartment layouts.

apartment typologies

a multilayered precinct porous pathways In order to better connect to the neighbourhood and facilitate exploration and interactions between residents and the wider community, a series of fine-grained routes and a main street were implemented. These pathways would plug into the various precincts. The diagram on the left provides an explanation of the precincts, their footprints and relation to each other, and the specific activities implemented to develop a particular atmosphere. working together Apartment arrangements helped to support these atmospheres of each precinct. Apartment masses and typological selections would be selected based on; 1. Themes of surveillance, either active or passive 2. Intregrating apartment blocks into the activities occurring around them, or be disconnected 3. If it was desired to internalise a precinct from its surroundings and create a more formal environment One example is the precinct centred an intimate labyrinthian garden. The apartment masses were organised in a way that reinforced the intimacy of the garden by blocking or separating pockets of space from others. Passive surveillance was also encouraged as it could allow for casual observation from various sides and encourage the tranquility of the park.

Timber was selected as the facade material in order to provide a sense of warmth to the project, and make the structures seem inviting to the broader community. One material was chosen to give the project a sense of cohesiveness and rationality despite the many different layers of activities and housing incorporated. It also allowed for subtle differences to be carried out, based on the various treatments of timber and the subsequent qualities gained. This allowed for different precincts to have more localised environments based on the treatments used in the precinct. The shutters also allowed for freedom of control for inhabitants, allowing for shifts between full exposure, partial shading, to full shading. Some made use of folding shutter systems, others had sliding screens, and others were placed with external blinds. These facade elements would be placed off of the load-bearing structure, making it straightforward to adapt these over time.

unpredictable care Care is a sector that is witnessing rapid changes. Reform, market forces, changing demand for care and also shifting target groups means that healthcare institutions need to be more dynamic and flexible with their real estate portfolio in order to adequately meet these new demands. Yet as a consequence to this situation in flux, it means these institutions also struggle to receive financing for development plans. ThuisCare therefore targets the medium term, providing high-quality, sustainable, modular care homes that can be leased by healthcare institutions. These can be in addition to, or instead of, existing real estate of the institution. Thus there are low development costs and eliminates the risk of large-scale long-term construction projects. The homes can be placed within the space of a few weeks, and can be continually reused and readapted based on the changing needs of different occupants. Yet the high quality, durable materials also allows for the homes to become a permanent solution if appropriate. Due to the modular method of development, they can be developed in any size, and can be built onto or added together over time. This gives healthcare institutions great flexibility, and the ability to respond quickly and effectively to evolving market forces and demand.

BASE MODULES A series of simple modules were developed, ranging in the size of their footprints as well as their overall form. These build up from an individual unit containing basic essentials for living - sleeping and bath - towards increasing storage and living space. To ensure improved livability, each option aims for light to be brought in as much as possible whilst still ensuring the functionality of the interiors is retained.

poor performance The current facade of the Pathe Cinema in Rotterdam is an enclosed box that makes poor use of the natural advantages of the site, whilst also encouraging numerous inefficiencies internally to occur. The majority of the building's spaces are completely sealed and enclosed, causing a heavy reliance on artifical systems to maintain an appropriate level of comfort. Due to its positioning on a public square, the site receives plentiful quantities of direct solar access along its eastern and southern aspects. Yet this advantage is unused, both as a source for natural lighting, as well as for potential energy collection. There are also few points to bring natural ventilation into the building, suggesting there is a reliance on mechanical systems to manage the internal conditions.

INTRODUCTION

The facade of the Pathe cinema at Rotterdam in its current configuration is making poor use of the natural advantages that the site lends itself towards providing.

KIEFER TECHNIC SHOW ROOM | ERNST GISELBRE Use of moveable louvre panels that move in the vert

The current system keeps the majority of the building's internal spaces completely sealed and enclosed, which could subsequentially be leading to several inefficiencies in relation to the building’s energy use and its reliance on artifical systems to maintain an appropriate level of comfort. These ineffeciencies could be resolved through the development of a multi-layered system that is more responsive to its environment and thus takes advantage of the potentialities of the site.

THE FOUR SYSTEMS;

Due to its positioning on the edge of a public square, the site receives plentiful quantities of direct solar access along its eastern and southern aspects. The current facade does little to take advantage of this, neither using it for natural lighting of the internal lobby nor capturing it as a source of energy. There are also few opportunities to bring natural ventilation into the building, again suggesting that there is a reliance on mechanical systems to manage the internal conditions.

1. CURTAIN WALL AND WINDOW PENETRATIONS 2. SANDWICH PANEL 3. MOVEABLE SHADING SCREENS 4. FIXED SHADING SCREENS COMBINED WITH INTECO ‘ENERGIEHAAG’ SYSTEM

Although the cinema halls do require a high level of control over their internal environments, there are certainly methods that can allow for increased usage of passive systems in communal areas like the lobby as well as the office spaces. Relative levels of comfort in these spaces can be a little more fluid compared to the cinema halls, and providing means in which comfort can be better controlled via passive options will assist in reducing the need for mechanical systems in these areas. The proposed system operates as a double facade that aims to utilise layering of the skin to provide flexibility as to how the facade can be operated. A focus has been placed on passive ventilation and solar generation strategies to reduce the reliance on mechanical lighting and ventilation systems, especially in relation to the lobby areas and office spapces. The proposed system will also aim to take advantage of the external site environmental conditions to begin generating more sustainable ways of running the internal loads required.

1. Curtain wall and window penetrations FIXED MESH SCREEN AND INTECO ‘ENERGIEHAAG’ SYSTEM BEHIND

STRUCTURAL EFFICIENCIES The curtain wall and sandwich panelling systems used for the project have been selected due to the efficiencies they provide during the construction process whilst also performing over their required life cycle. Kwaneer's 1600 SS curtain wall system focuses upon the ability for improved pre-fabrication that in turn will assist in lowering construction costs. The system utilises screw spline joinery which allows for larger segments of the curtain wall to be pre-assembled, joint sealed as well as delivery to and installation on the site. This system also allows for the integration of operable ventilation windows that sit flush into the curtain wall and swing out from the casement. For moments on the facade whereby glazing is not required, and to therefore minimise unnecessary heat loads, a system using the BENCHMARK Evolution Recess sandwich panel developed by Kingspan will be used. These have been selected as they offer simple integration into the curtain wall system, as well as to the structural SHS steel columns,.

IMPROVED VENTILATION

INTECO ‘ENERGIEHAAG’ SYSTEM FROM INTERNAL

They also quicken the construction time with a pre-engineered, single component, single-fix installation whilst maintaining lifetime insulation continuity, thermal performance and airtightness. ENERGY EFFICIENCIES The static, fixed mesh screens serve a dual purpose of assisting in diffusing direct light into the building but also they work in an active manner to help manage the internal heating and cooling loads of the cinemas. This is achieved through the utilisation of the Inteco ‘Energiehaag’ system, whereby an outer layer of mesh is backed by coils that collect convective manner heat. This extracted heat is then taken to a heat pump where it can then be sent into internal spaces at a higher level. As the heat pump can be reversed to act like a chiller, it can assist in cooling spaces during warmer months. For this particular project, the heat pump is to be placed on the roof.

WESTERN FACADE INDIRECT LIGHT ACCESS

The previous structure has been noted as being quite an enclosed structure that utilised little glazing. This project aims to strategically use glazing by viewing it as an opportunity to better provide natural lighting to areas that have need for it - these areas being the lobby and office spaces. The curtain wall is a light structure that can span large heights, and as such it will operate as the main force providing natural light into these areas. It will provide better quality daylight into the building and aim to reduce the demand for artifical lighting in these spaces.

This system is more desirable in environments such as the Netherlands where direct sunshine hours are more limited, which in turn lower the effectiveness of PV systems. It also has the advantage of not needing to be located purely on exposed orientations.

The proposed system operates as a double facade that aims to utilise layering of the skin to provide flexibility as to how the facade can be operated. A focus has been placed on passive ventilation and solar generation strategies to reduce the reliance on mechanical lighting and ventilation systems, especially in relation to the lobby areas and office spapces. The proposed system will also aim to take advantage of the external site environmental conditions to begin generating more sustainable ways of running the internal loads required.
