BEYOND THE ROCK 2019–20 | THE BERLAGE | COLLECTIVE THESIS PROJECT Gibraltar, a contested peninsula without natural resources, is currently confined by its boundaries. Together with eleven individual contributions, this collective project imagines Gibraltar in 2050 as an independent city-state that increases its global significance through flux and movement. Based on a reading of past and current practices in and around the peninsula, five propositions (1–5) anticipate Gibraltar’s future by speculating on political, infrastructural, economic, demographic, and environmental developments on a global, regional, and local scale.

As the maritime traffic through the strait intensifies and tourism in the region increases, Gibraltar becomes an economic and tourist magnet As the climate emergency unfolds, the region gets hotter, sea levels rise, and people are displaced. Gibraltar must reconsider the thresholds between the sea, the city, and the Upper Rock

NOMADIC NATURE(S) 2019–20 | THE BERLAGE | INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTION TO “BEYOND THE ROCK” Within the collective project “Beyond the Rock”, that imagines a future Gibraltar in flux, this individual contribution examines Gibraltar’s critical role in the global and local ecology. Its in-between condition— between Europe and Africa, and between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea—attracts a unique range of human and non-human species. In a context of climate change and projected population growth, Nomadic Nature(s) explores how global and local ecologies affect and are affected by human settlement and design.

Final Drawing
Though the architecture of the contemporary city is constructed chiefly for humans, here it is revised to accommodate a complication of the relation between the natural and the artificial; between human and non-human. As such, the city provides a landscape that is not defined by boundaries, subregions, and separations, but is formed by an ever-changing global ecology in which everything is connected, and of which the built environment is one part.

THE DATARIUM RES PUBLICA 2019 | THE BERLAGE | PROJECT GLOBAL | “SMART, SMARTER, SMARTEST” An existing masterplan for an “Innovation Park” in Buenos Aires covers only a small strip of land and thereby fails to consider its context. Within the theme of “the Smart City”, this collective counterproposal (re)connects the waterfront and delta to the existing urban fabric of Buenos Aires. The plan uncovers former rivers and expands the city’s energy and infrastructural grid towards the water. Six individual projects examine the meaning of “the Smart City” through six related themes: mobility, utility, storage, distribution, environment, and communication.

As the physical manifestation of digital communication and data collection, the data centre has become the architectural embodiment of contemporary Smart City culture. This project reimagines this traditionally private building type as an extension of the public sphere, exploring the tensions between data collection and privacy.

The route towards the data centre connects to cities across the river and to existing green areas in Buenos Aires, thereby completing a composition with the existing landmarks of the area Within the flat river landscape, the platform-tower acts like a beacon and introduces the new Innovation Park to the city; from the city, the visitor is directed towards the waterfront by an axis along a resurfaced river
Located at the waterfront border, the Datareum Res Publica uses the extended infrastructural grid of city and masterplan and Rio de la Plataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water for its functioning and cooling. The data centre is publicly accessible, opening up the possibility to observe the storage of data in the server racks.

AMSTERDAM ALLEGORIES 2018 | ALESSANDRA COVINI | WINNING ENTRY “PRIX DE ROME” COMPETITION Projected to become the new centre of Amsterdam, the area of Sixhaven is prone to high-density urban development and a loss of public space. This project imagines Sixhaven as an intense, rather than a dense space. “Amsterdam Allegories” transforms Sixhaven into a water-filled harbour sprinkled with twenty-one islands based on Amsterdam’s social and architectural history. In this new type of public space, leisure becomes (re)creation; an arena for action rather than passive consumption.

Twenty-one islands celebrate and reinterpret the histories and futures, places and architectures, in and around Amsterdam. Rather than being defined by their programme, the possibilities of actions born from encounters between humans, other animals, minerals, and plants characterise the islands. As they float across the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s various waters, they compose unexpected, poetic, or subversive effects with other figures of the landscape.

THE ARCHITECTURAL EMBRACE 2016–18 | TU DELFT | METHODS & ANALYSIS | MSC3/4 “POSITIONS IN PRACTICE” This project aims to build a metaphorical bridge between the socio-economical, political and architectural contradictions of Bogotá. As an alien object in the rigid urban grid, the monumental, circular construction ruptures the existing notions of what and who is valuable in the city. By exploring the role of architecture in challenging socio-political issues, the project criticises the past and current practices of neglect and disdain towards lower classes of society.

Bogotá’s contradictions are particularly striking at the junction of four building blocks in the area of “Los Mártires”, a low-income labour neighbourhood close to the city centre: 1) 2) 3) 4)
A dominant, introverted Military Batallion used for the recruitment of the national army Plaza Los Mártires: an empty square commemorating the martyrs of the Colombian Independence Basílica del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús: a highly regarded Catholic church, a place of worship El Bronx: a former wealthy dwelling area, now a hotbed of crime overcome by neglect and decay, which is about to be demolished.

^^^ Concrete portals, showing the rubble of the demolished buildings, frame the overview of the new public space and the city ^^ Upon entering the polycarbonate stairwells, the surroundings become shadows, and the chaos of the city an abstraction ^ At night, the ring illuminates the plaza, while a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;roofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of hanging concrete beams makes the user subject to the weather
Aiming for a new perception of the socio-political and architectural context, a circular, concrete structure breaks with the rigid urban grid. A vast public space inside hides the chaos and hierarchies of the surrounding city. The composition and materialisation confront and distort the surroundings, and create unexpected encounters with the three monuments. Rather than embodying a specific narrative determined by existing (top-down) power systems, The Architectural Embrace redefines the architectural monument as a place to be used, interpreted, and appropriated.

THE GATEKEEPER 2020 | ONE-WEEK SUMMER SCHOOL | “AGAINST THE SMOOTH CITY” After years of isolation, the semi-peninsula of Katendrecht is rapidly gentrifying. Its wealthy northern neighbour, Kop van Zuid, is colonising the area with a dominant and one-sided narrative at the expense of the actual and complex history. This situation is identified as a symptom of the smooth city, in which narratives and spaces are simplified and scripted to form a streamlined version of urban life. In the unclaimed, in-between space, an unfinished bridge questions the right to claim the space. By challenging the user’s spatial and bodily expectations, the spatial gesture is scripted, yet interpretable; designed, yet unsmooth.

AUTUMN ADRIFT 2018 | TWO–WEEK MASTERCLASS LED BY HIDEYUKI NAKAYAMA | “AUTUMN LEAVES” This two-week masterclass explores how natural phenomena can be the starting point for architectural design. In this project, spiral staircases support a balancing act for the found autumn leaves. The designs correspond to the leaves’ ‘found architectures’: their shape, structure, and textures. Like an insect, the user is surrounded by the slowly moving leaf. As such, an ever-changing encounter between the user and the interior’s shapes and vibrant colours arises.
