Introduction & Agenda This travelling thesis was a two-way exchange between two contrasting metropolises: Melbourne, a sprawling monocentric city and South Holland (the Southern Randstad), a polycentric urban region comprising Rotterdam, Delft, the Hague and Leiden.

The themes that initially intrigued me to overlay on the brief was what is unique about Australia? what do we have that they (the dutch) don’t? and how could it benefit their already successful high density environment. Our architectural identity is made up from a collection of predominantly British and European imports. We as Australian designers always look outside our own country for inspiration. This was instantly evident in our first studio class, where everyone made the assumption that the thesis investigation would be about how “dutch thinking� could benefit Melbourne.

Throughout this thesis investigation there are two main themes. Blue - the personal, experiential and qualitative information. Yellow - Others ideas and influencers, quantitative data and the larger urban and architectural discourse.

Hypothesis

Doe Normaal “Just be normal already” Today in the 21st century, the world has become so cultivated, inevitably through this cultivation process certain human values have been given precedence and credence. The Netherlands is a country that exemplifies this, where order is put over disorder, logic over intuition and stability over change. The dutch expression “Doe Normaal” which translates to “just be normal” demonstrates their rigid cultural expectations of social conventions. According to lifestyle magazine Monocle one of their main issues is a lack of diversity in urban fabric and program. This has lead to significant social issues where minority groups are excluded, a large portion unable to complete education and get jobs. Spangen, an economically deprived neighbourhood is located in west Rotterdam and is considered to be one of the poorest in Netherlands. The urban area is infamous as a “no-go” zone from the early 1990’s when there was a high level of heroin use, prostitution and violence. Current day Spangen has moved beyond its old perception with numerous residential and renovation projects undertaken which have attracted many new inhabitants, mostly young families. Therefore Spangen has a high youth population however there is a lack of energy and happiness due to the urban area having an underutilised public realm caused through social and cultural tension among minority groups which make up over 70% of the population. How can capricious architecture and program be inserted into Spangen to enliven the neighbourhood and alleviate social tensions, creating an environment where a diverse range of people can connect with one another?

Case Studies & Precedents Throughout the semester many local and dutch case studies were undertaken analysing both the successful and failed elements of some well known and not so well known urban and architectural projects.

I started the semester looking at Michiel Brinkmann’s perimeter block Justus Van Effenstraat which is located in Spangen (Rotterdam) and through coincidence ended up being my site for the final design response. The Uniform block has central units that form two interior courtyards. Brinkman creates an urban element by having two blocks relationship form into one, enabling access from all sides and acting as a hub. The above ground level maisonettes are able to have personal entrances through a walkway strip that was one of the first “streets in the air�. The window size and sill heights were designed to maximise natural lighting, ventilation and access to solar heat. The exterior facade is uniform and bland framing important access paths. Compared to the interior which has three elements to eliminate monotony, entrance halls on ground level, balconies on first floor and continuous deck on second floor.

Melbourne

Project Name:

Simpson Street Apartments

Architects:

Baracco + Wright Architects

Location:

Northcote, Melbourne

Completed: 2006 Typology:

Shophouse Apartment

Two two-bedroom apartments and one studio apartment straddle the two shopfront buildings on the first floor. The apartments are wedge-shaped in both section and elevation with the highest part pointing away from the street, yet they sit behind the existing brick parapet in order to preserve the existing shopfronts. Simple pergolas complete the form through the front and rear. Clad in a single material, the forms sit foreign yet quietly above the jumbled shopfronts. The narrow plans are arranged so that each apartment is bookended and separated by external deck spaces, resulting in the living room facing the courtyard for its entire length rather than just on one side. Understated in its street elevation, this project explores a new hybridisation of a shophouse and apartment typology.

>> High density, low rise dwelling, 100 dwellings per hectare >> 30-50% internal voids in every dwelling >> All dwellings designed individually by different architects and designers

South Holland

Project Name: Borneo Architects:

West8 and various architects

Location:

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Completed: 1996 Typology:

Townhouses

The Masterplan for the Borneo Project by West 8 reinterpreted the traditional Dutch canal house by exploring low rise family terraces within a high density environment using a framework to provoke innovative dwellings within the boundaries of the ‘terrace’ typology’. Various architects independently designed each dwelling using a design code which dictated building height, plot width, materials and access. A unique feature to the project is its implementation of the requirement for 30-50% of the plot being used as a void, allowing natural ventilation, daylighting and outdoor space within a high density residential development.

>> Common outdoor space that feels private >> Axial rotation of apartments >> Height + setbacks sympathetic to street context

Melbourne

Project Name:

32 Kerr Street

Architects:

NMBW Architects

Location:

Fitzroy, Melbourne

Completed: 2010 Typology:

Hybrid Townhouse Block

This apartment block consists of seven spacious townhouses, two or three stories high. The ground floor consists of glass-fronted garages that could be adapted into showrooms or retail. In this the design allows for a less car-dependent future, and a potential for live-work situations. Between these garages, a six-metre wide arcade runs from front to back, allowing for both vehicles and pedestrians. The private entrances to each apartment are from the garages, providing instances where residents can interact with one another in common space. From each garage the apartments are designed with a north-south orientation, meaning each one is equal in outlook, view and cross-ventilation. The land of 32 Kerr Street was formerly a one-storey brick warehouse. The owner, who owned and operated a car muffler company approached the architects to develop the land into townhouses. He has personally customised the functional and ornamental steel components for the building. n 0

Project Name: Funenpark Architects:

de Architekten Cie, Geurts + Schulze, Claus + Kaan, DKV, Lafour + Wijk, Van Sambeek + van Veen, Dick van Gameren, KuperCompagnons

Location:

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Completed: 2012 Typology:

Combination of (Courtyard Perimeter Block, & Urban Villa)

Funenpark project is a concept that expressed 4 components: “Funenpark” as open space component, “Het Funen” as the pearl of 16 urban villas in the middle of courtyard typology, “Sporenboog” (curving arc), is the curving slab along the east side, and “Cruquiustkade”, is the southern slab of the development. These development have been designed by Frits van Dongen (Architekten Cie) as an urban designer and several different architect who designed the building. The concept from urban design perspective of creating perimeter block surrounding the courtyard is to reduce the noise pollution from the railway and highway. Furthermore, in the inside of the perimeter block, Dongen set a pattern to emphasize the open space, so people can still experience urban place between apartment building. Moreover, the architect used a special laminated glass to deflect the sound away from the building. The combination between urban design aspect and architecture aspect, can create harmony for the user.

Precedent Parc de la Villette competition OMA Congestion is important to Koolhaas because it describes the contemporary metropolitan lifestyle. Urban activities are unstable, uncertain, they overlap and mutate. Therefore to provide potential space for ever changing and unprecedented activities Koolhaas strategy is to “combine architectural specificity with programmatic indeterminacy.� By juxtaposing and superimposing different layers of the composition,programs exchange and extend creating a horizontal congestion.

Precedent Didden Village MVRDV This rooftop house extension was the first project MVRDV realised in its hometown of Rotterdam. Situated on top of an existing monumental house , the bedrooms are conceived as separate houses, optimizing the privacy of every member of the family. The houses are distributed in such a way that a series of plazas, streets and alleys appear as a mini-village on top of the buildings.

Findings/What I learnt Unconventional and experimental design and how parasitic design can address opportunistic urbanism as a concept

Elegance and refinement, contrast in light and heavy through materiality. A respect for structural expression

Simplicity equals beauty. Also cheap! Looking at water as a material and a habitable medium. Building a pavilion that doesn’t sit on land and pushes the boundaries of what is architecture How a community centre can attract people through its immediate landscaping

Structural refinement and flexibility. Active shading.

Form gesture and roof design

Workshops & Guests The exposure to local and overseas workshops with a diverse variety of guest lectures ensured that the thesis investigation became more multilayered and thorough than your typical design studio. The “think tank�Deltametropolis Association and TU Delft proved highly useful to establish a well considered and realistic site brief for each of us.

Deltametropolis which is based in Rotterdam undertook a research project called the Atlas Zuidelijke Randstad, it aims to encourage redevelopment of underutilised sites within South Holland. Our thesis site selection was based on this research, it acts as a guide for how our strategies can link in to address at a larger scale.

The all day workshops at TU Delft for me personally were the most useful as we got to work through initial responses with local urbanists and other architecture students from around Europe. The workshops were broken into four components with a focus each day. Workshop 1 = Design/Urbanism Workshop 2 = Development and Finance Workshop 3 = Community / Livability Workshop 4 = Government / Planning

Output

“The odd things that don’t fall into a category are often the things that stick in our minds the longest” - Thinking about architecture through the experiential scale but tieing it back to the larger issues at play

Urban design and architecture must take/make/give space physically as well as mentally - Retrofit existing unused spaces to helpful program that assists the less fortunate. -Architecture needs to not just cater for the top 10%

“Interface determines livability of street” - use additions for maximum external effect -Design spaces that you personally are enthused by - Sense of arrival is crucial

Netherlands Experience

The two and half weeks in Netherlands started in Amsterdam with a cycling field trip where we visited some of the case studies we had previously done in Melbourne and many other exemplary projects.

Most of our time was spent in Rotterdam as that’s where we based ourselves and proved to be easy and quick to travel to places like Delft from there. In Rotterdam we visited the respected firms KCAP and MVRDV gaining a fresh insight into the way they handle large scale projects. No day was ever the same, every day was a unique and unpredictable experience as there was always a lot variables changing e.g different locations/instructors, other students joining in and topic changes. Deltametropolis was a focal point with lectures and our Mid Semester presentations being undertaken there. It was great to make the connection to the place we were first introduced to in our first class via skype with Dan and Annastasia. A large focus of our time was collectively visiting the atlas sites that the class had been allocated and then selecting the one which worked best with our hypothesis. A critical part of my experience was through a workshop with Marieke Hillen getting put in touch with Ninny Duarte a local of my selected site Spangen. I and another student undertook a four hour tour of Spangen with her and did an interview. 33

05 The Site

Spangen is one of the poorest urban neighborhoods in Rotterdam and therefore the whole of Netherlands. Many of its inhabitants are migrants with diverse backgrounds who have extremely low incomes. The area used to be known in the 1990’s as a “no go� place due to drug dealing, prostitution and violence.

Spangen is located in west Rotterdam sandwiched between a number of infrastructural barriers. It is split into upper and lower districts by a dike and due to the low altitude, the area has an isolated impression. The Urban design by Pieter Verhagen provided strict control of the issuance of the building blocks and architectural quality. Rigid rules - including building lines, ridge heights, the length of building blocks. Diagonal streets have schools and playgrounds. The area is also well known for its trial and error initiatives to change through introducing Kluzhizan and Wallisblok projects. Which was basically a ploy by the government to get new people into the area hoping they would fix it. Run down apartments in perimeter blocks were sold off for 1 euro and the new owners given a licence to retrofit however they wanted.

Souless Spangen The year is 2040, the hottest year on record. Spangen basks in the sun but there is no neighborhood activity to witness it. No children playing, no sound of bicycles or vehicles, the only sound that can be heard is the occasional splatter and clatter of rubbish being emptied onto the footpaths from the above windows. Spangen has been through a lot since 2016. First there were the floods in 2020 that stifled any momentum of progress that the neighborhood was experiencing through some young energetic kick starters. Small local specific businesses that had just got on their feet suffered enormous losses and wreckage due to having their shops located at ground level and not enough preventable measures for a flood. Unfortunately another tragedy that occurred was the loss of life of many elderly people who were unable to evacuate on time and were the most vulnerable due to only a few years previously being relocated to ground levels to save on lift access costs. Then there was the 2030 terrorist attack on Rotterdam Centraal that obliterated the city’s soul and pride and was the last straw in dividing the population. Muslim citizens now fear for their safety with many relocating to Spangen as their last refuge. Majority of elderly have now moved further out of the city to territory they believe to be safer from flooding. Other minority groups in Spangen are annoyed about the influx of Muslims as they feel the neighborhood character has changed due to a shift in social dynamics and schools. Ratti a Sudanese woman says her kids now feel left out at school as most of the class is Muslim including the teachers. She also laments how the parents no longer have a social life with other parents as all the Turkish Muslim woman stay indoors for safety out of fear.

CRITICAL WRITTEN ARTICLE

Buildings in 2040 Spangen are dilapidated the lower levels never properly repaired from flood damage, window frames are rotting, creating large air leakages. The right-wing government has ceased investing money or resources into the neighborhood, actively going out of their way to make Muslims feel unwelcome in “their” country. Many violent atrocities have been committed on locals over the recent years from an increasingly and ever growing rabid Sparta fan squad. Violent gangs and hooligans have grown emboldened by the lack repercussions from the justice system. The disconnect among Spangen residents even extends to among the muslim population itself. Wealthy Muslim Shiites have moved into the Klushuizen and Wallisblok projects when the old residents fled for more welcoming neighborhoods However majority of Musilims in Spangen are Sunnies who shun and envy the richer Shiites. It is too risky for children in 2040 Spangen to play outside, as bullying among the minorities has occurred frequently further segregating families. The kids are cooped up inside whether it is at school or home and hence an over excess in energy is interfering with their learning and sleep. Spangen’s streets and open space echo with emptiness, all potential life and energy locked away in monotonous blocks. Souless Spangen silently screams.

06 Process Work

The initial design response to Spangen was instigated directly after meeting with and interviewing Ninny Duarte.

The process work reflects my agenda for the Spangen neighborhood which is to connect a diverse range of people curating moments that enliven the area and demographic specific program that encourages higher utilisation of existing spaces. The idea of determinancy vs interdeterminancy is really important to the Urban strategy. Interventions are not physically connected and some like the toy van are flexible moving to different locations to encourage higher utilisation of open space by children.

For the early stages of design, interventions ranged from cheap and feasible to more out there concepts, like underpasses through perimeter blocks and gridshell structures sheltering private open space. The medium of collages/montages has been heavily relied on as it defies the rigid urban and architectural methodology which is partially to blame for the issues facing Spangen. My process of working has been very much “in the moment�. I’ve tried to let go of all the baggage that plagues designers to bring a creative freshness, taking on the perspective of a child as they are my main target group for the success of the design. 59

Final Proposal My role is a mediator and artist curating moments for engagement to happen through food.

The final collation of work demonstrates the strategy’s success at addressing multilayered issues throughout various scales. For the most part the initial interventions are small and affordable but have enormous potential at instigating a ripple effect of change through the Spangen neighborhood and re-branding it as an art destination and a welcoming place for children to grow up in.

One of the trickier things to resolve in the urban strategy has been the engagement between the locals and the public particularly Sparta football fans. Some critiques throughout the semester have encouraged separation and others interaction. The strategy proposes a local and public route which meet on the fringes of each route respectively. These engagement points are programmed as a kebab and Ice cream store. So the neighborhood benefits economically from the football matches but also the program gets highly used when there’s no match scheduled as it’s demographically appropriate. These are located on corner points with parasitic dwellings providing natural surveillance and helping re-brand the neighborhood to the public. 89

08 Conclusion

This proposal “Food for the mouth, mind and soul� prevents Spangen from being an underutilised, socially alienated and essentially a souless place. The community kitchen becomes the beating heart of Spangen, pumping hope and life throughout the neighborhood. It allows for people from diverse backgrounds to connect over food and teach and learn from one another. The instigation of parasitic dwellings brings in new people and life, creating a higher density and addressing South Holland’s future housing demands. A planning regulation ensures that each new Parasitic building needs to accommodate for two dwellings. Where locals that have been displaced can move into and rent. The parasitic dwellings help to re-brand Spangen. The toy van and Ice cream store become hugely popular bringing kids out of their homes and connecting parents. The art display and large chess board get a lot of tourist attention being situated out the front of Spangen quarter. Many Turkish fathers take their children to play chess and have started engaging and interacting with the more well off tenants living in the famous perimeter block. These tenants, many of them architects are well connected in South Holland and are now spreading good words about what a changed place Spangen has become.
