During my third year, I had my first internship at West 8. I worked one day a week on a research project about nature inclusive building, here I discovered my fascination for greening the cities. Besides my own research about nature inclusive building, I also have learned a lot about making plans and theme shemes and maps to explain your plan.

I worked with AutoCAD to change the parking spaces in the plan. I also learned a lot about how to explain a plan to a client using diagrams and theme maps. Some of the themes I worked on are the parking solutions, they wanted parking as much as possible out of the way of the street. The apartments have underground parking and the houses have storage spaces or shared parking. The balconies and front gardens were also very important for the streetscape.

But they also thought about how the planned area would fit into the landscape, for which I made a Photoshop image.
