ABOUT ME The way I approach my creativity is with an eye for detail and a passion for architecture. Always looking for innovative and futuristic ways. I want to tell a story with my designs and communicate my ideas in a strong and clear way. I aspire to work in a dynamic environment with an international character. To broaden my architectural perspectives.

SPORT MEDICAL CENTER The Sport Medical Center is a center for sport and musculoskeletal injury prevention, rehabilitation, clinical service, sports performance optimization, and surgical and nonsurgical management of sports related injuries. There is a team of specialists and therapists who work together to focus on all facets of the body and ensure your individual needs are provided. The building for the Sport Medical Center is placed on the rooftop of the Erasmus MC.

The human body, especially the muscles have inspired me
The design is connected with the Erasmus MC on a similar way as a tendon to a muscle
Tendon
Muscle A tendon (or sinew) is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects a muscle to a bone

DEPOT MUSEUMPARK The location for this (re-)design is the Museumpark, which is located in-between the three most well known museums in Rotterdam. It’s also the site where the new Public Art Depot of Museum Boijmans van Beuningen is going to be build. After investigating the current plan, I decided to show my own particular perspective. This public place should come to the attention of people, so I decided to make a futuristic and eye-catching design. I wanted to design something remarkable. I got my inspiration from nature, mainly the forms of plants, fruits and coral.

INSPIRATION
From different perspectives, you can see different points of view. In the picture above it looks like a bunch of fruit. But on the picture on the right you can see all the different parts are spread out along the bridge.

RIVERCRUISE A River cruise is a voyage along inland waterways, often stopping at multiple ports along the way. Since cities and towns often grew up around rivers, river cruise ships frequently dock in the center of cities and towns. This is a design for a rivercruise. I was inspired through the movements of water and shores. All the parts of the rivercruise merge into each other and include the colours of nature.

BREAD STOOL & PAVILION This project I started with an interest in food waste. My project is all about bread and the daily waste of bread. The first part of this project was about learning more about bio-based materials. The assignment was to make a stool. So I made one of bread. The second part was to design a pavilion, also made of biobased materials. I made my pavilion of bread, because I wanted to bring bread waste to the attention of people. Wasting bread has a lot of negative aspects. Bread waste is one of the main causes for pests in the city, like rats. Every overproduced loaf of bread causes exhaustion of the earth. Not only we lose valuable resources, baking bread also uses a lot of energy. Wasting bread costs a lot of money, but also causes damage to the environment. 400.000 loafs of bread are thrown away in the Netherlands every day.

Instead of throwing away the bread we can recycle it. One way of recycling is by making biogas. This is the process of producing biogas. This process will take place in the pavilion. The pipes around the pavilion are designed especially for the process of making biogas.
The shape is based on a loaf of bread. The volume of my pavilion equals only 1/5th of the total amount of daily bread waste in the Netherlands. So actually, I could make five pavilions daily to show the total amount of bread waste in the Netherlands.

APARTMENT There are similarities between the two art forms ‘architecture’ and ‘dance’, which is space. Not only an architect, but also a dancer work with the space. The movement in space is the main subject of this project. However, there is a difference between architecture and dance. So I have done some research to the differences between both. It leads to innovative information and inspiration.

The dance piece ‘Architecture of Dance’ of the New York City Ballet is my inspiration for the design of the apartment.

FISH SKIN This design includes a form and a structure. The form is based on a double helix structure, which occurs in DNA. After discovering that fish skins are a waste product of the fishing industry, I decided to use them to make a structure out of it. I made the fish skin into leather, by using an old technique. For this project I used salmon skins, but almost any kind of fish can be used to make leather of. The salmon skin is a strong, sustainable and beautiful material that can be used like regular leather.
