PLATFORM FOR CREATION TU Delft | individual project | 2016 | duration 9 weeks | grade 10/10
The scenario of this assignment states that the Dutch Institute of Architecture in Rotterdam completely burnt down and has to be rebuilt. My design for this new building redefines the enormous empty plain in the middle of the city and responds to MVRDV’s bowl shaped mirror-building that will be realised in the future.

BAMBOO HOUSING PROJECT Bambú Social | interdisciplinary project (4p) | 2015 | duration 5 months | grade 9.5/10
Bambú Social aims to improve the housing conditions in Nicaragua, by sharing knowledge about bamboo as a construction material. The goal of our project was to design good, affordable and easy-to-build bamboo housing. Click here for my video summary

I mainly focussed on the needs and wishes of the local families and incorporated the results of my research to the design of a social house. While visiting people in their homes, I asked them to draw and explain their current living situation and their dream house. The high indoor temperature and lack of privacy turnt out to be the main issues, apart from their economic status and lack of trust towards financial institutions.
17
The main characteristics of the new design are its modularity, its flexibility and its ability for prefabrication. Because we believe that a social house should be accessible to the poorest, while adaptable to the needs and wishes of the entire target group.

green shoppingstreet
semi-private vs. public
traffic vs recreation area
This assignment is about the transformation of an existing residential block in Amsterdam. My plan combines the original concept of light, air and space (1940’s) with the needs of the future. An important disadvantage of ‘air and space’ is the distance it creates between people. This plan is about connecting people and spaces and overcome divisions within the city as well as society.

Seven different housing types bring about a wide variety of residents. The arrangement of housing types throughout the block promotes contact between neighbours of different socio-economic groups. Also, the spacious porches with their alluring view invite all residents to enjoy their shared garden.

Residents have the opportunity to choose their preferred facade-module. This personal touch entails greater satisfaction concerning the final form of their house, but also a feeling of involvement and responsibility for the entire building.

VLAARDINGEN CITY ROUTE TU Delft | group project (3p) | 2014 | duration 9 weeks | grade 9/10
An assignment to create a strategic plan for a ‘forgotten’ part of Vlaardingen. The historical features of the area are a leading factor, but it’s also important to take socio-economic aspects into account. The plan aims to create a pleasant and interesting environment for both residents and visitors.

Based on the historical structure of the area we’ve created a grid. The grid leaves five spaces open, each with their own character. The route that crosses the area doesn’t only connect these spaces, but also forms a link between the train station and the city center.

The long track, that once belonged to the rope facory, is an important but dilapidated historical feature in Vlaardingen. By extending it with a collective greenhouse and a rose-arch it will become an important social aspect along the route.

To keep the five different areas together, it is important to maintain a strong connection between the general concept and the details. This is achieved by reflecting the historical features in the materialisation.
