THE LIVING LIBRARY library for humans and plants Academic: Master Thesis at TU Delft tutors: Ferry Adema + Armina Pilav Situated in the post-war landscape of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina this project explores new ways of living with nature after the result of human destruction. Taking the site of the ruin of the former University Library left over from the war, the project explores the process of decay as a starting point for new collaborations between humans and nature, with the aim to bring this relationship closer. The proposal is perceived over a time line where humans and plant species work together to slowly transform the current site conditions into a series of different gardens. In connection with the neighbouring schools the community engage with the complete growth cycle of different plants. The architectural response combines different approaches by splitting the site into three zones, these approaches include heritage restoration, decay/ecological restoration and the build of a new contemporary structure. These represent past, present and future ways of interacting with nature with decay being the transition towards something new.

zoning Zoning allows a combination of approaches. In zone one the ruin is restored and contains human only spaces. For zone three a simple contemporary structure is proposed housing plant and human functions. The transition space between the is zone 2 where the second half of the ruin is left to decay. Staircases join the two structures acting as link between old and new architecture as well as ways of thinking and interacting in relation to nature.

UNCOVERING HOHER MARKET reconfiguring the palimpsest of a public square academic: design studio at TU Delft tutors: Albert Takashi Richters In collaboration with colleague Agnieszka Panasiuk, analysis was carried out in one of the oldest medieval market squares in Vienna. The site was investigated through the concept of palimpsest and whilst today’s function it served as a car park, we found a long history of events had happened there each of which had left some artefact of that time. Together was developed a strategy to reconfigure the square in order to uncover and reconnect the existing artefacts, this included creating a new entrance to the Wien Museum holding the ruins of tribune house from the Roman city of Vindobona which first stood on the site. Along with the landscape intervention we proposed new market pavilions to restore the sites former function, enabling the site to become both a place for the exchange of goods as well as history and culture once more.

THE CYCLING FORUM city room for cyclists Academic: Bachelor Thesis at MSA tutors: Ronan Connelly + Stephan Connah The Cycling Forum began with research project into Manchester’s city context as a ‘ground floor city’. This looked into the problems being faced in the city centre and the ways we can try to improve the experience for the pedestrian and cyclist bringing social vitality back to the street and public space. This research evolved into the design project for a forum for cyclists in the city centre, to encourage free mobility in a city dominated by cars. The concept of the Forum is to create a new city square within the urban block for a central assembly space allows free movement for cyclists and pedestrians as well as gathering and does a city square. This is supported by three figures, housing the relevant facilities to support cycling in the city.

DE KLEPPERSTEE holiday park visitor centre, South Holland Professional: Junior at Vakwerk Architecten supervisors: Francesco Veenstra Complete this year de Klepperstee is a new visitor centre for a holiday park in South Holland. Working with the design team I was involved from the early stage of the design helping to arrive at concept and massing and facade design proposals. Furthermore, I aided development of the Revit model for the project. The three buildings are situated and orientated on site in relation to their programme of offices, playspace and cafe. The aim is to create a strong relationship with the exterior spaces and are linked by a large terrace, which hold them together create transition between interior and exterior. The facade design responds to the programme of each individual mass whilst continuing the same language by slowly peeling back to allow for more glazing in the cafe and playspace where more connection with the exterior is intended.

ZORGBUURT VIELAND healthcare community, North Holland Professional: Junior at Vakwerk Architecten supervisors: Francesco Veenstra The Zorgbuurt Vlieland is a competition proposal for a new healthcare neighbourhood on the island of Vieland, North Holland. The neighbourhood aims to combine housing and various healthcare facilities to dignify aging on the island. The scheme proposed diversity of homes with the aim to create a “community� feeling in the neighbourhood within the close network of the village. The houses is are organised in courtyards to enhance the collective feeling. The collection of houses situates itself in the landscape, responding to the local architecture and settling itself between the pine trees and dunes. Working in the design team my responsibility on the project was to aid the design through developing massing and form explorations on site as well as producing sketch visuals and a physical model for the final submission.

KAMPUS Mixed residential scheme, Central Manchester Professional: Architectural Assistant at Mecanoo supervisors: Francesco Veenstra + Ernst ter Horst Kampus is a large residential scheme for 450 apartments and with ground floor mixed use space in Manchester city centre, due to be completed in spring 2020. I was part of the primary design team for this project from the beginning through to planning application in April 2016. This meant working on many aspects of the design from analysis, concept, materiality, client engagement and production of the planning application requirements. The main challenge with this project was to provide the required quantity of apartments on site. Therefore the concept aims to break up the mass into three levels, putting emphasis of quality into the podium to reduce the sense of scale and adding an element of playfulness to the roof. The assembly of buildings includes an renovation of the 1960’s tower, which becomes the icon with it’s own facade treatment.

DISPLACED GARDENS research + exhibition for Manifesta 12, Palermo Academic: TU Delft collab with OMA architects tutors: Paul Cournet + Giulio Margheri The project was the part of a larger group research project into ‘gardens’ in the city of Palermo. Different aspects of the city’s rich history and culture has been explored through the concept of a ‘garden’ where nature and culture collaborate. The final outcome of this research was presented as a contemporary Wunderkammer of our collective findings, exhibited in Manifesta 12. The Displaced Garden was explored by myself, Fiona Thompson and Harrison Lang. The research investigates Palermo’s agricultural economy as global garden and epicentre within migratory flows and global influences. Both the historic and contemporary influx of migration into the country has transformed the landscape, infrastructure and culture. The aim is to challenge the perception of traditional identity of these products, by creating a contemporary interpretation of branding in order to highlight these often hidden aspects and address the new cultivation of co-existence taking place on the Island.

KOW-LOOP an illustrated story into the daily life of a boy living in the the former Kowloon Walled City tutors: Alessandro Arcangeli + Stefanos Filippas In order to understand Kowloon Walled City the project has been approached from a human perspective. The city has been deconstructed on three scales from the experience of a boy living there. Starting from the largest scale a layered network of narrow alleyways and staircases, carrying electricity, water pipes and installations create the streets of the city. This complexity is shown as a 3d maze of different layers built up to understand the labyrinth. Zooming in shows the simultaneity of the city. One moment in time, where multiple activities take place. A man puts his garbage out on the roof where a women is hanging her washing and children are playing chase. Underneath, appears a dentists, gambling dens, funiture makers, brothels and a famillies living side by side. A variety of activities take place represented in a section shows the diversity of this world. Finally, showing its contrast, another side of the story is told through a series of combined perspectives. The same city in which famillies build their lives in collective community is ruled by the Triads, forcing them to adapt to this ungoverned way of living. [collab with Nami Gradoli]
