ments for course Architectural Engineering Production & Parts provided by Jan Schevers. First we will look back on assignment 1. You can read about the things I discovered and learned whilst making this scale model. This 1:2 scale model is based on a design made by an architectural office called Onix architecten who are localized in the city of Groningen. The office is well known for its designs because they are mostly made of wood. One of their projects is Called “het schoorsteenhuis” ( Chimney house ) in a city called Bosschenhoofd (Netherlands). We decided to base our detail on this project.
On page 2 you`ll find a piece of art by Vincent Kohler. What he showed me is how many things can be created from one piece, like a monolith. He showed me how free you can be even if you cut tree-trunk into pieces you’ll keep the idea of the monolith.
This course is still very important for me. I have of I`ve learned several things about architecture and how important

oncept
The concept of my design is: Parent embracing the child! This concept comes out the context were the building has to be placed. The space between Vertigo and de Zwarte doos is the best location to design the workshop. Vertigo and de Zwarte doos symbolising a parent who is embracing their child. In this case the workshop extension is the child. In the program of preferences we had to design a building of maximum 100 square meters and keep the concept of the detail we have made in our mind. The concept of the build detail was a monolith where tight detailing creates a continuous look of the wooden skin. Which will have a connection with the environment. I got really inspired by that kind of idea and used it in my design.

ocation
To find a connection with the surroundings of the TU/e. The location had to be in sight, so I decided to use the west side of the University of Technology. The most important entrance or sidewalk is located there, its called Limbopad. This footpath starts from nearly Eindhoven central station and ends up in the green walk. This ‘Limbopad’ is made like a fluid dynamic shape through a green park and will conduct you to the external Production & Parts workshop. The 1:1 scale models must be demonstrated in a kind of showroom. This place is very suitable for drawing attentions to the people passing by.

esign
The L-shaped finds his commencement of the footprint from Vertigo and the Zwarte doos. In the model study there were a different amount of opportunities with a maximum of 100 square meters. The model symbolizes the arm of a parent who is embracing their child. In this case the extension will be the child. The design fits in this context. On the front side, window openings contain a differing sill height. The reason for this decision is to cover the flowerbed and make a border between the nature and the building. This breaks the elevation and makes it more playful. On the roof there are three skylights to get a lot of daylight into the workshop. Two skylights on Vertigo’s side give the possibility to look in the workshop of production and parts from the first floor. On the first floor in Vertigo we have a void to get a visual connection between the auditorium and the workshop of the building of architecture, building and planning.

This detail shows you how this building is been constructed. The construction is made of timber-frame wood combined with steel construction to span the big width daylight openings. On the end, where two windows connect, a steel column is placed inside the window frame. This way it hides the steel structure and gives the opportunity to use more floor space. Furthermore the detail shows how the finishing covers of Red Cedar must be placed to cover the window frames from inside and outside. And reinforce the concept of a monolith. The roof is covered with vegetation. So this makes the strong connection and relation with the designs context.

onclusion
To conclude practising and making the 1:2 detail and finish it with a design assignment is really helpful. To feel, touch and shape materials in your design process is really useful. Before this course I used hand sketches and computer models drafted in Sketch up mostly. But Architectural Engineering Production & Parts showed me how contact and work with real materials to make scale models convinced me in my design process. Conceptual thinking about the project and bring this back into details is a good learning process in aesthetical relation. I kept the 1:2 model in my thoughts and used the way of thinking to design the extension of Vertigo workshop. The shell which is smooth and creates a continuous look is made out of wooden Red Cedar panels which you see in the interior as well. The window frames are covered and hided behind wooden planks. Here you see the monolith back. So this L-shaped ‘box’ is the new design with characteristics of villa Bosschenhoofd designed by Onix architecten and the conceptual thinking of it.
