ALAMAR material warehouse
Parallel to the Cuban Revolution a reuse and repair mentality emerged among Cubans. American technicians left the island and Fidel Castro had to re-educate the people. ‘Worker build your own machinery’ and ‘To beat imperialism in the battle of replacement parts’ were slogans which triggered a makers movement. Moreover shortages of products caused by the trade embargo and the publication of ‘El Libro de la Familia’ , a handbook to repair, re-use and retrofit stuff around the house, contributes to the inventiveness of Cubans. This Cuban ingenuity is known as technological disobedience. As the Western world keeps throwing away (technological obsolescence) Cubans should embrace their mentality and knowledge and be a sustainable example to the world. Instead of throwing away, every object can be reused, repaired or recycled. Alamar’s Material Warehouse incorporates the flows of disregarded materials. It functions as a machine which collects disregarded materials and turns it into new resources through disassembling, recycling and up-cycling. Especially when Cuba is opening up to the world Alamar, an outskirt of Havana, could benefit of a circular economy.

Upcycled objects are available for customers. Those objects are stored in movable shelves in a big open warehouse.
After upcycling the new objects will flow with the machine towards the public warehouse

HAVANA research and exhibition
During the graduation period research has been conducted and made presentable through diagrams and written texts. All this research is collected in different books and pamphlets. Moreover in order to give this extensive research a podium it has been exhibited in different exhibitions in Rotterdam and at the Faculty of Architecture in Delft.

WESTERVELD cemetery interventions
Next to the Kennemer Dune in Driehuis (The Netherlands), lies Westerveld Cemetery & Crematorium. The layout of the cemetery is designed by landscape architect Zocher and was the country’s first crematorium. The history of Westerveld is linked to the history of burial and cremation in the Netherlands. Within this mindset, a series of additions are made to support the rituals at this cemetery. The additions are designed to support the process after the cremation, however, each intervention is also open to different interpretations by visitors. The additions are each related to natural elements and the beautiful scenery of Westerveld is been used to provide the right atmosphere in each stage of the rituals. 1. 2. 3. 4.

AUSTRALIA marika alderton house
Marika Alderton house is designed by Australian architect Glenn Murcutt. This house has been rebuild as a scale model to understand the aesthetics, joints and materials used by Glenn Murcutt. Analyzing every aspect of the house and understanding the sequence of constructing the building contributed to the precision of making the scale model. Details like doorknobs, shutters and construction joints were rebuild the same way as the original house. Moreover multiple material studies have been executed to match the right colors of the existing building.

The Spanish Civil War (1936-39) and the Franco regime (1939-75) have resulted in more than 500.000 deaths and 300.000 exiles. Yet, Spain still does not properly deal with its legacy of the past. In contrast to other European countries with their own dark history, Spain has no museum or information point attempting to tell the history of the Civil War and Franco era. As exemplified in Spain, contradictory expressions of memory coexist in the same time and place. Moreover, people even tend to remember the same things differently at different times. Entangled with the process of remembering are material objects, visual arts, films and literature—the physical carriers of memory. This gives us an approach to deal with the conflicting memory of Spain. By creating an archive for the public, the past can be remembered and learned from. It is of high importance that the many untold stories are kept for future generations, before they disappear altogether.

VENICE primitive shelters
Think, when did you for the last time checked Facebook, your e-mail or Instagram. Distraction nowadays is everywhere around us and it influences our concentration on the ‘important’ tasks. Therefore there is a need for a place without distractions and other influences which will influence your concentration, a type of retreat where you have to focus completely on one task. For example practice playing the guitar for six hours straight without distraction or making a painting. Primitive Shelters is the place with the only the essentials. Primitive shelters are pavilions spread out on the water. Each pavilion has its own activity ranging from culture, sports, intellectual and leisure. Depending on tides the inhabitants can wander around and find a pavilion of their interests. During low tide the inhabitants are able to move around the paths and pavilions. However during high tide the concrete paths will be underwater and the inhabitants are stuck at their pavilion. In this situation there is no escape and the inhabitants are forced to focus on the activity of the pavilion until low tide arrives. The ruin in the middle is used as the placing for living. Within the ruin all necessary functions such as a bed and a kitchen are located. Just the essentials and no distractions!

DELFT re-chair Our society is dominated by mass-production, it is everywhere around us. This chair is build upon the idea of repetition. The chair is therefore designed with as less possible connections and is only made of one continuous fold-able material (metal has been used for the scale model). The chair is folded in steps which will come together at the last fold, the lower part of the backrest with just a screw and two spacers. This joint connects three different moments of the continuous plate and by just this one connection supports and hold together the whole structure of the chair.

SIEM REAP build your future today
Some roads will lead to a dead end meanwhile others will open up new interesting experiences. In Myanmar I was lost on a motorbike and ended up talking to some locals and was invited for lunch, not knowing that I would be invited to a wedding later that week. During this wedding I met the nephew of the bride. He showed me around Bagan and introduced me to some monks from Cambodia at a pagoda. One of the monks, as I told them I was planning to go to Cambodia once, gave me a letter which I would give to a monk in Cambodia, Siem Reap. A month later I gave this message to Sorn, the friend of the monks in Bagan. Sorn introduced me to the his friends and his home and later I got in touch with the activities Sorn did at this NGO called BFT. I was touched by the story and history of Cambodia and the results BFT had reached. Through this experience I ended up volunteering for a month at this place. My activities did vary from teaching English to providing a catalogue of building plans for different buildings in rural areas such as schools, houses and toilets.
