Graduation ProjectStudio Dwelling: At Home in the CityTutors: BirgitJurgenhake,PaulKuitenbrouwer,YpeCuperus

The research for the assignment contained the question on how gaps in the urban fabric are developed. With case studies it’s been researched which factors were influential on the development process, each divided into social, economical and architectural factors. The outcome of the research was that not only these specified factors but especially the parties behind these factors; architects, planners, constructors, corporations, municipality and neighbouring communities were guiding the development. All the cases have in common that they were gaps in the urban tissue for a long period of time, and this was caused by the economical crisis and mainly by the revolt of the neighbouring communities. Therefor not only the design of the building is the answer but also the strategy behind the development. The development strategy is to design a building as a mainframe in which the user eventually will develop their own dwelling or non- residential function. To make the development a success for the whole neighbourhood, communication between the different actors is essential. Therefor the mainframe, the building, needs a platform on which the parties can communicate with each other. The platform is made in the form of a website and is linked to social media for maximum transparency. The design of the building itself is focused on a way of flexibility that will provide the user/owner a space in which he or she can develop their own ideal way of living. The outcome is a building which consist of casco dwellings which functions as a support for the dweller to design their own home in.

Graduation Project - The Last Gapby Jilles van Eibergen Santhagens

Problem StatementIn the former harbour area in Amsterdam, The Eastern Docklands, one last remaining open plot on the Oostelijke Handelskade needs to be filled in with a mixed use building with a focus on the 21st century dwellings. The ‘train’ of building blocks could be seen as a wall, dividing the narrow piece of land into two; on the south side a main traffic route of pedestrians, cyclists, cars and trains. And on the northside, a quay, running along the IJ-Haven. The narrow alleys allow the passer-by only a small view on the IJ-Haven and Java-Eiland.One problem of the location would be the orientation. The quay runs along the north side of the row of building blocks. Most time of the year the 30 meter high building volumes cast shadows on the quay, creating a dark atmosphere. At the same time the sunny south side is the one with the main acces road, the Piet Heinkade, and the traintracks running right along the plot, creating air and noise pollution. The whole Eastern Docklands area exposes itself to the wind coming from the IJ. The fact that The Netherlands is a very windy country you could say that the residents of the Eastern Docklands are almost always exposed to wind. The L-shaped plot is situated between two urban typologies and has different sizes of building volumes next to it. This could mean that the design somehow needs to connect with different contexts/typologies. One of the principles of the development of the Eastern Docklands area was the high density of 100 dwellings per hectare. This makes the docklands one of the areas with the highest density of The Netherlands. The idea was that the water had to be seen as green, the openess of the water would be the solution to the lack of green in the area. Residents of the neighbourhood still complain about the lack of public green space. The demands of the future are impossible to predict, the formation of families or dwellers are inevitably changing. Also the perception of the residents will change overtime. In the present time of economical crisis the role of the architect, in the process of development, is changing. The traditional role of the architect does not apply for this kind of development anymore.

8. Visualisations Boulevard Zandvoort

Design by Max van Aarschot

The municipality of Haarlem asked the architect and urbanist Max van Aerschot to redesign the boulevard of Zandvoort. I was responsible for the impressions and the presentation. The design consists of a lifted boulevard along the whole coast with parking underneath and is self sustainable due to PV-cels. With this solution a lot of green space is created and the traffic is organized in a better and cycle-friendly way.

2. Renovation of sport complex De Tripkouw

Preliminary & Definitive design

Location: Midwoud, NoordHollandContractor: Vlaar&Vlaarb.v.Completion: April,2015

The studio of Dral Santhagens made the preliminary and definitive design for a sport complex in Midwoud. The assignment was to renovate the complex so it would meet the contemporary requirements for energy consumption and acoustics. The building was leaking, the energy bill was too high, the daylight and acoustics of the sports hall were poor and the interior of the entrance and the dressing rooms needed a make-over. The building is located in the middle of the meadows near Oostwoud and Midwoud. The facade of the sports hall was given a new look by referring to the landscape of North-Holland seen from above. It consists of steel profile plates of different colors of green and yellow, giving it a lively and motion-like appearance. In this way the building has a new fresh and modern look despite the low budget available. The roof was completely removed because it was leaking and it had poor insulation, acoustics and natural daylight. The roof is replaced by one with a perforated ceiling with sound absorbing material behind it to improve the acoustics. Strokes of translucent plates floods the sports hall with natural daylight. The entrance got a new orange PU-floor and a new ceiling. The new windows lightens up the place together with the LED ceiling lights. The signage is improved by decals on the doors indicating the mens and womens dressing rooms and toilets. The interior of the dressing rooms are given separated colors for the men and women as well. Blue and green tiles combined with white ones in a random pattern giving the rooms a fresh and sporty look. Radiators, toilets, sinks and faucets are replaced as well as the benches and pegs. The project is built by a local contractor Vlaar & Vlaar.

During my time at Joris Laarman Lab I worked on several pieces including the Maker Chair series, the Bridge Table and Vortex Console. This involved assembling the CNC milled or aqua jetted pieces and grinding, sanding and finishing the furniture.

During my time at MX3D I worked on printing the Dragon Bench for the Groninger Museum. The technique consists of welding torches connected to robotic arms. In this way forms can be created which are only possible with this multi axis printing method.

5. Competition Entry for an Open Air Theatre

In collaboration with Erik Dral and Joris HeitkampLocation: Hulst, Zeeland

KMP 365 is a design of an open air theatre made for the competition ‘De Keldermanspoort‘ in which the assignment was to make a season bound theatre on the location of a ruin of an old monumental city gate. Dral Santhagens in collaboration with Joris Heitkamp gave answer to this question in the form of an extension of the monument together with a flexible roof so the momument can be used in all seasons. Ranging from a watchtower in winter, to a small enclosed fixed podium for events in spring and autumn, and a flexible roof of a tensile structure with PTFE could offer Hulst a place for events on a larger scale.

6. Public Interior of the Zuidas

Location: Zuidas,Amsterdam

MSc projectStudio: ArchitectureofthepublicinteriorTutors: JurjenZeinstra,MarkPimlott

The Zuidas business district has great ambitions and wants to grow significantly. With already 700 companies it is not only the business center of the Randstad but also of the Netherlands. They are expecting an enormous increase of people going through Station Zuid. The public spaces in and around the station will be important as an infrastructure, but also as an image of the Zuidas. The Mahlerplein will play a role of leading people to and from the station but it will also be a place for people to orientate and be in the center of the huge business district. The square as it is now doesn’t function as a public space where people want to stay. Especially in winter it can be a cold, gray and windy place. So people use it mostly as a way to get to and from the station. The square is considered to be too big and it has hardly any form of shelter. Surrounded by the ABN Amro buidling, Toyo Ito Tower and the Viñoly Tower it is a place where nothing is happening except of people passing through. With only two restaurants with terraces, a Julia’s, some randomly placed benches and a few trees, the place doesn’t provide a need for people to be there. Employees of the offices have all their needs inside of their own building. Students from the university nearby enter the station at the Parnassusweg so don’t use the Mahlersquare. Residents of the surrounding areas have no reason at all to go the Mahlersquare itself. The square has a high potential of becoming a central place where people do want to be. Where people can meet each other, relax, escape work, and also functions as a route to and from the station. The proposal provides people with a couple of improvements. It will provide livelyness through a specific program that attracts different user groups. This will be a key aspect because different user groups make nice public spaces. So it will attract not only business people but also residents of Amsterdam Zuid and Buitenveldert, and students from the Vrije Universiteit. A green environment is very meaningful for this lively atmosphere and it will be a place that has a good relation with the surrounding buildings and connects to the network of streets. Also giving a good access to Station Zuid and to the bus and tram stops. For a comfortable use it will give people an outdoor sheltered space as well, that protects them from rain, wind and sun. The shelter will be made in a way that people really feel they are in a different zone of the Zuidas. A lot of big financial companies are situated at the Zuidas and since the economic crisis the reputation of the business district is affected in a very negative way. The Mahlersquare will be a place where the Zuidas community will be in contact with the outside world again. Pedestriansandcyclistsflowfromandtothestation.

7. Food Center on the RDM Campus

Location: RDM-Campus,Rotterdam

MSc projectStudio:HyperbodyTutors: TomaszJaskiewicz,KasOosterhuis

The RDM-Campus in Rotterdam lacks facilities where people can buy their groceries. This fact in combination with the decrease of agricultural land by expanding cities in The Netherlands, brought me to an urban vertical farming project: Food Center RDM. What this foodcentre will do is bring fresh, healthy and affordable food directly to the customers at the RDM area, right in the middle of the city of Rotterdam. But an urban context needs an urban solution. The many greenhouses you find in The Netherlands are build with mass standardization, from steel and glass. Huge ugly rectangular mass production. This urban farm however, has been formed by its surrounding, with the quay at the south east corner of the dock as its leading object. The building is nicely integrated in its urban context with its wing shaped form following the corner of the quay, connecting two different areas of the RDM site. It’s a place where vegetables are grown hydroponically in vertical farming towers and where fish are bred in fish tanks. The whole design was modelled with a Grasshopper script connected to Rhino. With the use of four adjustable powerlines running along the quay, the shape of the building could be optimized.
