Coral Frontiers is a proposal for a new infrastructure for coral regeneration on the Island of Diego Garcia. It is also a geo-political intervention into a unique entanglement of military, human rights, and environmental stakes. The project explores how could an architectural proposal result in a shift in the balance of power that has crystallised in this remote island, and support the resettlement of the exiled community of its native inhabitants, the Chagossians. This project attempts to turn vulnerability into a force, and to challenge the defeatist assumptions that a small exiled community would always has to bend to the will of powerful governments.

The station area of Utrecht’s centre is undergoing significant redevelopment and currently receives almost 100 million travelers per year, with 25 million alone passing through the site of the North Building. The developer proposed an unusual, mixed use program including 8.000 m2 luxury hotel, 7.200 m2 retail, 5.000 m2 of ofices, and 1.800 m2 restaurant and bar. By collecting the program for the North Building into one slim volume, which adjusts according to each program contained within it, building over the track, a costly and logistically undesirable proposal, can be prevented.

IJburg is a new district to the east of Amsterdam. On its six artificial islands, 18,000 homes will be eventually be built for 45,000 residents. MVRDV’s challenge was to create a building that works as a living room for IJburg, where the building becomes a part of the community like piece of street furniture. The club house is a 322 m2 open volume with services on either side such as dressing rooms, a kitchen and toilets. The main space is multifunctional, so it can be used for the club’s many events.

It is assumed that the future use of the Tegel airport will be as a commercial and manufacturing base. The concept of ‘Tegel Fields’, 460 Ha Business park masterplan, provides a framework for making the area dense, sustainable, and a high quality environment to develop and do business in. The existing terminal building will be preserved and used as a lobby and development agency for the area. In the north of Tegel, existing buildings will be converted for commercial and leisure functions which are compatible with the adjacent residential areas. Integrated into these developments will be forest and park areas which complement the existing urban fabric.

The Wembley FAIRground is a proposal for an extension of the Brent Archive in the Wembley Triangle. It is a model for an alternative archive, a catalyst for the production of intellectual and cultural life rather than a mere repository of artefacts. By infiltrating the community’s everyday life, the Wembley FAIRground breaks down the barriers of public access to the collective memory of Wembley. This time-based, growing model enables the slow transformation from a minimal public intervention to a complex and highly dynamic independent institution.

Located between St. Anastasia’s Cathedral and the Archeological Museum in Zadar, the building, which is formerly a housing complex from 1964, has been converted into a hostel with 37 rooms with 111 beds. The project uses new drywall geometries, color rasters, rhythmic patterns of ceramic tiles, glossy varnishes, acrylic reflective boards, and tinted mirrors, to create a new relation toward the antique, modernistic heritage. The program gradually transitions from the private to the public – with the continuous hallway of the chat room, the installed courtyard pavilion, and the cafe located on the intersection of the Cardo and the Decumanus.

The site for the new primary school in Zagreb is located in the city’s area without any strict urban regulation. With the surroundings as a main reference, the physical context is formed by the dynamic exchange of full and empty. That is achieved by the continuous manipulation of the heights. As a result, micro-ambient areas with different spatial, lighting, temperature and functional character are being created. Perforated roof surface is becoming the skylight for all the ‘living areas’ in the school. Its relatively large surface is activated by solar photocells, energy collectors and a rainwater cisterns, thereby providing a self-sufficient building.

The Place Agency competition was organised by the Brent Council asking for a new platform for communicating the place-based regeneration and investment opportunities in Wembley. Our incremental proposal was based on participatory mapping and extensive interviews with the residents and included elements of self-build with the existing communities and local stakeholders. Having gained second place in the competition, we have been commissioned by Brent Council to deliver a community-informed masterplan for the Wembley Triangle.

The Book Mountain is a building with a mission: to encourage a town populated by the least enthusiastic readers in the Netherlands to switch off their televisions and start reading books again. This biography of the Book Mountain paints a picture of the town of Spijkenisse and the political and social contexts in which such buildings are realized. The story also examines the role of the modern library, the essence of a Ville Nouvelle and the search for an alternative for identification - and whether or not this should be done through historicizing architecture.

PAGE SAMPLESHARD AND PAPER COVER PROPOSAL SPIJKENISSE LIBRARY INTERIOR

For MVRDV’s 20th anniversary, and as a prize for being chosen as Architect of the Year 2012 by the readers of German magazine Architektur & Wohnen, MVRDV created a small retrospective exhibition of its work. Faced with the task of looking back onto their own work MVRDV decided to rely on the public verdict: Almost all texts in the exhibition are quotes from media. The models exhibited are favourites of the visitors to the Rotterdam office and the projected movies are the most wanted on social media. A selection of past and current work is visualised in a timeline illuminated as a giant advertisement, fitting to the showroom context.

This exhibition explores the relationship between context and authenticity in relation MVRDV’s Glass Farm, a hypercontextual building inspired by the local farm typology, yet surprising for its scale and materiality. A series rooms in the museum show the development of the Glass Farm and present studies of the local farm typology through historical drawings and photographs. The exhibition also includes 18 models of key projects from MVRDV’s archive, such as ‘Market Hall’, ‘Book Mountain’ and ‘Glass Farm’.

From the 14th of March until the 10th of July 2014, myself and 9 other students from Royal College of Art, ran the Wembley Civic University, in collaboration with Brent Council. Acting as ‘architects in residence’ we worked in close relationship with local stakeholders to design sustainable proposals for the future of the Wembley Triangle. During our residency in Wembley, we refurbished a space provided by the council and consequently ran it as a community forum from which a series of individually-led initiatives were developed while being anchored in the reality of the local conditions – a complex network of ethnically distinct communities and businesses.

Written in 1967, Henri Lefebrve’s prophetic declaration of ‘The Right to the City’ contains a dual sense: on one side it is a revolutionary claim urging man to reach out for a new society and a new city;on the other it is an imperative which rises up from the streets in response to specific disputes of urban contexts. Architecture & Activism Unit (Royal College of Art) have used the Work in Progress 2015 Show to organise series of debates through which they collectively formulated an alternative Right to the City Charter.
