Accelerating Clean Technology

After having graduated as an architect in the Netherlands, I find myself regularly questioning what this actually means. During my last years of study and in recent engagements in intercultural projects I have become aware that by seeing myself as a designer instead of an architect I can apply my skills better and more effectively.
During research projects in South America, Africa and Japan I learned that through engagements with local stakeholders and communities I was able to more creatively identify appropriate media for the concerns, demands and whishes I was asked to address. As a designer, architecture is not excluded, instead disciplinary constraints are suspended until the appropriate project and media is defined.
In some of my late projects I have been exploring graphic design as a means to clearly convey complex information. Information is increasingly saturating our built environment, and data sets are ever growing. At the same time designers are increasingly working internationally demanding cross cultural communication skills. In my personal experience graphic design has been a very important tool to communicate and engage in collaborative design processes across cultures and disciplines to put forward projects that exceed a disciplinarian approach.
At the same time I feel that my training as an architect has exposed me to many different media such as photography, 3d modeling, sketching, sculpting, digital art, collage and more. Ultimately, for me as a designer it is important to first listen and study carefully, choose your tools appropriately, and work diligently with an eye for perfection to create something beneficial and beautiful.
With my skill sets and attitude I am confident that I can make a useful contribution to work collaboratively on challenging and innovative projects.

Shoeshop for Marloes ten Bhömer.
Marloes ten Bhömer produces couture shoes that are both provocative and otherworldly. Her work fuses artistic and technological experiment in order to discover shoes anew. Marloes ten Bhömer’s makes one of a kind shoes tailored to individual clients. The idea behind this project was to design a shop which displays her designs as genuine pieces of art.
While designing the shop it was important to understand the idea behind the shoes and the designers, their target group and their radiation to the outside world.
The given that her shoes where exhibited in museum and lectures gave me a lot of inspiration how to form this shoe-shop. By analyzing the formal logic behind a series of her shoes I came up with shop built up of surfaces and separate elements which together created a routed exhibition space, atelier and sittingplace.

The Sculpture in the Polder
The project brief is to make an architectural icon in the Dutch polder that can serve as an international symbol for contemporary Dutch culture.
The site, in the polder, is the archetypical Dutch agricultural landscape. The polder is below sealevel and characterized by a vast matrix of large rectangular fields and small canals which are dotted with windmills and cows.
Because of the small programmatic brief, I used a more sculptural landscape design method to frame the architecture within its vast landscape.A 200 meter long wall of concrete and cortens steel resonates the geometry of the polders while referencing sealevel height at 4m. Besides the private program on the ground floor, the roof functions as a part of a larger public walking route.
The concept of the design is to subtly reference the Dutch geographic condition through juxtposition with a more autonomous and abstract architecture. Resistent to iconographic cliche’s, the design uses materials that strarkly stand out of the green surounding.
The Polder is a fundamental spatial definition of the Netherlands that historically has had profound influence on the social, cutlural and economic organization of the country.

ARCHITECTURAL STUDIES LINER MUSEUM
Repetition is overruling the world
“With scaly silvery skin, a long, low body and a great spiked crest, the Liner Museum in Appenzell, Switzerland, lies like a gentle dragon between railroad tracks and a curving road. The Liner museum is glimmer against the sloping farmlands and “the form is meant to have many different meanings and associations,” writes Annette Gigon of Annette Gigon / Mike Guyer Architects.” The building is an abstraction of repetitions found in the surroundings of the museum. This repetition can be found in the small houses, the mountains, the forest and
Repetition is an old definition which has been used for many years, often by philosophers. “The philosophical discussion of repetition ranges from Plato’s understanding of repetition as reminiscence or recollection of an already existing knowledge. Deleuze discusses Nietzsche’s concept of the “eternal return” as “the power of beginning and beginning again” Deleuze counters Freud’s understanding of repetition as a compulsive reiteration of the past which psychoanalysis attempts to stop by representing it, with the understanding that repetition allows for reinvention”.
By analyzing the existing building a abstract model arise. The way the building was designed created rules to make the abstract model. Every hole, size, movement and opening are reflecting the Liner Museum Design.

The invisible city of RotterdamExperimental Architecture in Sociopolitical Contexts
This course had a whole different approach to come to a design than I was used to. To understand the idea behind the Border Conditions department, here a small explanation of their Theme and Method of working.
Located between the Kruisplein and Schouwburgplein in Rotterdam, the site is characterized by the dynamic flows that connect Rotterdam Station with various destinations in the city. This emphasis on movement at the representative entrance of Rotterdam lacks the articulation of a public experience, where people can meet, interact, exchange thoughts, express themselves freely, and enjoy the city.
Paths Articulating the urban condition of the site as a mayor infrastructure node and the convergence of Rotterdam’s diverse population, paths are designed to create an artificial density at the human scale amidst the vastness of Rotterdam’s modernist planned city entrance. This density recreates the currently lacking congestion essential for a public urban experience; the exposure of oneself to difference, to others - a density of different desires.
LocusThe meandering paths connect special locus that were identified through photographic investigation and interviews with the ultimate urban citizens: Rotterdam’s homeless. These locus articulate certain views, programmatic connections, and leave room for new program like podia, shops, tourist information, bookshops, kiosks, etc. These places would function as intermediate destinies, but also as podia for the passerby.
Movement + InteractionThe design emphasizes the balance between movement (paths) and human interaction (locus). By spatially defining the route and articulating special locus on it, the human and built environment are stitched together as one cinematographic experience of Rotterdam.

URBAN EMERGENCIES LANDSLIDES 1999 VENEZUELA
Venezuela - Vargas
Urban Emergencies is research group at the Delft University of Technology that looks into post -disaste redevelopment at the urban-regional scale.
In 2009 I parricipated in a global survey that lookd at the long term affects of redevelopment reponses after natural disaster in Venezuela, El Salvador, Ghana, Bangladesh, the Phillipines and Indonesia.
In the spring of 2009, I traveled to Venezuela to study the redevelopment after the 1999 landslides in Vargas, locally referred to as La Tragedia. In a period of 24 hours the average annual rainfall in the region came down on the slopes of the Avila mountain, causing massive landslides that affected 90.000 people. Our study in Vargas, 10 years after the disaster, investigated the spatial implications of various redevelopment responses in the Vargas state.
Given the vast complexity of redeveloping an entire state, we tried to find out relationships between the plans made after the disasters and the contemporary spatiality of Vargas: What did it for example mean for the shape of Vargas that the government prioritized infrastructure and neglected housing? Or, what are the implications of the newly created canalizations on the relationship between two neighborhoods?
We used a systemic research approach. First we tried to form a holistic view of the various predominant factors during the redevelopment process. To create this we started with a literature study and the interviewing of scholars, aid workers and politicians in Caracas (the capital).
With this general overview we chose a specific case study in Macuto. Here, we investigated through observation, surveys, spatial analysis , and comparing interviews with the planners and the actual inhabitants in Macuto.
The hypothesis - lessons - we distilled from Macuto were further tested, in collaboration with the Venezuelan RedCross, on other cities in Vargas. This gave us insight into prevailing problems in the whole state, and which

Publication, Exhibition and Symposium
At the completion of the Urban Emergencies research (pg. 26) I organized the conclusive exhibition and symposium where all research was presented and discussed. My work involved promotion, inviting guest speakers, design-building the exhibition space and the design of posters which summarized and synthesized the research of 6 different groups who worked around the world for 3 months.
The challenge of the exhibition was to provide a cheap and easy to build framework which the different research groups could appropriate and customize. This was conceptually important because it was in line with one the important conclusions we made on post-disaster redevelopment.
In the exhibition we emphasized the use of different types of media such as photography, graphic design, animation, writing, use of local products, interviews, and sound fragments. Another challenge was to make an exhibition that could be built up in a very short time and was transportable.
I finally chose to use pallets and pre-fabricated wooden houses which were easy to build and break down. These structures were easily rearranged in different formations and meaning. The final result was well received and the symposium drew a large crowd.

Venezuela - Vargas
This design resulted from the conclusive workshop of the Urban Emergencies studio. As an architectural assignment adjacent to the main research project we collaborated with a local innovation incubator ENVIU . The design demonstrated some conceptual proposals in relation to the 6 month research done for Urban Emergencies.
The OpenSourceHouse project by Enviu looked into the possibility of a structural module which could be filled in with prefabricated elements which could be designed and redistributed globally.
However, because our research emphasized a thorough investigation of a particular location, our final proposal was more a critique of the OS-House principle instead of an attempt to implement the concept in Venezuela.
Each of our three proposal touched on a critical point which can be read in relation to this. Each proposal tried to identify crucial aspects of the (in)formal building industry in Venezuela, through conceptual design. The ideas could be seen as creative indications to inspire, inform or give direction to further development of actual prototypes.

Japan - Minami Sanriku Cho
In July 2011 I traveled with a selected multidisciplinary team of Harvard graduate students to the disaster area Minami Sanriku Cho to do research into the redevelopment of this area in the next couple of years.
In March 2011 the site ‘the Minami Sanriku region of Northern Miyagi Prefecture was almost entirely annihilated. The earthquake of magnitude 9.0 and tsunami waves of over 16 meters resulted in the destruction of 95% of the buildings and thousands missing from an original population of 17,666. As a result of the location of the Shizugawa School on a hill, above the tsunami inundation line, most of the children survived.
We worked in collaboration with students of MIT and Japanese students of Miyagi University which made the communication with the Japanse people possible.
After doing some site related research and many interviews we tried to came up with a plan which envisioned our ideas as well as the ideas of the local people. All the different interviews gave us a broad view of the situation before and the situation after the disaster.
Because of the insight of their needs we decided also to built a temporary community center of local materials. With the help of local volunteer carpenters, people from the community and many students we were able to finish this building in a week.

Kejetia InterventionsGiving public form to the Kumasi Central Market
“The market is not a place, a thing, or a collective entity. The market is a process, actuated by the interplay of the actions of the various individuals cooperating under the division of labor.“1
“The mere presence or the market has a transformative impact in myriad ways: increased economic activity, creating spaces of social exchange, bringing together diverse populations, and contribute to the organization of the city.”2
Inter-Cultural ExchangeDeveloping an architectural proposal in Ghana as a Dutch architect requires a self-conscious and critical position regarding the obvious socioeconomic disparities between the two countries. To achieve an appropriate architecture, patronizing tendencies of western work should be avoided whilst a realistic perspective into the local building industry should be established. A sensible approach to the geography and climate are also essential. Ultimately, instead of attempting to make a ‘typical’ Ghanaian building the design attempts to emphasize the confluence of Western and African design culture.
Urban AcupunctureIn response to the plans to destroy and rebuild the market as a Western modeled shopping mall this design proposes an alternative solution for redevelopment. First a series of personal mappings and anthropological work by Gracia Clark and AbduhMalikh Simone identified what important patterns and systems are essential to the markets functionality as well as what structural deficiencies need urgent attention. Based on the research a strategy of ‘urban acupuncture’ is proposed to reach maximum gain with minimal intervention in the market. This subtle intervention is crucial, because informal and social networks are fundamental to the livelihoods of local traders as well as the general supply and distribution logistics that define the market. Furthermore, market traders survive on a daily wage, which is little above the poverty-line. This thesis thus opposes the dislocation of traders, prolonged disruption of the daily routine, or the wholesale formalization of this vivid and dynamic system, and rather seeks to 1 Mises, (1949 )2 Gantner (2009)

implement a structure that can gradually be built without requiring total transformation.
Public AmenitiesHowever, while certain positive aspect of the current market are identified, there are serious deficiencies that cause discomfort for traders as well as customers of the market. Bad sanitation, overcrowding, fire-hazard, and bad access, amongst other issues, are part of a daily routine that is far from ideal. Based on interviews, and participation in a daily trading routine, certain problems were identified, and a design brief formulated. The final structure contains an Internet cafe, offices for market officials, a medical and day-care center, a kayayoo (girls that carry groceries) rest-place, a fire- and security post, toilets, and a water storage and access point. Whilst the design doesn’t attempt to solve all issues and deficiencies, it shows that alternative more delicate Section final design Kumasi Central Market

strategies can significantly improve life on the market.
Architectural AestheticAlthough a very cautious strategy was used for the intervention, the proposal uses architecture as an organizational device to make the generic form of the market more legible. In order to create a strong architectural presence, the main structure is lifted above the ground floor and uses a strong pattern based on Kente cloth to create a contrasting aesthetic with the homogeneous roofscape of rusty corrugated steel roofing. Given that the design anticipates expansion, appropriation and modification a clear modular structure is implemented that has a formal resilience and will remain a legible as an integrated yet autonomous architecture on the Kejetia Market.

Rammed earth brick
For my graduation I visited Ghana for 2 months of which 4 weeks were spent doing research, and 2 weeks design-building a factory for water filters in collaboration with students from MIT.
Given the studio only organized a two week site visit, i decided to stay longer to get a better feeling of the local culture and social practices, which I think is crucial when working in international settings.
Through contact with a team of students I got involved with a project in in the North of Ghana. At the site which was located in the heart of three traditional villages, I investigated innovative methods of producing rammed earth bricks with local soil and a minimum of concrete. The bricks we produced were marketable and cheaper than the ubiquitous concrete bricks on the market.
The brick production was envisioned as a means to “subsidize” the production of the Kosim filters, which is PHW’s main objective. The business concept was based on the idea that the high urbanization rate of Tamale, and the subsequent demand on construction materials, would make brick production a certain and stable profitable enterprise.

Hema (a dutch department store) organized a competition to design graphic artworks which display the thought, concept and feeling of their store. The chosen works were realized on every store of the new main office in Amserdam.
Our idea behind the ones we submitted:Hema stands for everyday happenings. Everything is ment to be and the Hema stands for this. Hema is challeging and familiar at the same time. Hema keeps it quite simple but still creates a great amazement by it’s public. Our graphic walldesign seems simple but let the imagination of the people play. There are coming many elements of the Hema back in both designs. From products, to marketing elements to all the amazing colours they use.

De transitie naar een duurzame energievoorziening is onvermijdelijk. Dit betekent dat de productie van zonne-energie, windenergie en biogas sterk zal toenemen. Op dit moment wordt de onvoorspelbaarheid en onstuurbaarheid van duurzame energiebronnen opgevangen door met name conventionele technologieën, gebaseerd op fossiele brandsto�en die langzaam opraken. Ook al beschikken we over steeds meer duurzame energie, we blijven conventionele energiecentrales nodig hebben om energie te leveren als het niet waait of de zon niet schijnt. Op den duur is deze aanpak onhoudbaar. BlueGeneration zet daarom in op duurzame decentrale energie en richt zich op technologie die de eindgebruiker in staat stelt om schoon en met zeer hoge e�ciëntie energie op te wekken op het moment dat het nodig is en op de plaats waar het nodig is.
BlueGen brandstofcel technologie maakt deze visie mogelijk en is de eerste stap in de transitie naar duurzame decentrale energie. Door de hoge e�ciëntie van de BlueGen brandstofcel, in combinatie met biogas, is het mogelijk om klimaatneutraal en lokaal schone energie en warmte te produceren. De brandstofcel technologie is daardoor complementair aan zonne- en wind energie en kan duurzaam energie opwekken, ook op het moment dat andere duurzame bronnen dat niet kunnen.
BlueGeneration wil iedereen de mogelijkheid geven om mee te bouwen aan een toekomst met duurzame decentrale energie. Wij bieden alles om de overstap naar eigen brandstofcel energie mogelijk, makkelijk en aantrekkelijk te maken. En we ontwikkelen nieuwe diensten zoals een VIrtual Power Plant, waamee alle BlueGens slim aan gestuurd kunnen worden en de gezamenlijke overcapaciteit ingezet wordt om on-demand schone energie aan het net te leveren. Hiermee ontwikkelen we meerwaarde voor onze klanten en dragen bij aan de versnelling van de transitie naar een duurzame economie.

Sanoma Media
Sanoma Media is with its magazines, custom media, events, websites, mobile sites and apps the largest media company based on reach in the Netherlands.
My office performed the CO2 Footprint analysis in 2009. This marked the start of a longer collaboration. We scanned the main offices of Sanoma Media in Hoofddorp to reveal insight in emission and indicated quick wins and potential CO2 savings.
Now we are a guiding partner in the steps Sanoma Media is making towards a more sustainable business. This starts with a better understanding of the sustainability challenges in supply chain. The current project entails a deep process research. Results are delivered in an App environment, where I’m responsible for, which leads to a playful adoption of the data by Sanoma Media. Flipping through the data will provide new insights and ideas that will lead to impactful solutions.

GRAPHIC DESIGN - EARRINGSCreate an identity
Silhouettes are strong images which largely speaks for themselves. You should be careful by using them, especially in larger graphic illustrations but they can express a lot with a simple iconic image.
T-SHIRT DESIGN - RUN FOR HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH
T-shirts sold on a party for a charity
In 2010 25 people were running the New York Marathon for the charity Human Rights Watch, an international NGO who are focussing on human rights. Besides running the Marathon there were also some parties, benefit diners and other runs where they wanted to collect money with. To create a whole between this different activities they asked me to design the menu for the dinner, the poster for the party and the T-shirts sold on the party. They all were represented by the ‘running’ shoes to see as well on the shirts above.

CREATIVE FESTIVAL - WIJ + ZIJ(People’s choice award)
To inspire and influence the future bouwkunde
This is the submission for a weekend long workshop at the Delft University of Technology which focused on innovative ideas for the design of a new Faculty of Architecture in Delft. Contrary to the other teams, our team decided not to focus on the content of building or the program, but on the context - our daily life. We proposed a relocation of the faculty towards the beginning of the campus, instead of staying on the old location.
Architecture is a discipline that should be amongst the people, and close to them - in this case close to the city centre of Delft. A simple movement would in this case both bring the architect once again in the central position in society it deserves, while on the other hand also function as a gesture of hospitality towards the other students on campus, creating a mutual understanding of the importance of social context in architecture.

Making models and Art
The last years on my university the technique of laser cutting has grown. We were able to learn to work with different techniques and materials. Using laser cutting in models is not that innovative anymore as it was a few years ago, but nevertheless I do think it is a strong way of visualize ideas in both 2D as 3D.

Jeckyll & Hyde
The Jeckyll & Hyde musical was the result of one year working with a group of 6 other people on the production of a theater play. We had tasks such as finding the cast, producer, conductor, sing-coach, location and building an outdoor theater with a quite small budget.
It was a year of learning by doing, continues motivating people, trial and error, and a lot of effort. But this was definitely al worth it, at the end there were 6 performances, an enormous amount of spectators and a great decor both day and night.
