At the end of 2024 I recently completed my Master Urbanism at TU Delft. Before that I did the Bachelor Architecture and the Built Environment. In my projects I focus on the intersection between the human and ecological in urban and landscape design, which is exemplified in my master thesis Elements for Appropriation on the cultural and ecological values of seemingly left-over spaces in urban fringes. Below are some examples of projects I worked on during my Bachelor and Master at TU Delft.
My Urbanism master thesis, completed in October 2024. In it, I explore a better way to describe, design, and value intersitial urban spaces. Next to theoretical exploration, site analysis, and fieldwork, explorative design is used to imagine how these spaces could look and function to support and sustain the cultural and ecological values for the people and wildlife that make use of them, encourage bottom-up spacial development and inspire by illustrating what is possible.
An elective course of Landscape Architecture in collaboration with the artist collective Observatorium. In a group of 9 students, we developed a temporary physical intervention and a design to deal with the interstitial space of the Land of Chabot in Rotterdam. The website landvanchabot.nl was built as a ‘digital memory’ of the final exhibition day. You can also download a pdf version of the booklet we produced on our project.
This redesign of the Lijnbaan area in Rotterdam is a project from the first year of the master Urbanism at TU Delft. I chose to focus on creating a new ecological connection, while also adding living space to the Lijnbaan area, and improving social safety.
This research and design project was conducted in the first year of the master Urbanism at TU Delft. It is an imagination what the Dutch coastal city of Den Helder could look like if the sea level were to rise by 3 metres by the year 2100, and we would transition to a more hybrid way of living with the water.
