SKILLS

THIS PORTFOLIO GIVES A SMALL OVERVIEW OF MY PERSONAL WORK. FROM BACHELOR TO MASTER TO A POSTGRADUATE MASTER, MY PERSONAL ATTITUDE TOWARDS ARCHITECTURE IS SHAPED. A STRONG AWARENESS OF THE SOCIAL, ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMICAL FEATURES WITHIN OUR FIELD, COMBINED WITH A CONSTANT JUMP BETWEEN URBAN, ARCHITECTURAL AND EVEN LANDSCAPE SCALES ARE IMPORTANT FACTORS WITHIN MY WORK. THE CHOICE TO CONTINUE WITH A POSTGRADUATE MASTER ON HUMAN SETTLEMENTS (UN HABITAT) SUPPORTS THIS ATTITUDE. AFTER BUILDING A SCHOOL IN PERU AS A YOUNG VOLUNTEER AND 3 YEARS OF ENGLISH MASTERS, I WANT TO CONTINUE WORKING IN AN INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENT. DIFFERENT CULTURES AND VISIONS KEEP CHALLENGING AND DEFINING ONE’S OWN VISION.

I ALSO WANT TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO THANK THE TEACHERS THAT HELPED ME FORM VISION ON ARCHITECTURE, AND ACTUALLY MYSELF.

HOPING THAT THIS BOOKLET GIVES YOU A QUITE THUROUGH IMAGE OF THE PERSON THAT I AM (BECOMING), YOURS SINCERELY,

LIVING IN A QUARRY | 3BaAr 2008-2009

mikadoTHE STRUCTURAL CONCEPT OF MIKADO STICKS IS CHALLENGING THE MASSIVE ENVIRONMENT OF THE QUARRY. THE HOUSES ARE CONNECTED WITH THE CONCEPT OF A CLOSE NEIGHBORHOOD, WITH A CLEAR TRANSITION BETWEEN PUBLIC > SEMI-PUBLIC > PRIVATE. PUBLIC TRANSPORT IS ADJOINED IN THE FORM OF A TRAMLINE ENDING IN THE MAIN AXIS, WHICH PASSES ALONG ALL PUBLIC FACILITIES. THE HOUSES WORKED OUT ARE (TOP > BOTTOM): COMMUNE LIVING, TWO COUPLED HOUSES AND A SINGLE ZEN HOUSE. RIGHT: FAMILY HOUSE.

_ACCESS FOR ALL - Schindler Award ‘10

SCHINDLER AWARD | 1MaInt 2009-2010

[IN COLLABORATION WITH SHO HIGUCHI | PATRICIA HLAVENKOVA | TOMEK KROTOWSKI | GONÇALO NUNO MADUREIRA | ELISA MIGUEL]

UNIVERSAL DESIGN AND ALL-SENSES APPROACH IN THE MASTERPLAN AS WELL AS THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDINGS. SPORTS AND RECREATION ARE THE MAIN TOPIC ON THIS FORMER OLYMPIC SITE IN BERLIN. THE SCHINDLER AWARD CHALLENGES US TO THINK FURTHER. THE CONCEPT EXISTS OUT OF 4 ENTITIES, BRINGING SIMILAR FACILITIES TOGETHER AT 1 SPOT. THERE IS A CULTURAL PAVILLION, PROFESSIONAL SPORTS PAVILLION CONNECTED WITH COMMON SPORTS PAVILLION AND A LEISURE PAVILLION. ENCLOSURE IS ONLY THEORETICAL, ALTHOUGH EMPHASIZED BY A DIFFERENT TYPE OF WALKING PATH – PAVEMENT TO CREATE EASY ORIENTATION ON THE SITE.

THE SCHEMES ABOVE TELL THE STORY OF ACCESSIBILITY FOR THE HISTORICAL OPEN AIR THEATRE ON THE OLYMPIC SITE. BY AN EXTERIOR ENCLOSED ELEVATOR, YOU CAN GET FROM THE ENTRANCE TO THE SEATS. THE PUBLIC TOILETS ARE POSITIONED AT THE WIDER ROWS, SO THAT EVERYONE CAN ACCESS THEM EASILY. THE KIOSKS WITH TICKET SERVICE ARE POSITIONED ON KEYPOINTS BETWEEN THE PATHS LEADING TO THE THEATRE AND THE SEATS.

CHRONOLOGY

LOCATION SCALE 1:1000

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

_HEALTH shelter THE SINT BAAFS ABBEY, WITH ITS RICH BUT SAD HISTORICAL BACKGROUND, ITS POSITION TOWARDS THE CITY CENTRE OF THE CONTEMPORARY GENT AS WE KNOW IT WITH THE THREE CHURCHES AND ITS RICH SPIRIT, SEEMED TO BE THE PERFECT LOCATION FOR THE POSITION OF A HEALTH SHELTER. NOWADAYS, THE ABBEY IS MORE THEN HALFLY DISTROYED, BUT IT IS TILL THE PRIDE OF THE MACHARIUS NEIGHBORHOOD, ONE OF THE OLDEST IN GENT. WITH A BIG VARIETY OF CULTURES, AGES AND SOCIAL BACKGROUNDS, THE ABBEY FORMS A KEY POINT FOR LEISURE, MEETING AND RESTING, WITH A FEELING OF SAFETY, HEALTH AND PROTECTION BETWEEN THE RUIN WALLS. THIS GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEFINE THESE STRENGTHS AND LOOSE THE FAKE ATTITUDE THAT IS USED NOW. THE STONES MUSEUM AND GREEN CHURCH IN THE PARK ARE ONLY POOR ATTEMPTS TO FREEZE THE PAST, WITHOUT ACTUALLY USING THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SPACE.

SCHEMES OF LOCATED EXISTING PROBLEMS ON THE SITE


THE MAIN CHALLENGE OF THE SITE IS THAT IT HAS PLENTY OF ARTIFICIAL BOUNDARIES. THE FENCES MAKE PEOPLE FEEL CAGED INSTEAD OF GUIDED, WITH THE CONSEQUENCE OF CREATING NO CHOICES FOR THOSE WHO CROSS THE SITE. THE BORDERS OF THE AREA ARE NOT PROTECTIVE, BUT AGRESSIVE AND VIOLENT. THE SITE CREATES SOME EXPECTATIONS BY HIDDEN ELEMENTS, BUT THE ANSWER IS A MEANINGLESS EMPTY SPACE. A MALFUNCTIONING HIERARCHY BETWEEN SPACES LEAVES THE VISITOR CONFUSED AND UNINVITED TO SEE THE INSIDE OF THE ABBEY. THE GREEN AREA CREATES A VOID BETWEEN PEOPLE AND CULTURES.

HEALTH SHELTERING THIS UNIVERSAL RECOGNITION IT IS NOT ONLY POSSIBLE TO HEAL THE INDIVIDUAL, BUT ALSO THE COMPLEX NEIGH

PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO VISIT AND STAY AT THE ABBEY.

_MARIENBORGTRACKING HISTORY,

EXPLORING THE FUTURE[IN COLLABORATION WITH LINDA MACH | ELLA PIETRAZKO |

JUSTYNA PIETRZYKOWSKA]

TRACKING HISTORY

THE SITE OF MARIENBORG IN TRONDHEIM, NORWAY, HAS A SPECIFIC INDUSTRIAL AND HISTORICAL VALUE. TRAPPED BETWEEN RIVER NIVELDA AND A HILL FILLED WITH HOUSING, IT FORMS A HEAVY BORDER WHICH YOU CANNOT CROSS. OPENING IT UP MEANS CREATING ACCESS TO THE RIVER BORDER, ADDING FUNCTIONS WITHOUT DISTURBING THE URBAN-RURAL GRADIENT. TRACKS FROM THE HILL ARE CONTINUED THROUGH THE SIDE TOWARDS AND CROSSING THE RIVER, ADDING A BRIDGE TO CONNECT WITH THE CITY CENTRE.

THREE ARCHETYPE BUILDINGS WERE USED FOR TRAIN REPAIR, A FUNCTION THAT IS NOW MOVED. THE BUILDINGS BECOME EMPTY ECHOES. THEREFOR, THEY HAVE TO BE HANDLED CAREFULLY, BUT ALSO WITH A STRONG ATTITUDE TOWARDS FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. THE MASTERPAN SHOWS HOW THE TRACKS THAT ENTER THE BUILDING FORM RAYS OF LIGHT AT NIGHT, TO MAKE THE SITE VISIBLE FOR ITS SURROUNDINGS. BOXES WITH FUNCTIONS, AS SEEN IN THE STATION HERE, ARE TRANSLUCENT YET NOT TOTALLY TRANSPARENT. A HINT OF ACTION AND MOVEMENT, UNDISTURBING THE HISTORICAL ATMOSPHERE. THE MAIN TRACK IS FILLED WITH WATER, A REMINDER OF THE RIVER NIVELDA NEXT TO THE SITE.

THE THREE BUILDINGS EACH HAVE THEIR OWN FUNCTIONS: ART PLATFORM IN THE BUILDING NEXT TO A MORE RURAL AREA, ALREADY USED BY A MODERN ART MOVEMENT, THE NEW STATION MOVED AWAY FROM THE RIVER BORDER IN THE MIDDLE BUILDING, COMBINED WITH SHOPS, AND A SUPERMARKET IN THE ONE CLOSEST TO THE CITY CENTER. AN INDUSTRIAL PARK BETWEEN THE RE-USED PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND THE NEW HOUSING AREA ANSWERS TO THE GRADIENT FROM URBAN TO RURAL. AN AVENUE GOES FROM LANE TOWARDS TRACKS FILLED WITH FLOWERS AND A GRASS FIELD, AND ENDS UP IN WILD NATURE. THE RIVER BORDER OFFERS PUBLIC AND LESS PUBLIC PLATFORMS, WHERE PEOPLE CAN REST, TALK, READ, MEET. THE HOSPITAL ACCROSS THE RIVER CAN USE THE SITE AS AN OUTDOOR ATTRACTION POINT.

| 13


ROTATING MANSION

LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE, BUT WITH THE PAST IN THE BACK OF OUR HEADS, IS HOW WE STARTED TO DESIGN THE NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. THE FOOTPRINT IS BASED ON A TRADITIONAL NORWEGIAN HOUSE, WHERE THE CONCEPT OF LIVING TOGETHER IS NOT A STRANGE NEW HYPE. WITH THE BASIC IDEA OF NATURE AND OUTDOOR SPACES BELONGING TO THE COMMUNITY, A GRADIENT FROM CLEARLY PUBLIC TOWARDS MORE PRIVATE STARTED TO GET FORM.

ROTATING PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SPACE IN AN UPWARDS SPIRAL GIVES NEW EXPERIENCES ON EVERY LEVEL, CREATING VIEWS TOWARDS THE INDUSTRIAL PARK AND HILL AS WELL AS THE RIVER AND THE CITY CENTRE. THE WINDOWS OF THE SEMI-PUBLIC SPOTS ARE GRASPING THE OUTSIDE, WITH WINDOW FRAMES IN THE EXTERIOR OF THE FACADE, WHILE THE PRIVATE HOUSING AREAS HAVE INTERIOR GLASS CUTS, FRAMING THE SURROUNDINGS IN AN INTROVERT WAY.

BECAUSE OF A SHIFT IN THE GRID AROUND TORINO'S LANDMARK MOLE ANTONELLI-ANA, THREE DIFFERENT SQUARES BECOME MORE INTERRELATED. BY DEFINING THEIR SPECIFIC CHARACTER, THIS RE-ARRANGEMENT IS CONTINUED AND EVEN STRENGTH-END. THE OUTSIDE THEATRE IN THE SECOND, URBAN SQUARE CAPTURES RAIN-WATER, SO THAT THE ELEMENT IS ATTRACTIVE BOTH IN SUMMER AND IN WINTER.

regeneration of modernist “bottleneck”LUCHTBAL IS A PLACE WITH A VERY SPECIFIC CHARACTER. MOST OBVIOUSLY, IT IS AN ESTRANGED ISLAND BETWEENANTWERP CITY, THE HARBOR AND THE SURROUNDING SUBURBS DUE TO THE HEAVY INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE HIGHWAY,RAILWAY AND THE NOORDERLAAN. BUT THERE ARE MORE HIDDEN FACTORS WHICH HAVE MAYBE EVEN ABIGGER INFLUENCE ON THE ISOLATION OF THIS SITE. THE GARDEN CITY AND THE MODERNISTIC HOUSING TOWERSARE THE WITNESSES OF A HUGE SOCIAL AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND. ONCE YOU SPEAK TO THE COMMUNITYAND THE PEOPLE WORKING AT LUCHTBAL, A VERY FRAGILE AND FRACTURED PICTURE STARTS TO APPEAR.

PHASE 1: NEW CENTER

DESIGN: INTERACT | INTERPLAY[COLLAB YUVRAJ CHAUHAN | LIESBETH HAUTEKIET | JOSEPHINE MALONZA]DUE TO THE CHANGE OF SOCIAL POLICY, THE SITE, WHICH WAS ONCE A GIFT TO THE PEOPLE WORKING FOR THE CITY OF ANTWERP AND MORE SPECIFICALLY IN THE HARBOR, HAS NOW BECOME A VERY COM-PLEX MIX OF DIFFERENT CULTURES, AGES AND SOCIAL CLASSES. THE VAST ELDER COMMUNITY STILL HAS QUITE SOME FINANCIAL CA-PACITY, WHILE THE RECENT INHABITANTS ARE FINANCIALLY INCA-PABLE OF SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY AND THUS NOT TAKING PART IN MANY SOCIAL ACTIVITIES. THE MIX OF DIFFERENT CULTURES AND LANGUAGES, TOGETHER WITH THE IMPOSSIBILITY TO MEET EACH OTHER BY ACCIDENT IN A COMMON ACTIVITY, CREATES HUGE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN THE POPULATION OF LUCHTBAL. THERE-FORE, WE SAW THE NECESSITY OF CREATING A NEW CENTRAL SPACE, WHERE INFORMAL AND FORMAL ACTIVITIES ARE MADE POSSIBLE.

| 21


adapt & regenerateTHE ABANDONED FACTORY OF GENERAL MOTORS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE NOORDERLAAN IS A BIG EMPTY INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN THE HARBOR FABRIC, WHICH CAN BE USED AS A CATALYST FOR THE NEW CENTRAL PARK OF LUCHTBAL. SINCE SPORTS ACTIVITIES WERE PART OF THE MODERNISTIC IDEA OF CREATING A COMMUNITY, AND THE FACT THAT THE SPORTS FACILITIES ARE STILL USED BOTH FORMALLY BY THE CITY OF ANTWERP AND THE SUBURBS OF MERKSEM AND EKEREN, AND INFORMALLY BY THE PEOPLE OF LUCHTBAL, CREATING SPORTS FUNCTIONS INSIDE GM WAS THE NEXT LOGICAL STEP. THIS BUILDING, TOGETHER WITH THE NEW CENTRAL PARK, CAN THEN GENERATE A HIGHER DENSITY AROUND THE PARK, SPREADING OUT ALONG THE NOORDERLAAN AND FILLING UP THE VAST, INACCESSIBLE EMPTY GREEN WITHIN THE SITE.

THE TITLE ‘SERVE THE CITY|SERVE THE VILLAGE’ DISPLAYS A SHIFT IN MAO’S SLOGAN FROM 1944. AS OUR SITE TAIHU IS LOCATED ON THE FRINGE OF BEIJING, A VASTLY GROWING METROPOLE, THE AREA IS DESTINED TO BECOME PART OF THE CITY FABRIC. IN ORDER TO KEEP THE IDENTITY OF TAIHU, WHICH CONSISTS OUT OF A CLEAR CONTRAST BETWEEN DENSE TRADITIONAL VILLAGES AND OPEN FIELDS DEFINED BY AN IRRIGATING CANAL SYSTEM, TAIHU HAS TO SERVE THE CITY BY BECOMING A VALUABLE ASSET TO IT.

TO ANSWER ON HOW TO SERVE BEIJING, WE LOOKED AT SOME OF ITS MAIN PROBLEMS. THE CITY PRODUCES A HUGE AMOUNT OF GARBAGE, HAS VERY POLLUTED WATER INFRASTRUCTURE FLOWING THROUGH THE SITE, IS CLOUDED BY HEAVILY POLLUTED AIR, AMONGST THE HIGHEST IN CHINA, AND HAS AN EXPLODING POPULATION IN DESPERATE NEED FOR NEW HOUSING.TURNING THESE PROBLEMS INTO SOMETHING VALUABLE LED US TO A REVERSION OF THE NIMBY IDEA (‘NOT IN MY BACKYARD’) TO A WIMBY CONCEPT: WELCOME IN MY BACKYARD.

THE CONCEPT EXISTS OUT OF 2 SYSTEMS INSIDE THE AREA. FIRSTLY, GREY WATER FROM THE VILLAGES IS TREATED WITH REED PONDS INTEGRATED WITHIN THE CLUSTER´S FABRIC. REUSING THIS WATER IN THE HOUSEHOLD SAVES UP TO 60% OF FRESH WATER. THE SECOND PART OF THE SYSTEM DEALS WITH THE SEWAGE FROM THE VILLAGE CLUSTERS AND CITY FABRIC NORTH-WEST OF THE SITE. AN AEREATED LAGOON SYSTEM IS MOST COMPATABLE WITH THE COLD CLIMATE OF BEIJING AND CONSISTS OUT OF 3 LOW TECH TREATMENT PHASES AFTER PRELIMINARY FILTERING.

EXISTING AGRICULTURAL AND BUILT LANDSCAPE FEATURES CONFIGURE THE NEW WATERSCAPE. FINALLY THE SYSTEM ALLOWS TO HAVE RECREATIONAL WATER ELEMENTS DOWNSTREAM AND IRRIGATED LAND. THE LIANGSHUI AND XIATAIHOU RIVERS ARE SEPARATELY TREATED BY PLANTS AND SHELLFISH ALONG THEIR COURSE WITHIN A CONTROLLED AREA DIFING THE BORDERS OF THE SITE.
