Graduationproject Dwelling MSC3&4 - New Living Concepts
Re-interpretation of the allotmentgarden in the city, as part of a new living strategy. An old in-dustrial area with a to-be redevelopped station is transformed into a green living environment while allowing high density planning.
This project was part of an exposition in “The day of the Architecture” on 27 june 2010 in the “T.O.P.” at Delft. For more information on this project visit http://www.groengedacht.nl (Dutch).
with 3D imaging. From personal intrest I’m quick in learning new software, and often experiment with new visualisation techniques.
designing through scales
Part of graduating, was “The Garden Strip”. In this building, the main focus was on architec-ture and durability. Besides ecological durabil-ity, social durability was realized by using allot-ment gardens in which the gardeners could garden. Gardening as a shared activity, binds dwellers and visitors.
By stacking dwellings and designing the struc-ture to allow gardening on the roofs . The Gar-den Strip allows visitors to enter the gardening community by connecting the routes on the roof with the public space.

Overview designing and more
My projects characterize themselves by their conceptual approach, and emphasize on (3d movie-) presentations. Besides design I was also
active in organization, for example as a student assistant during the symposium “African Per-spectives” at the TUDelft.

Waveconceptual challenge
During the bachelor I had the chance to ex-periment with different design strategies. In the search for a method of my own, working with clear concepts helped me direct my design.
In this bachelor 6 project, “Wave”, I designed a floating administrative building for the founda-tion “De Veerhaven” in Rotterdam. It contains functions like a restaurant and small exposition space for visitors. Being part of an old harbor, wood and copper was used to blend in with the character of the surrounding.
idea to create a “portable” borrowing station for books.
This design was part of the 2nd semester of the master. The book is the main focus of design. By playing with transparency, the steel mesh and the minimal use of color emphasize the indi-vidual books. The design resulted in a detailed model that represented the endresult 1:20.
Bookstationmethods of presentation
Besides using programs like Adobe, Autodesk and Maya 3d, tactile presentations are still very important to me. These vary from quick studies to real show models.
Sitting in the train, I took part in a survey. I was asked if I would be intrested in borrowing books at the station if they were available. I took this
3d visualisation to help clarify the material concept.
The floor and roof consist of 600mm x 600mm panels, enough for one person to stand on or under. The artificial light is integrated within these panels and is dynamically adjustable. In this design, the light creates an effect of depth, almost as if pages are randomly put on top of eachother. This breaks the geometry, allowing changing interpretations of the interior.
THE BOOKSTONE
Urban Thermeliving and leisure
Part of the master 1 requirements, was designing with a fixed vol-ume of 40m x 40m x 40m. We re-interpreted the bathouses from an-tiquity in a modern context. This building is situated in the Heijplaat, an old industrial harbor. The “Urban Therme” contains dwellings dat revolve around a bathing route, and connect to public baths.

creating new public space
In this Master 2 project, an excisting old prision building is integrated within a new public pro-gram. A continuous passage leads trough new spaces containing exposition halls, auditoria and a tourist office. The added volumes em-phasize and border the square, by working with height differences these borders are broken.

research
Research played an integral part throughout the design progress of the graduation project. The goal was to search for the essence of the allotment garden. Visiting the gardens and the garden communities brought to the attention that the garden was disappearing from within the city to the edges.

The wealthy and sick 19th century citizen es-caped the industrial city, to recover from T.B.C. in a place with plentiful of clean air and sun. To address this need, the balcony was developed. Doctors, architects and investors worked in-tensely together to create sanatoria. The emer-gence of concrete coincided, and great new architecture was build.
History Thesiswriting
During my study I enjoyed writing several essays, with my history thesis being the most important. It was meant to deepen the understanding of the graduation project in a historical sense.
Following a short thread on the development of the balcony and flat roofs, I encountered the Swiss village Davos. Historically its known as the “Capital of tuberculosis of Europe”.
The question is, do we wish for this to contin-ue? Is there no place for the allotment garden within the city? The research became the start-ing point of transforming the allotment garden concept to include it in high density city plan-ning.

Objectives:My motivation is based in the social added value of the work I do, as an architect by improving our living environment by design. I am educated and experienced in using theoretical and conceptual approaches, and my family background is one of practical experience. In my work I’m looking for this ballance between practibility and its justification in a bigger context. In my graduation project I could implement my ideals, collaborating with a fellow student. I believe that teamwork leads to the best results.
Education:
2001-2009 Architecture - Technical University of DelftGraduated 6-11-2009, department “Dwelling”. The graduation project was called “Allotment gard-ning as a strategy for new living concepts”. A social demand of private green and gardening and the disappearance of allotment gardens within the city, is used to rethink the function of (public-) green in the city. (Graded 9/10)
1994-2000 High School “Van der Capellen Scholengemeenschap Zwolle”

Curriculum Vitae Msc. Niels Lyklema Personal details
Letter of recommendation
“Dear madam/sir,
As Professor at the TUDelft, department Building Technology, I was responsible for my part within the symposium “Af-rican Perspectives”. We have been looking for a student assistant who could support the department, a go-getter. Niels Lyklema was introduced, and worked in full satisfaction for our department from 1 October 2007 till 1 February 2008.
Next to supporting activities, he took on an exposition Bamboo and a work-shop Bamboo and Loam. Niels dem-onstrated that he could work indepen-dently and with enthusiasm. Soon he “put his shoulder to the wheel”, as to streamline the technical aspects too. In a short period he gathered a group of people around himself, profession-als and interested. He showed that he could develop contacts and maintain good alignment with others troughout the department.
In our progress interviews he informed me short and concise about his work. He demonstrated not only being able to work targeted, but showing initiative too by delivering his own propositions. The symposium became a profound success, and thanks to Niels.
It was a pleasure to have had Niels working in our department, I can highly recommend him.
