Project Kaap is about a close group of friends that have started a commune together. The purpose of this commune is to find a new alternative, contemporary way of living. The dream they have is to create a place where they can live and work together. It has to be a place with studios, workspaces and a collective spaces where outsiders are welcome. It’s a sort of estate where Kaap is the center and functions as an intermediary that contributes to its surroundings and the landscape. It’s important that various parties can benefit from this plan. That is the ideology of Kaap.

The search for a suitable location takes place within a 15 kilometers radius around the city of Utrecht. On the Utrechtse Heuvelrug there are a lot of derelict sites waiting for reconstruction.

These places would be better off inhabited. The municipality of Utrechtse Heuvelrug own some of these sites. Two of them seem suitable for Kaap’s purpose. The sites are situated close to each other and as it happens located in the Kaapse Forest near by Doorn. Unfortunately, these sites are contaminated and remediating these sites is an expensive task. But there is a cheaper and more sustainable way; phytoremediation. Phytoremediation is the remediation of soil through plants.

There are two techniques of phytoremediation that can be used to clean up the contamination of the two sites. The first technique is to clean contamination in shallow soil (stable and solid). The other one is to clean contamination in more deeper soil (volatile and diffuse). Implementation of these techniques takes a lot of time and supervision. Consequently the role for Kaap is obvious: realizing their own housing wishes and the need to clean the pollution on the two sites. Kaap will remediate the soil and leave after 10 years when the soil is cleansed. The sites will have a purpose again and will be more valuable when Kaap has left. The two contaminated sites are situated in the historical estate zone Stichtse Lustwarande. In addition to the stakeholders, municipality Utrechtse Heuvelrug and the province of Utrecht, the forest administration plays an important role in the area.

The forest administration is the landlord of this area. It is their wish to connect open spaces in the forest and strengthen the efforts concerning ecology. Between the two sites there are also two other stakeholders: Villa Hoog Zand and the estate of De Ruiterberg. These two are also in de need of reconstruction.

The overall plan is to connect the two contaminated sites and add a new identity to this area. Kaap superpositions a new estate on top of existing estate of De Ruiterberg, the land of Villa Hoog Zand and the forest administration. The concept is to make a new estate in the classic set-up, using all cultural historical elements that traditionally belongs to an estate, but now molded in a new form with a contemporary design. The plan consists of a landscapezone, parkzone and a gardenzone.

At the northern site (landscapezone) situated at the top of the Heuvelrug an orchard with ‘civil engineered’ phytoremediation will be placed for the volatile deeper contamination. Between the two sites (park zone), wells are placed to monitor the contamination currents. Each well is strategically placed in the landscape and helps to restore the estate De Ruiterberg and the Villa Hoog Zand.

Around the wells elements from the cultural historical idiom of an a estate are placed (berceau, snake wall, axes, domes and follies). The southern site (gardenzone) will be filled with traditional phytoremediation and becomes the residential site of Kaap. Eventually the soil will be remediated, the estate will be restored, the ecological efforts will be strengthened and this part of the Stichtse Lustwarande will get back its former glory.

Architect, Master of Science Urbanist, Master of Science Landscape Architect, Master of Science Architects, urbanists and landscape architects learn the profession at the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture through an intensive combination of work and study. They work in small, partly interdisciplinary groups and are supervised by a select group of practising fellow professionals.

There is a wide range of options within the programme so that students can put together their own trajectory and specialisation.

With the inclusion of the course in Urbanism in 1957 and Landscape Architecture in 1972, the Academy is the only architecture school in the Netherlands to bring together the three spatial design disciplines under one roof.

Some 350 guest tutors are involved in teaching every year. Each of them is a practising designer or a specific expert in his or her particular subject. The three heads of department also have design practices of their own in addition to their work for the Academy. This structure yields an enormous dynamism and energy and ensures that the courses remain closely linked to the current state of the discipline.

The courses consist of projects, exercises and lectures. First-year and second-year students also engage in morphological studies. Students work on their own or in small groups. The design

projects form the backbone of the syllabus.

On the basis of a specific design assignment, students develop knowledge, insight and skills.

The exercises are focused on training in those skills that are essential for recognising and solving design problems, such as analytical techniques, knowledge of the repertoire, the use of materials, text analysis, and writing. Many of the exercises are linked to the design projects.

The morphological studies concentrate on the making of spatial objects, with the emphasis on creative process and implementation. Students experiment with materials and media forms and gain experience in converting an idea into a creation.

During the periods between the terms there are workshops, study trips in the Netherlands and abroad, and other activities. This is also the preferred moment for international exchange projects. The Academy regularly invites foreign students for the workshops and recruits wellknown designers from the Netherlands and further afield as tutors.

Graduates from the Academy of Architecture are entitled to the following titles: Architect, Master of Science; Urbanist, Master of Science and Landscape Architect, Master of Science.
