INTRODUCTION. This architecture portfolio is a compilation of my personal and academic work done during my studies at the Technical University of Delft and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ). Through my Masters degree I focussed my research on digital fabrication and computation as method to achieve more sustainable and sociably responsible design strategies.
In my work, I address these issues from different angles of research: progressive structures and digital fabrication; building process and social responsibility; and the use of sustainable low impact materials. Through this portfolio I will use these interests as themes as guides to explain my projects.
STRUCTURE, PROCESS AND MATERIAL.
THIJS VAN DER LELY | ARCHITECTURE | PORTFOLIO 2015
Growing up in the overpopulated cities of Bangkok and Jakarta for 10 years, have influenced my outlook on life and architecture. At a young age I became intrigued by the stark contrasts between the “sterile� Netherlands and the polluted South East Asian metropolises. Over time I developed a sense of responsibility towards the way we use materials and consume energy. I believe well thought-out architecture and urban design can have a major impact on quality of life and the solving of these problems whilst it pushes to improve and innovate.

Although Chicago is the third largest city in the US it is also one of the worst recycling cities, as it only recycles 8% of its waste. (New York 68%, Los Angeles 76%) My research focussed on the regeneration of industrial area’s that have fallen into decline. The urban strategy targeted new sustainable industries and companies focussed on digital manufacturing. As catalyst project I designed a factory for a company that recycles plastics and turns them into the base product for 3D-printing, filament. Using Magnetic Density Separation, a technique developed by the Urban Mining Corps in the Netherlands, plastic could be recycled with higher efficiency and become a higher quality end product ready for remolding and extrusion into filament. As result, turning all plastic waste into potentially new building material. My architectural focus became, how can we build just from plastic waste and 3D-filament? This strategy would allow a building that can be printed, erected, and at end of life be shredded. This shredded waste could then be again transformed into new filament, this building strategy would allow buildings to become fully recyclable.

15 3D printing buildings from waste. Using plastic as a main building material a major factor that dominated the outcome of the design was buckling. A mayor opportunity of 3D-printing was that it allowed me to design unique building elements that are specific to the building form. Additionally it allowed me to print elements as fully finished products including, detail, structure and insulation. To allow the opportunity to grow with the company or let other companies expand using the same method I designed an algorithm that would only use foundation line input, spatial and heating demands, and return a building form ready for fabrication.

Embedded functionality through 3D printing. Printing detailing specific to the requirements of building blocks allowed the possibility to leave open cavities where plugin components could be added. Systems included a PV-panel for its own energy necessities and a LED-light or ventilation system. All panels communicated through a wireless network, through which the building could THE FILAMENT FACTORY run autonomously.
17 Inf-Ornament. Using a progressive collapse analysis on the building blocks showed which blocks where more essential to the structural integrity of the building. This information was translated to ornament the blocks. As result builders could read the buildings structural information through its ornaments and know where to begin when de constructing or changing its form.

2014-2015 ETH ZURICH, ROBOTIC AND DIGITAL FABRICATION PROF. GRAMAZIO & PROF. KOHLER EXTRUDED STRUCTURES. (TEAM 2P. / 6P.) ROLE: DESIGN SCRIPTING
In the elective course “Extruded Structures” we explored the design potentials of robotically printed mesh structures. Initially starting with conventional triangulated space frame structures, we expanded our research towards combined multi-sided polygons like rectangles and hexagons, and developed custom printing sequences for non-standard spatial frames through Rhino and Python. These were fabricated as continuous extrusions at a scale of 1:10 using one Universal Robot UR5 robotic arm with a custom-built ABS filament extruder. Further differentiation strategies included three-dimensional grid extension, cantilevering, bridging and free-form supports. The findings were directly incorporated into the design and production of the installation “Iridescence Print” at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris during the exhibition L’Usage des formes curated by Robert Stadlers. Iridescence Print was the up till then the world’s largest printed 3D-structure and held 16m³ in volume. My role during the fabrication of the final piece was the aesthetical design and scripting of the exhibition piece, focussing on deformation of the form, guiding of visitors flows, luring site lines and scripting the intended warped murray effect the piece had from specific points.

Our physical reality is slowly being digitalized. The internet of things is activating objects to a point that digital and physical worlds start to blur. In the minor Interactive Environments we were asked to design an ecosystem of architectural objects through new digital fabrication methods, that engage humans to interact in new ways with their surroundings. MODular Interactive Installation. Modii’s goal as an interactive environment is to create a balance in the number of people between the two sides of the installation. In order to do this, Modii lures visitors in and guide them through the structure by using light and movement. My role as head of design and scripter was to design the form that would allow the interactions to take place and be detailed enough to digitally fabricate. Modii’s structure is completely digitally fabricated, and each part is unique to its specific purpose and location. Its form I scripted in Grasshopper, Kangaroo and optimised through Galapagos, balancing between structural and fabrication constraints. Fabrication was done through file-to-factory principles and made with laser cutting and CNC-milling machines.

2011 STYLOS & FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE FOLLY, STYLOS DESIGN COMPETITION
Stylos, the student organisation of the Faculty of Architecture at the TUDelft asked its students through a design competition, to design a “folly� near to the entrance of the faculty. Its design needed to inspire the students, relate to the city Delft and take an active stand in relation to sustainability. To this question I designed a structure build up out of old wooden railway sleepers. At that moment, the former train station of Delft was being redesigned and the location of the former tracks relocated. Railway sleepers where spread out through the city along the old railway track. As this material was purposed to be thrown away the cost would be near to nothing. My designed proposed to use these wooden beams as main structure. As building material the sleepers would allow the structure to be erected with a minimal carbon footprint. My design proposed to lace the railway sleepers through pre-bend metal rods creating a fan like pavilion to open and close along the flow of students and visitors of the faculty. The design would be easy to construct in a day and fully deconstructable after use.

Itambo Boya (or Back Bone in South African) is a rule based aggregated urban system and building design strategy made for the urban poor, and specified for the BT Section of the Khayalitsha township in Cape Town. Working together with the local NGO, Ikayalami, and the Digital Simulation course of the Information Architecture chair of the ETHZ, I designed a practical implementation of an organization design algorithm. Currently the BT section is a collection of 64 improvised aluminium shacks, housing 3 to 10 family members per shack, sharing 12 toilets in total. The materiality is made to conform to the strict budget restrictions of its inhabitants, using locally available materials and labour force. Its urban setup increases social control through the addition of courtyards, and effectively stimulates and regulates future growth. The design allows all families to have their own toilet and the possibility to expand to encompass vertical growth, whilst keeping the structural integrity of the building. As addition to the housing expansion, a community centre and a church is added to BT. As evidence to its success, the NGO Ikhayalami and the Urban ThinkTank built the first 16 homes based on this design in the summer of 2015.

BT Section; “unsafe” due to chaotic urban plan and no social control of undefined space.
The courtyard structure of the new BT Section creates social control of space.
The implementation of the backbone can start of the building process without the need to clear the land of shacks.
In result, the backbone creates an social organization for the BT section, functions as a firebreak and forms a stable element as core to the new shacks.

2010-2011 TUDELFT, PUBLIC BUILDING BACHELOR PROJECT 02
In the middle of the lake Ketelmeer lies an unusual island named IJseloog. Functioning as sludge depot for lake dredging, its remote location and little human contact resulted in it becoming a sanctuary and breading ground for migrating birds. To create awareness for the fleeting of the natural environment, the national government commissioned a museum to be build. Here bird- and nature enthusiasts can come to experience and study the complex ecosystem that grew out of this man-made structure. The design of the museum is based on the concept of the withdrawal of man in nature and the growth of new natural habitats. What happens when we leave our former structures? How can the environment take over and how can this inspire the erection of functional ruins? The museum is built with materials that have low carbon emission and would not be harmful to wildlife if left untreated. The climate systems of the building are chosen in relation to the possibility to use passive and positive energy as main concept to keep the building running. If the building would eventually loose its function, the natural vegetation can take over and the building can function as part of the habitat for birds and contribute to its local micro-climate.

DE HEIHUT.
A FAMILY, A HOUSE AND A TREE.

VACATION HOME FOR 2 FAMILIES. FAM. DE BALBIAN VERSTER
About 100 years ago, the painter Rie de Balbian Verster-Bolderheij bought a country side cabin in the east of the Netherlands. When buying the house, she planted three large trees to shade the cabin from direct sunlight. The home was passed on to her children and grandchildren who and is a vacation home until today. The Heihut needed to be renovated. During the initial renovation asbestos was found and the choice was made for it to be torn down. In addition, for safety reasons we had to cutdown the three old trees. My concept for the new Heihut was to use the three old trees as main construction material. The new home was to become more sustainable and easier to maintain over a long period of time. In the communal area of the house, the wood of grandmother’s trees spans over the space creating a roof under which the kitchen, dining- and living room are located. This area opens a view at three sides, all looking out over the forest having their own terraces for different parts of the day. Two private cabins are located at the north side of the roof, each with their own bathroom and two bedrooms.
