Unfinished Building is a twoweek design project that explores building proposals of unfinished and adaptable nature by making large, crude timber models in scale 1:25. The project experiments with scale and proportions and reflects on building elements, structural logic, and construction paneling. It concludes with selecting a setting and designing the composition of model (architecture) photography. exhibition

The Medical Complex is a collective thesis project examining healthcare for the twenty-first century, undertaken by twelve international students at The Berlage. It explores a comprehensive approach to prevention, diagnosis, treatment, wellbeing, fitness, and care, with each student designing specific departments or integrated systems within the complex. Set on the site of Tony Garnier's Édouard Herriot Hospital in Lyon, originally completed in 1933 and currently undergoing renovations, the project reflects on the modernist ideal of healthcare architecture and reconsiders the contemporary perception of health.

The quarry hides in the woods, a feature artificially created then abandoned, an abrupt pit separated from the city by a highway.

Routinized absurdity and absentminded surrealism created a sense of anachronism, turning the quarry into an unusual, futuristic relic.

The project proposes the reuse of an artificially modified natural landscape in the context of a declining rustic-belt city. design

La Nouvelle Vague is a competition for public seating as a piece of urban furniture. We interpret The French New Wave through a wide shot in a film: while the camera proceeds smoothly, actors come and go in the scene, each a piece of information that constitutes the whole image. Free movements of individuals together create meaning for the collective.

An ongoing exploration of architectural representation through the construction of physical objects.

Amsterdam 2023 collective research project The Berlage generation 34 collaboration with Andrea Ramos City Atlas investigates mechanisms of urban transformation in Amsterdam from the late sixteenth century to the present. Through the lens of six emblematic sites, it traces physical changes resulting from processes of urban expansion and renewal, from the adaptation or renovation of buildings and blocks to the demolition and reconstruction of whole streets and neighborhoods.

The project gathers information from archival sources to live-time satellite images to produce an atlas of synthetic drawings that reflect spatial transformations. With the aid of digital tools such as Allmaps and Placemark, it explores the possibility to overlay, compare, and annotate the built environment of Amsterdam at different moments in time.

The research is compiled in the format of a published atlas.

With the Second Extension of Amsterdam, Uilenburg and Marken were created at the eastern edge of the city within its old fortification walls. Uilenburg in the sixteenth century was a shipbuilding site with only a strip of land (1), and with the east-ward migration of the shipyards in the seventeenth century, canals were filled for more land (2). Influenced by the early twentieth century concept of the modern city, the island was re-planned by the municipality following Woningwet 1901, with the two old streets merged into Nieuwe Uilenburgerstraat and all houses in between demolished (3). East of Uilenburg, the island Marken experienced a more drastic transformation. Development of the tram and increasing car use led to the dissolution of Marken, where Valkenburgerstraat in the middle was widened to serve as a connection to Noord (4) and the eastern half faded into the urban fabric with the fill of Markengracht (5).

Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth century, Uilenburg was populated by warehouses and residential houses that served as homes for mainly Jewish immigrants (1). It was common for the houses to have a storefront on the street level, rendering the streets vibrant commercial spaces for small businesses and shoppers (2). With the Woningwet 1901, most of the residential units on the island were declared “unlivable” and demolished in the early twentieth century. In their place social housing blocks rose under the supervision of Municipal Housing Services (3). Street-level life was also altered by the policy. Nieuwe Uilenburgerstraat was made wide for traffic (4), flanked with parking and speed bumps that no longer encourage active pedestrian activities. Many nonresidential structures that survived the demolition were readapted for residential purposes instead of demolished by the end of the twentieth century. (5)

Centuries of transformation 21st 20 19 18 17 16th Unrealized proposals

The homes that existed on Uilenburg vary in size and spatial organization. The historical houses had a typical Dutch canal house layout, albeit smaller in size and frequently a whole family would occupy only one room (1). Following the Woningwet 1901 demolition, new housing blocks were built under the commission of social housing associations that emerged by the end of the nineteenth century to improve the living environment of urban workers. The most prominent housing block on Uilenburg was designed by Johannes Hendrik Mulder in “Van der Tas type” with a four-room layout and a balcony (2) meant for a family. By the end of the twentieth century, old warehouses on the island were renovated into homes. Nieuwe Uilenburgerstraat 13-23 was converted into an apartment complex with a courtyard (3), which reveals the contemporary need for small, one- or two-room apartments with a shared outdoor space.

The Medical Complex is a collective thesis project that examines the spatial implications of twenty-first century prevention, diagnosis, treatment, wellbeing, fitness, and care through the design of a healthcare facility.

The project focuses on the existing Édouard Herriot Hospital in Lyon chosen for its rich architectural heritage, strategic position in the city's dense urban fabric, and its immediate accessibility to Lyon's citizens.

The Medical Complex seeks to integrate human-centered design principles and contemporary technologies while preserving the essence of Garnier's original "garden city for the sick" concept, reimagining the hospital as a civic architecture that enhances the well-being of all who interact with it, from patients and healthcare providers to visitors and residents.

The design of the surgical center creates de-medicalized areas alongside critical surgical spaces that encourage the sharing of knowledge, experiences, and consolation. It is equipped with an observation theater, a surgerybroadcasting room, a public courtyard with various waiting spaces, staff resting areas, and study spaces for students. This multifaceted approach enables the center to foster innovation in the field of surgery while supporting both clinical practice and education.

15 anatomical model surgical center photograph by MWA Hart Nibbrig for The Berlage/TU Delft

The anatomical models of the medical complex depart from the analogy between architecture and the human body. Presented as a series of 1:25 fragments, the models narrate the master plan and demonstrate the organization of departments.

The fragment of the surgical center is a section through an operating room, an observation theater, the corridor, the clean core, and a helipad shared by the whole complex. It explores the relationship between old and new constructions by revealing a piece of facade from the original pavilion engulfed by new structures.

19 the clinical trial film for the medical complex 2024 The Berlage led by Edwin Zwakman collaboration with Claire Demeyere

The clinical trial is a two-week representation experiment for the Medical Complex. Maquettes and scenography are designed to further elaborate on design aspects of select spaces in the healthcare facility. Building materials, lighting effects, colors, textures, patterns, and backgrounds are designed and tested through the lens of a camera, assuming a hypothetical gaze on the spaces.

Quick and easy material solutions are invented for mimicking real-life scenarios in a minature scale of 1:20.

Post-production, including filters, sounds, and cuts complement the somewhat theatrical models to create a series of fragmented narratives for the Medical Complex. https://vimeo.com/1030256856

The thermal baths project duplicates this sense of space-time displacement through varous scenes created by alternating materiality and transparency of the spaces.

People come for beach retreats, yet the remaining constructions of the past, half covered by earth and trees, pop out every now and then. Going through construction 220, a relic from a longterm preparation of a military operation that never happened, is like falling through a metaphorical rabbit hole which sends visitors to a mysterious landscape blurred by steam from the hot baths. As visitors float through spaces, they are constantly moving between different levels of lighting, sound, and enclosure, and at certain moments, through apertures on the SOUTH FACADE facade, get a glimpse of the exterior SCALE : 1’ = 1/16” “reality”. These moments of visual connectivity between the exterior and interior act as moments of reveal, as if peaking into the backstage of a theater.

29 la nouvelle vague Chengdu 2020 competition collaboration with Shihui Zhu

La Nouvelle Vague is a competition for public seating as a piece of urban furniture. We interpret The French New Wave through a wide shot in a film: while the camera proceeds smoothly, actors come and go in the scene, each a piece of information that constitutes the whole image. Free movements of individuals together create meaning for the collective.

Varing heights and widths of the net encourages any kind of "misuse" of the seating. Wider sections of the net allow two adults to lie side by side, narrower areas are better for sitting; children can go under higher sections, and the parts that are closer to the ground can be jumped over. The void in the middle could be completely meaningless, or can be converted into a temporary point of focus when actions such as discussions or performances take place inside.

31 the probe Syracuse 2019 design studio Syracuse Architecture

The quarry hides in the woods, a feature artificially created then abandoned, an abrupt pit separated from the city by a highway. Routinized absurdity and absent-minded surrealism created a sense of anachronism, turning the quarry into an unusual, futuristic relic.

The project proposes the reuse of an artificially modified natural landscape in the context of a declining city in the rustic-belt .

As a remnant of industrialization, the quarry symbolizes the past glory and achievements of Syracuse. The project choose to flood the quarry with trees, leaving parts of bare ground. The pit, small warehouses, abandoned metal equipment and rocks covered with graffitti are deliberately left out, like archipelagos poking out of sea water, revealing the past of the site.

The research center acts like a probe penetrating this artificially modified natural site. Observation decks are set at each different typological and vegetational area, taking "samples."
