Disclosing Interstices

Exploration and interpretation of urban leftover spaces from the perspective of landscape architecture Leftover spaces are un-defined components of the city complementing to the ordered and functional urban spaces. This particularity makes them a relevant design subject. However, the design of leftover spaces poses a paradox between the frame of design and the spaces’ indeterminacy.…

Dikes in perspective

The dike as a landscape element takes on many shapes [1]. Depending on their form and location, dikes determine the ‘face’ of the Dutch polder landscape. Of course vegetation, land allotment and building development patterns also play an important role. Yet dikes are vital to the landscape’s appearance: apart from their form and location, their…

The farms have been relocated on large mounds, at the edge of the polder and connected to the improved dike. What remains is a vast, open agricultural landscape, with the ruins of the old pumping station as lonely landmark in the middle.
  • Landscape and architecture of the technical infrastructure in Noordwaard are connected in clever ways. The brickwork of the top part of this pumping station is reused from removed farms. The lower part is made of new, more water resistent bricks. The colour change indicates maximum expected water levels of floods. Electrical equipment, that must remain dry at all times, is located in the upper part. The height gave the opportunity to make a public elevated platform with 360 degree views of the surrounding landscape.
  • Already over a week ago the chair went on excursion. Theme was 'Room for the river', more specific the landscape architectural dimension of dike relocation projects. Here a nature stage in the 'dikke dijk' flood defense in Munnikenland, a resting point for cyclists and hikers shaped as a stair in the dike, to watch new nature in front.
  • This year there are several graduation labs in the Landscapearchitecture studio, all over the World. Parkstad Zuid-Limburg, Bosnia and Miami. This is the shared heritage lab dealing with environmental issues in Bandung, Indonesia with students Jui, Boomi and Nico as tutor.
