Why | To renew an industrial area at the university of Delft
What | Multi-analyse + organic tranformation strategy + program + concept + masterplans of scenarios

Who | For city of Delft

The Brownfield Schieoevers is a dated district. But, it is very close to the centre and the Technical University of Delft and is 100 ha big. The local council ambitions are to use the potential of it, to make it lively and sustainable economically. Different parties, TCN a property developer and two housing corporations convinced the city to start the renewal of that area all together. ABL2 could start to manage the process of this enormous project.
The first goal was to establish a common vision of the area, a transformation strategy and a approach plan. The district will become full of vitality, will get urban qualities, and will be well linked to the rest of Delft. It will be transformed few by few, naturally, following the concept of “organic urbanism”. “Hotspots” are defined as motors of the project.
A first hotspot is chosen, close to an old and unhandy train station and a beautiful piece of heritage: het Kruithuis. I took part at the “4D-analysis”: urban structure, market context, stakeholders, political situation to be able to create a SWOT table of the area. Then we had the basics to think of the concept “Blauw” (Blue like the Blue Delft) with as theme: Pioneering Dynamic. The spot will target young professionals and students that are creative, initiator and want to develop themselves. I realized several atmosphere’s montages and a conceptual Masterplan. Then it has been made a feasibility study regarding the process, the financial and the social side of the project.

Why | To redevelop a post-industrial area
What | Team management + analysis + organic/phased masterplan + office modular system
Where | Wallers-Arenberg, France

Who | For city of Wallers-Arenberg

After the exploration of the whole Regional Natural Park Scarpe-Escaut, we focused on Wallers-Arenberg mining site.
It stretches on 14 hectares and is made of a pit where a high slag heap stood, about 10 listed buildings of which 3 are head frames, a flat slag heap, subsidence basins and a former railway used to evacuate coal. It is located between a mining village and a national forest, not far from famous race “Paris-Roubaix”.
We took down and analyzed important components: landscape, historical review, population, infrastructures, scales, private and public stakeholders on the site. That is how we have drawn 3 poles to develop: mine memory, sports and leisure, companies development. We called it “Créapole”.
The pit becomes a transitional garden between the forest and the town. An interior street leads off to the young firms that can develop according to the need (offices/workshops modules). The reception of the Natural Park, the head office of the community of communes, a swimming-pool and a memory pole revolve around a designed square.
The workplace modules are built upon firms’ request. Around a sanitary hard newel, partitions create rooms. The modules can be combined to create rooms from different sized according companies’ needs.
