KERAMIEK & CULTUUR, Revisited Brownfield

/ / 242 Comments
Why | To reconvert an industrial area at the technical university
What | Multi-analyse + vision + concept + masterplan + implementation plan
Where | Delft, the Netherlands
With | ABL2 + TCN
Who | For Woonbron + Kristal + city of Delft

After Blauw, we dealt with a second hotspot at the Schieovers: the Nieuwe Haven (New Port). A place where is an old beautiful ceramic factory and a well know museum about Blue Delft: het Porceleyne Fles. It is also very close to the university. Again, a 4D-analyse is realized. I made a map with the buildings of different architectural value.

The theme is chosen: Keramiek en Cultuur (Ceramic and Culture). The place will be dedicated to both tourists and students. It will be a creative place where cultures mix together where the University and the historical city center finally meet.

I designed a phasing scheme and a program. The district will develop gradually and in function of the availabilities of the plots to become a vibrant waterfront in Delft.

BLAUW, Regenerated Brownfield

Why | To renew an industrial area at the university of Delft
What | Multi-analyse + organic tranformation strategy + program + concept + masterplans of scenarios
Where | Delft, the Netherlands
With | ABL2
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.

SOUTH DIVE, Metropolitan Swimming Pool

Why | To design a metropolitan swimming-pool in a neglected area
What | Analysis + local benchmarking + programme + design + construction details
Where | Lille, France (1,4 ha)
With | ENSAPL
Who | For  ENSAPL

Lille-Sud is a district in complete regeneration. It has lots of social housing and is separated from the rest of Lille by rail and belt ways. A new park is developing on a brownfield along those ways around the topic of sports.

The goal of the project is to design a new metropolitan swimming-pool that will also give a new image to the now neglected district.

After having analyzed the site and especially its two different scales,  I studied the current needs and the trends of the swimming-pool market and made a references booklet about the existing facilities in the metropolis to make an adapted and unique programme with necessary functions and special areas.

The metaphor of a diving board has been chosen to make a shift between the scale and direction of the ways and the ones of the district as the cantilever also expresses the fact that there is a special diving pool. That upper block also contains a panoramic restaurant overlooking the sports park. That attracts more than swimmers and divers. The minimalist architecture recall the one of the brand new neighbour skate hall.

A lightning concept has been developed to make the journey of the visitor experimental. He dives in the rather dark changing rooms under the outdoor basin to then slowly reach the bright pools halls through ramps.
