KERAMIEK & CULTUUR, Revisited Brownfield

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.

ST-JEAN, Main Street Management

Why | To update the 5-years integral strategy of a main street
What | Analysis + process management + surveys + interviews + vision + strategy + action plan
Where | Rue Saint Jean, Ville de Québec, Québec, Canada
Who | For AGAF (shopkeepers association)

St-Jean street runs through the Faubourg St-Jean-Baptiste in Québec city. It is a lively shopping street but that can be improved. Within the Fondation Rues Principales, I assisted the Association of Business Traders and Shopkeepers to update their integral strategy for the five coming years. We got new data: customers’ needs and origin analysis, socio-economical profile, surveys, commercial composition and mix, accessibility.

We brought images and sheets and analysed them with volunteer shopkeepers. Together we formulated a mission and vision for the main street. We developed together an action plan for each of the aspects that benefit the prosperity of the main street: organisation (budget, planning, people), physical improvements (shop displays, architecture, public spaces), economical development (mix and composition of the supply), city marketing (promotion and animation).

FLEXIMARKET, Active Square

Why | To design a market structure
What | Analysis + concept + model
Where | Lille, France
With |  ENSAPL
Who | For ENSAPL

We designed a folding and mutifunctional structure to create a temporary covered market on a square in Lille. Project in one week with a team of four people.
