Why | To convert a part of a military zone by creating a thematic cluster
What | Multi-analyse + process development + vision + scenarios + masterplan + visualisations
Where | Woensdrecht, the Netherlands
With | ABL2 + TCN Property Projects

In the Region West-Brabant, an idea was born: Making West-Brabant the most competitive region of Europe specialized in maintenance “The Maintenance Valley” and create at the same time sustainable jobs and businesses. Local actors  already have the network, The World Class Maintenance but no physical project is out of the ground yet. In 2008 it has  been decided to launch a competition for the very first project that will be the motor of the Maintenance Valley: The Aviolanda Aviation Park, an old industrial and military park with a little airport.

Together with TCN Property Projects, we analyzed integrally the area, the stakeholders and the market. We build a common vision and decided about the strategies (marketing, management, spatial qualities). We chose a program together and made the ideas spatially concrete. We found solutions about how to mix private and military activities, and how to mix people, trucks and planes traffic while enhancing the experience of the place.

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.

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.
