Revitalising heritage: Hembrug

2020-04-16

The former military production terrain Hembrug situated in Zaandam is in decline since its closure in 2003. The terrain with over more than 100 buildings, of which 50 monuments, is in need of a new function. The assignment of the graduation project is to focus on a part of the terrain and to revitalise it with a new function. With the increasing shortage of chefs and especially specialised chefs, I want to transform part of the terrain into a culinary school. This school will not only focus on educating freelance chefs to become specialised chefs, but will also help to reduce the loneliness of elderly. The students prepare meals during their classes which can be served to the elderly living nearby. Food brings people together and the collaboration of students and elderly is proven to be successful in decreasing loneliness. This multigenerational learning contributes to making Hembrug a culinary centre in which students can learn to become a chef, residents can grow their own food, children can learn how food is produced and visitors can taste the culinary heritage of Zaandam.
