There’s Paulo Mendez da Rocha quote that stuck with me since I read it on my first year of Bachelor: “`Las naturaleza es una mierda`” Swiss architect Luigi Snozzi made this quote his mantra, and used to repeat it all the time to his students at the first year. “`The role of the architect is to intervene on nature, modifying it for the needs of...

The Marker Wadden project aims to improve the ecosystem of Lake Markermeer (The Netherlands) by constructing a wetland with sediment from the lake. Sediment is dredged from the bed, and the resulting slurries are pumped into the project area. During this process, segregation and oxidation of the sediment may occur. The native sediment...

The story about the relationship of human with water has been always linked with the fear of the hidden, natural power of water. By identifying the historical position of the North Sea, it is confirmed that the sea has been perceived as “the edge of the world” in its past. The sea and its cold northern waters was seen as an evil in itself, as a...

Humanity is facing a special point in history, the era of industrialisation is over soon and we are at the beginning of the Post-Anthropocene. Botanical gardens should be the place to present and forecast these changes. However, the design of botanical gardens remained undeveloped. The project is looking into the essence of botanical gardens and...

Since the disturbance of the civil wars from 1991-1996 a multiplicity of ruined, abandoned and contested landscapes can be found in the city of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Defining those spaces today implies not only thinking of the violent circumstances that shaped them, but also of the slow but persistent transformation caused by neglect...

Blok, Lian (author)
This research has two main purposes: (1) to show the quality of dominant nature, above man and (2) to demonstrate the investigation of biodiversity in a city environment both by designing a prototype of a dwelling. The city environment, in this case, is Amsterdam; the dwelling is designed in the Jordaan. The location is chosen because this...

The project explores the idea of exhibiting animals both in literal terms – the zoo for instance as a space for the display and containment of animals – and as a metaphorical construct for architecture’s relationship with nature, with enclosures and with artefacts. The Bestiary is proposed as a new way of exhibiting animals and as a new program...

Hiemstra, Koen (author)
The summer and autumn of 2018 showed the negative effects of both low-flow conditions and bed degradation over the last century on the river functions of the Dutch Rhine. These resulted in record-breaking water levels, extreme low navigation depth and subsequently nautical problems. As climate change will increase the inter-annual variability of...

This project envisioned three futures of San Francisco dominated by three notions of nature in the upcoming Data-ism age. Nature has always been the authority to justify landscape architecture design, and its definition changes all the time. When we are dealing with long-term issues, like climate change, our actions should be justified by the...

De Boer, W.Q. (author)
Back to Nature focuses on finding ways to integrate nature with architecture in order to harness the positive effects of nature on the human psyche. As such psychological theories on restorative environments, neurological theories on the stress response and architectural theories concerning the sensory systems are combined to create a...

Birds pose a serious threat to aviation industry due to the fact that birds and aircraft share the same aerospace and inevitably collisions between them cannot be avoided. These collisions can cause from minor dents to the aircraft's fuselage to catastrophic damages to the engines which can lead to multiple human loses. In order to prevent bird...

The aim of this research is to show how humans are able to establish a direct connection with nature, even when using artificial intervention. In fact, through human imagination and its expression in the creative action, a rapprochement is possible in the world, between nature and individuals; humans should not be only observers but rather...
