The studio describes the graduation assignment as following: “The task in the Dutch Housing Graduation Studio is to design a housing project that fits in a scenario of your own making for the future of Amsterdam. Behind the brief for an apartment building lie the bigger questions of ‘how do we want to live in the
future?’ and ‘what do our cities need?’”
To answer this question, I asked myself what kind of problems Amsterdam will face in the future in order to be able to answer the first question, what will Amsterdam need in the future. There are numerous issues that the future city have to deal with, and my approach was that if a city focuses on food production within the urban fabric, it can at the same time tackle a lot of other
issues in different fields as energy, rainwater management and reusing resources. When focusing on food production in the city, you encounter two sides of this topic. There is a technical side and a social side. In my research and design I stress this twofold. The project is about combining these two elements, using technology to make the food production as efficient as possible and incorporating the social aspects of food production to increase the livability of
residents and the people visiting. To let these two elements profit from each other, the dwellers of the green and the green of the dwellers, was the challenge of the design.
I designed the dwellings for the project, a public ground floor, I designed the green house and a huge conservatory coffering these elements, saying that this is the part where all these elements come together. The main design question became how this conservatory can truthfully become the part that brings the project together. An other design focus point became the relation between inside and oudside, making the transition very gradually.","Housing; Amsterdam; high density housing; food production; Greenhouse; Urban farming; Sustainability; Conservatory","en","master thesis","","","","","","","","","","","","","","52.369755, 4.877087"

The topic of this studio as mentioned in its studio manual concerns problems with ecology, climate, overpopulation, mass-migration, a shifting global power balance, changing demographics, etc., cities like Amsterdam will face in the future. But the question is: how do we want to live and what kind of buildings do we need to make that possible? Stated tin the studio’s manual ‘In the Dutch Housing Graduation Studio you will formulate a vision on the future of the city of Amsterdam and design a housing project that exemplifies this vision.’ First of all, my graduation project theme deals with the problem of the lost connection between people and their food and their lack of awareness about how food can shape the urban fabric and people’s lives nowadays. Therefore my projects research question was: How the architecture of a housing complex can contribute to raising of people’s food awareness inside the urban fabric?
Furthermore, by researching different case studies of urban agriculture I came to the conclusion that food production in urban environments is a subject that is closely connected with both social and technical issues. From the research I realized that if future cities need to reach to a level that they are self-sufficient and self-sustained in the case of food supply, people need first to be more conscious about it. That meant for me that people had first to start being more aware about the problem of their lost connection with their food, and when they succeed to be aware about it, then they can move forward to the next step, which is to start creating self-sufficient neighborhoods and dealing with more technical issues. Therefore the most important factor for my design was that of educating people about the food supply problem and urban food production in general. And that could be achieved by having some food-based activities situated in the premises of the building and which have an educational character.","FOOD; urban agriculture; Architecture; Housing; Dwelling; Amsterdam; food production; Urban farming; Greenhouse; Sustainability; High density housing","en","master thesis","","","","","","","","","","","","Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences","Stonghold Amsterdam","52.3668941,4.922801299999946"
