An adaptive housing system that accomodates residents' changing spatial needs.
Within Europe, there’s a huge housing shortage. The Netherlands is one of the countries that exemplifies this issue. The main (social & demographic) reasons for it being an issue are the influx of immigrants and the increase in single-person households. The latter is mainly caused by the construction of single-person households & the increase of single elderly (who live in large family homes). This research explores how, through design, we can create housing blocks that not only accommodate the changing needs of a household but also stimulate the connection and interaction between different households. The analysed households are defined by size and culture. As a result, this research uses co-living principles to stimulate the interaction between these households and defines clear open-building principles to accommodate the adaptation of the housing block. This is elaborated as a design within a typical Dutch neighbourhood in Eindhoven, which depicts the possibilities to densify while still adding qualitative housing.

Bonaire’s road infrastructure development as experienced through the lens of colonisation
How has the development of the island’s road infrastructure shaped the economic development and stability among different cultural & social groups throughout the Dutch colonisation period (1634-1954)?
Throughout over 300 years of Dutch colonisation, there has not been one single time when the indigenous or (freed) slave people of Bonaire have benefited over the colonists or been aided by the colonists. This is especially clear when looking at the development of the infrastructure. Many colonies nowadays still suffer from past colonial interventions regarding their road development (Marein, 2022; Ng et al., 2019; Gardner and Roy, 2020; Dorosh et al., 2011). These past studies also discuss how the lack of mobility and accessibility decreases the chances for economic growth. This paper aims to extrapolate the conclusions drawn by past studies and, along with journals, images and maps, explore how the evolution of Bonaire’s road infrastructure has affected, especially, the non-Europeans living on the island. This paper focuses on the period in which Bonaire was colonised by the Dutch, so the effects of colonial interventions can be critically analysed. The paper aims to focus on the materiality & quality of the roads, who used them and how they were used. By analysing the colonisation period through the lens of the road infrastructure, recurring patterns of discrimination and segregation can be identified. This is especially between the Europeans and the indigenous and (freed) slave people on the island. This discrimination has, in turn, led the non-Europeans on the island to be constantly prevented from developing economically and, therefore, left them completely dependent on Dutch investment.
