Erosion for Betterment is a graduation project within the Landscape Architecture master track at the TU Delft. The project examines an underdeveloped coastal area in Ghana that is sadly facing severe erosional threats due to previous unfortunate human activities. It offers an unexpected direction in handling issues as such by proposing an inventful and sustainable way of living profiting from the originally presumed risks.

Coney Island is a special place. It is both a chimera and a relic. A chimera (is a mythological creature with multiple faces) that shifts and vanishes and reforms right before our eyes. And a relic that has seen so many different stories and has been part of many lives in so many different ways. For most, Coney Island is an energetic escape from daily city life. A place to let go at, within its explosiveness, absurdity and extremity. It’s amusement parks and their rides and attractions seem to be a collection of all bombastic parts of life. However Coney Island also has an intimate side that doesn't get experienced often, but makes it a truly time-resistant landscape. The design for the Coney Hotel, reveals Coney Island's amusement area's whole narrative in order to benefit city life as a fitting escape from it. The design is like a confident creature that isn’t afraid to be in the spotlight but is also humble enough to let its surroundings take the stage. It is elegant, but strong, crazy but nice. It is an energetic attraction that can be used to escape to, collecting story after story becoming a relic, with an intimate connection to its surroundings and its users, being honest about its different faces and allowing Coney Island to be so as well.
