An Adaptive Framework for Living with Industry
The Netherlands is short approximately 400 000 homes, and nearly one million more are required by 2030. Greenfield expansion would consume the remaining open landscapes, including protected areas such as Midden-Delfland. The alternative is to densify the monofunctional industrial estates that line the urban edge, but most existing approaches displace the industry rather than integrate it. This project asks how an adaptive spatial framework, based on Habraken’s Open Building principles, can enable the densification of a logistics site in Berkel en Rodenrijs (around 250 dwellings on the JoyLogistics plot) while integrating living, working and landscape into a system that evolves over time. Following a research-through-design method, the project develops three interlinked design principles, supported by literature on Open Building, the productive city and place-attachment theory, and grounded in four case studies: Kalkbreite, Next21, The City Dune and Superlofts. A catalyst (free shared energy from PV on the 18,000 m² shed roof and aquathermal heat from an adjacent water buffer) attracts pioneers to a low-image industrial edge. An adaptive 8.4 by 8.4 metre support, carrying modular dwellings, façade panels and four lifespan layers, lets residents stay through every life phase via a modular tenure system. Symbiosis between residents and industry workers is built over time through shared infrastructure, a gradient public deck, a productive school, a workshop, and cross-financed governance. The three principles operate as a closed loop in which architectural decisions, the tenure model and the governance structure reinforce one another: free energy attracts pioneers; modules let them stay; staying produces attachment; attachment produces symbiosis; symbiosis produces resilience; protected returns keep stakeholders investing. Each of the four precedents demonstrates one segment of this loop; this project demonstrates its closure. The result is a replicable method for densifying industrial edges without displacing industry, consuming protected landscape, or sacrificing affordability.

Changes in sensorial experiences on Khaosan Road
The perception of the same street by different individuals
Khaosan Road in Bangkok has transformed a lot over the past years. From a quiet local marketstreet to a busy tourist hotspot only become more and more busy. This thesis explores how these transformations have effected the sensory and emotional experiences of locals and tourists through looking at individual stories through surveys (Kenny, 2014), newspapers, images and academic papers. The research shows 5 major timeframes: Before tourism (before 1992), the rise of backpackers (1992–2010), peak tourism (2010–2020), COVID-19 (2020–2021), and post-cannabis legalization (after 2023). The study shows how the sensory experience is different due to background, memory and social positioning.
Findings show that tourists generally love the street’s chaotic atmosphere and its multisensory overload. Locals of older generations often experience these same elements as negative because of there memories of how the street used to be. Younger generations have less memories of the street and thereby tent to like the street more.
By comparing emotional experiences over time, this research shows the importance of recognizing urban spaces as complex environments that can evoke different reactions for different people. Ultimately, Khaosan Road serves as a casestudy for understanding how quickly changing urban places can impact the emotional and sensory feelings of those who visit them. ...
