The transformation of military heritage into a museum and public space
This graduation project explores the adaptive reuse of the Kitchen Building at the Kolonel Palmkazerne in Bussum as a Defence Museum and Information Centre. The project responds to the growing need for public engagement, education, and recruitment within the Dutch Ministry of Defence, while preserving the historical value of military heritage.
Using a research-by-design approach, literature studies, case studies, a value assessment, and site analysis were combined to investigate how spatial layout and routing can support both information provision and recruitment. The design introduces a central gathering space that balances orientation and freedom of movement, while preserving key heritage elements of the site.
The project demonstrates how military heritage can be transformed into a contemporary public facility that connects history, education, and societal relevance through architecture. ...

Between ideology and design: Fred Forbat and the political space of modernism
The role of politics in the development of a modernist architectural style
This thesis examines the interplay between political context and architectural design within the oeuvre of Fred Forbat, a modernist architect with roots in Hungary, Germany and Sweden. It discusses two case studies: the Großsiedlung Siemensstadt in Berlin and the Gröndal housing estate in Stockholm. It analyses how political conditions influenced the development and reception of Forbat's architecture. While his modernist language of form was gradually undermined in Germany by the rise of national socialism, the social-democratic and functionalist climate in Sweden actually provided space for the further development of his ideas. The analysis shows that Forbat's architectural style remained consistent in its modernist principles, but that the extent to which it could be realised depended heavily on the political and social support in the relevant context.
