Local Regenerative Materials for Urban Dansification
This project explores how local regenerative materials, mainly hemp-lime and timber, can be used for sustainable urban densification. It starts from the environmental impact of mainstream construction processes and the housing crisis. Also, the potential of underused urban areas with local identity is a key theme. In many projects, materials are sourced all over the world and buildings are constructed on a “tabula rasa”, while local resources, techniques and overlooked urban qualities can lead to characteristic projects.
The project is situated in the Eindhoven region with in particular the Schellensfabriek. It studies how local regenerative materials can be sourced, distributed and fabricated in modular 3D systems made for housing. Key methods are mapping and prototyping. The local characteristics shape the boundary of this modular system.
The modules are made for a housing concept which allows for polyvalent and adaptative use of space, made for 1 to 2 person households with a focus on social interaction through gradual privacy and collective spaces. This housing concept is applied to underused urban “tabula scripta” sites using a repeatable design method. It carefully considers existing qualities, architectural but also social, cultural and more. The modular concept is applied to the Schellensfabriek and complemented by a project specific design part, which reacts to the site’s rich history as a textile factory.
The result aims to show that local regenerative materials can be a sustainable alternative to mainstream practices, but also that it can lead to an architecture that enhances local qualities. ...
