The graduation project involves the adaptive reuse of the former FN Steel waterfront industrial complex in Alblasserdam, transforming it into an arts and public life complex. This complex will serve as the main gallery for the Waterdriehoek Art Triennial, with a focus on water-environment art, while also providing multidimensional mixed-use spaces that support local on-water life and maritime traditions. This dual identity is inspired by research into the current development and future prospects of the integrated heritage zone of Waterdriehoek.

This research investigates the interplay between flood risk management and the preservation of industrial heritage in Zwijndrecht, a region characterized by its complex relationship with water management. The study analyzes historical transformations of the landscape from the 1850s to the present, highlighting the transition from a predominantly polder landscape to extensive industrial development following the implementation of river management interventions. The analysis reveals vulnerabilities in current water management strategies, particularly in light of climate change and recent flooding events. The research explores innovative solutions for expanding the Oude Maas River while safeguarding the region's industrial heritage, ultimately aiming to balance the imperatives of flood prevention and cultural preservation. By assessing the feasibility of lowering outer dikes and creating buffer zones, this study contributes to ongoing discussions on sustainable water management practices in heritage rich urban environments.

The central topic of this research paper is interior circulation design, particularly within the museum building typology. Investigated is how the interior circulation influences the narrative of the exhibition. The main question is 'How can interior circulation design support the story of the museum?' To answer this question a literature study is conducted. Varies types of museum layout organization and arrangement of exhibition spaces are illustrated as well as potentials to facilitate storytelling through circulation design. The aim is to present a framework of circulationtypes and their characteristics, which can be applied on case studies and new designs. The paper includes one specific case study analysis of the dredginmuseum in Sliedrecht. Resulting in a proposal for a renewed dredging museum, housed in the formar dwelling of the Volkers family and an extension with pavilion and martime shipshed.

'The throughline' is a concept for a renewed and extended dredging museum in Sliedrecht, combining all the aspects of dredging with the aspects of the terrain.

Industrial shipyards form a unique legacy of architecture and engineering in the industrial heritage field. They are the tangible and vivid remains of the industrial ages. The appreciation and importance of the transformation and reuse of industrial shipyards in the Netherlands has significantly risen in the last three decades. However, there are places where the ongoing process has come to an end and the appreciation and sense of historical continuity has disappeared. Many industrial shipyards fell into decline in the second half of the 20th century as industrialized economies started to decline. The abandonment that followed de-industrialization poses great challenges to the redevelopment of industrial shipyards.

The project Makersdorp Kloos proposes a redesign for the maritime complex of the former Kloos site in Alblasserdam in its urban context and landscape setting. The design features co-living and designing your own spaces together with your neighbours.
