Reloading Landscapes
Democratic and Autotrophic Landscape of Taranto
Cities are like “heterotrophic organisms” because they are dependent on inflows of air, water, food, matter, and energy. Unlike nature, they pollute their own habitat through the production of waste outflows and emissions, extending beyond their own footprint. Data on the ecol ...
Verrijking van het Ruimtelijk Uitvoeringsplan met de ondergrondse dimensie
Ontwerpend onderzoek voor de Vlaamse Overheid
Het Beleidsplan Ruimte Vlaanderen (BRV) richt zich op het bijkomend ruimtebeslag stelselmatig terugdringen door het ruimtelijk rendement te verhogen of wel te verdichten. Dit kan met behulp van klassieke verdichtingsstrategieën zoals hoogbouw of multifunctioneel grondgebruik, maa

Subsurface Equilibrium
Transformation towards synergy in construction of urban systems
By jointly approaching the challenges we face – such as ongoing urbanization, climate change, energy transition and the introduction of new mobility such as automated and electric vehicles – urban areas can be made more resilient. The
subsurface of the city can play a central rol

CO2 by mobility = 0
Network approach for reducing CO2-emissions in peri-urban areas in the Rhine – Delta region by 2050
The emission of CO2 is a significant contributor to global warming, with the mobility sector being a major source. The EU has set a goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, requiring substantial CO2 reduction efforts, particularly in densely populated regions like the Rhine-De

Clean Corridors
A Data-Driven Design for Multi-Scale Green Infrastructure Design
Global trends in urbanization, industrialization, and intensive agriculture are harming our (local) environment. These activities require significant mounts of resources, energy, and transportation, whilst creating increased waste streams. Poor management of these sites has led

Living Waters
Water Heritage as a transformative approach to a reintegrated dynamic water-sensitive reality in the southeastern Emilia-Romagna region
This project investigates the challenge of water in the Anthropocene. Due to the accelerating human-induced climate crisis and human actions such as damming, over-extraction, and irrigation practices, the hydrological cycle has been altered, causing an increase in the intensity a

From ''Stone City'' to ''Hidden Water Region''
Visualize and value the invisible water flows in Matera
This thesis explores the traditional water system of Sassi di Matera and finds out that water plays an important role as a sustainable resource, the social center, and the chance for green space. In addition, by exploring the overall history and culture of Matera, different symbo

About Doel's de-polderisation and eventual destruction in the Post-Anthropocene era
Within the main geographical contexts of the North Sea and the Scheldt estuary, the Doelpolder area stands out for the conflictual relationships between human settlements, environmental crisis, and man-made infrastructures, which are all paradigms of the so-called Anthropocene er

How a cognitive and experiential understanding of the place can create new meanings for a more conscious design action
The project I propose is not the child of its time, it rejects the lexicon of current affairs (climate change, pollution, exploitation of resources) as well as that of social issues. It does not want to solve the problem of the site in which it operates, but it embraces a horizon

The Naked Island
Unveiling the Dichotomy of Productive and Romantic Territories
Land and Sea are of a very different kind. One roots people to their contexts, tying them to its borders, properties and complex systems of relations; the other suggests the possibility for limit-less, unconditional wandering, an overwhelming experience of movement, in both space

Equilibrating dualities
The coalescence of man, machine and territory
Infrastructure, industry and extraction have greatly reshaped the North Sea over the last five decades. These specific elements played and still play a vital role in the growth and evolution of the North Sea and its adjacent countries. Among all the fishing and oil industry have
