▼ Architecturally, axis is a reasoned attempt to connect spaces of monumental value, including memorials, political offices and religious buildings. Through my theoretical research based on various literature and case studies, including that of Baroque Rome and Paris, it is evident that axes bear certain characteristics and influences especially in shaping perspective and facilitating movement. It appears that pertaining to visual perspective, axes bear influence in one or more of the following ways: 1) Centrifugal perspective, 2) Contained perspective, and 3) Centripetal perspective. Importantly, it shapes the ways a city is viewed and symbolically perceived, and is an important architectural tool for the planning of a city. Upon closer inspection of the topic, the study of the perspective in the axis presents and interface with the field of scenography. The research into the theory, phenomenon, and historical understanding of the perspective will bring about new information in the project. In the city of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, the invasion of the Tsarist government resulted in the intrusion of Western ideologies into a predominantly Asian city. One of the prominent interventions was the presence of clear axis. However, through fieldwork and in observing the urban fabric of Tashkent, it appears that the axes largely deviate from how axes commonly are like in previous case studies. While other case studies reflect the ways axis shape perspective as mentioned above, many axes in Tashkent do not bear such characteristics. As such, this graduation project draws on the observations and study of such deviations to derive learning opportunities and apply it to a new architecture. The intended outcome is a design of a monumental architecture that has a regional impact for Tashkent and its position on the New Silk Road.

▼ The story about the relationship of human with water has been always linked with the fear of the hidden, natural power of water. By identifying the historical position of the North Sea, it is confirmed that the sea has been perceived as “the edge of the world” in its past. The sea and its cold northern waters was seen as an evil in itself, as a physical and a mental border, difficult to pass and coexist with. Looking at the present conditions, we (man) are being confronted with powerful nature again. In the past, the North Sea was difficult to navigate. Today, we are facing the issue of forecasting sea level rise and unpredictable weather. This shows the phenomenon of nature’s power is once again taking control over human. The subject of the project is focused on the strategy of overcoming this fear but once again harnessing it power as an opportunity for humans. In the past, people faced the challenge of passing the fearful water by improving sailing boats, discovering navigation techniques and studying its natural movements, currents and tides. This process helped us to familiarise ourselves with the initially unknown and to learn how to coexist with nature. Today, we are confronted with the increasing power of water, which we have fortified ourselves against from it by building high advanced dams, walls and floodgates. We are using physical, monstrous engineering interventions to protect ourselves from the water rather than embracing its power – like we did in the past. The design in itself aims to tackle the current issue of water level rise in a more traditional way, to open up to nature, to understand its behaviour and draw on our experience and knowledge. The project has been set on the Shetland Islands, to metaphorically connect the story of the project with the first settlers of the Isles first settlements of the Vikings. Historically they embraced the fear of the waters mystical power and sailed through the unknown sea. As a link to the present, the geographical location of the Shetlands’ dictates that their coastal line will be one of the first to be impacted by the rising sea. Moreover, the island is by definition a transitional territory, the link between the Norwegian Sea and the North Sea. The relationship between the power of water and the site was further explored in the architectural proposal. It was important to develop a cohesive narrative in the design, to bridge the past and present perception of water’s power with the site. This specifically related to the introduction of using renewable water energy as the main component of the project. By analysing local issues of the Isles’ residents and researching current knowledge of using water’s power, the site issues with the advanced technologies were combined into one coherent solution. By following this, I had to consider how far I can use the aforementioned natural power to not to damage the rough beauty of the site as well as the rough beauty of the natural power of water. This led to the introduction of the…

▼ Since the industrial revolution we have become estranged from the sea. We became opponents instead of working together, and put up high walls to protect ourselves form the vagaries of an unpredictable sea. Somewhere along our path of progress, we lost our human connection to the sea. Before the sea became something we secluded, it was known for its reviving properties. In our increasingly intense society of busy cities and never ending incentives from globalization, leading to stress and burn-outs, there is a need to rebalance our cities and ourselves. Taking into account future projections for sea level rise, sea defence systems will have to grow intensively if land below sea level is to be kept habitable. This will result in a cumulative gap between the sea and the human system. Combined with the ever increasing amount of re-urbanisation, a whole new level of pressure on the border between coastal cities and the sea will arise. An example of this is the city of Den Helder. This city is disconnected from the sea by a eleven meter high dike, protecting the country from engulfing this geographical anchoring point of the Netherlands. The project focusses on actively leaving the city behind, projecting itself on the water in the solitude created by the dike, to return to the city revived again. The dike is presented as a public space, turning it from a border into a threshold before entering the territory of the sea. Transgressing this border generates a route of reflection from the rigid and intense city, into the wideness and freedom of the sea. The project consists out of a bathhouse, a swimming pool, a restaurant and a public roof and a viewing point. These are connected by a series of different routes. First the visitor leaves the city and enters the tower of entrance, here orientation is lost by the spiral stairs leading to the bridge. The bridge turns crossing the dike into a deliberate act of transgressing the border. The bridge ends in a high central space which is focussed on the changing, the abandonment of once responsibilities and stigma. This space splits into two elements with their own direction. From this space three routes lead through the diverse functions relating to the water, each in their own way. At the end of the two elements one finds himself surrounded by the water. One reaches for the view and the endless horizon of the sea and the other frames the touching of the water. After this experience of projecting oneself into the water, the visitor can return to the city revived again or linger a bit longer on the public landscape of the dike and benefit from the qualities of the sea.

▼ The relationship between industry and market, in the Netherlands of the 17th century, was based on a sustainable model. It linked small scale producers with consumers through a system of canal boats, maritime
technology and agricultural innovations. This marketproduction connection was carried out by farmers known as ‘warmoeziers’. In 21th century Netherlands, canal transportation or ‘binnenvaart’ is acquiring more importance thanks to economical and sustainable benefits. Complimentary to the global seaports, the canal boats can reach directly the customers in the cities. This revival of ‘binnenvaart’ can allow for a new type of city market to emerge, where automatization, innovations in food production and vibrant public life goes hand in hand with a lower CO2 footprint. The aim of this ‘warmoezier market’ is to merge the state of contemporary port-cities with the expertise of the past resulting in a market building.

▼ This project traces the role the North Sea has played in the history of the United Kingdom, with a particular focus on territorial control. In a post-Brexit scenario where supply chains between the island and the continent are interrupted, the contiguous zone just twelve nautical miles from the coast of the UK provides an ideal economic grey zone. A free-floating object in occupying this territory is not subject to the UK’s visa or customs regimes, nor is it at the mercy of the high seas. The project thus capitalizes on its position to subvert the exclusionary act of Brexit. Tapping into existing flows of secondary resources across the North Sea, the project manifests as a recycling plant which utilizes waste to produce recycled concrete made of bottom ash and plastic waste recovered from the sea. This new raw material is moulded into modular islands which are given birth to by the machine; thereby using unwanted matter generated in a terrestrial context to create a productive landscape in the middle of the sea. The project contests the exploitative nature of natural extraction within the North Sea and renders visible processes that are easy to forget by creating a physical structure that thrives at sea and exists independent of the land.

▼ We now live in a time when it is now quicker, easier and more efficient to speak to one another, yet it doesn’t always reflect on the fruitfulness in decision making and outcome of a conversation. Face to face conversation is one of the most effective means to converse and the North Sea is a space which needs to be part of the conversation. The research report found that North Sea is a one of the most dense urban seascapes in the world, with each nation taking a piece of the sea for the benefit of themselves rather than seeking to explore the notion of the North Sea as a common. One space; stronger, more resilient and profitable for those interacting with it, whether you are a fisherman or an energy company. The architecture intervention has led to the notion of a space to gather those interacting in it, to put their nation status aside for the benefit of the North Sea. This space becomes a state of exception, where jurisdiction and sovereignty of one state no longer applies. The site is on Dogger Bank, a former land bridge it becomes a poetic reference to a past time when the United Kingdom was connected to the continental Europe. It is also one the shallowest points of the North Sea, making it physically possible to construct an island. The design will seek for all nations to contribute to the island, building an aspect of the architecture, to create an emotional connection, so the space feel like theirs. The architecture is designed to be prefabricated and shipped across the North Sea, the island cannot follow typical building methods. The building construction is also dependant on the weather therefore the time to build the island can not follow a traditional schedule. As a typology the building is a Parliament, but it is more than this. A hybrid building, it goes beyond the traditional parliament set up we know today. It seeks to look at conversation spaces; informal/formal as the main role to get attendees together and discuss matters on the North Sea. Every attendee would have to travel to the island and may find themselves delayed in leaving due to weather conditions. The attendees truly find themselves understanding the environment they are discussing and start to truly respect the environment they are discussing. The design will question the idea of performance as part of the decision making process. Parliaments today can be very theatrical (United Kingdom). The stage in this concept is very import in the design, it questions its position, is it the main assembly room floor , the informal conversation spaces or is it the North Sea? A part of the performance is the audience, the design questions if it is those attending the parliament or is it audience those beyond, and everyone interacting in the space? Finally, I ask those reading the book to ultimately question where you position yourself when making a decision, are you an ego (authoritarian, dualistic, self-destructive, imbalanced, power-seeking or eco (democratic, sustainable, balance, interdependent). And…

▼ Agitation takes control when distance collapses. Contrast of different states of existence and change of the environment are easier to detect than those constant ones. Drawn from climatic, geopolitical and socio-economic scenarios of the North Sea, intermodal transport of goods, particularly the last-mile which crosses land-sea boundaries, will be prone to climatic threats such as storms, as well as social upheavals. Therefore, alongside sustaining the smooth transitions, there lies the need for managing risks. The project looks into the double sides of a coin during the flow of goods around these boundaries: connection - flows of materials in the North Sea - and disconnection or contingency that breaks the chain. Investigations of spatial mechanisms of the two dimensions, namely the logistic space and the congested space, show antithetic ideas for chances. This gap can be merged under the condition of contingency. A critical reflection on the existing displacement stratety provides the counter-model for the project’s territorial gesture. By joining the act of displacement and the act of conglomeration, an annex island is envisioned: the delightful infrastructure, the labyrinthine city and low-key architecture.

▼ We’re living in an era where spaces of logistics are further being detached from cities and urbanization to avoid choke points. But as these spaces migrate they leave traces of spaces permeating the city. What might be the impact of these logistical residual spaces whether large or very small on the expanding urban environment creating a clash, chaos and wastelands. The Port of Rotterdam is going under change concerning the petrochemical part. The reasons of decrease of oil in the last decade for the aim to shift to more sustainable energy production and for the increase of toxic spills on the ground and atmosphere. What would be the use of the abandoned toxic land of the petrochemical part of the Port, that once was storing oil, one of natures most needed source of for human survival, and refining it through burning.

▼ Material possession has become our objective for existence. Capital surrounds and defines us. The high dynamics of global flows dominate the planetary web of connectivity. Consumption, production and assembly have become the holy trinity of the neo-liberal realm we live in. It is a manifestation of the global dynamics, neglecting distances, identity and time, yet celebrating purpose, capital and proliferation. Meanwhile, the aftermaths of these actions remain concealed. The Zone of Disassembly reacts to this imbalance and aims to track, unveil and transform one of the consumption’s tangible outcomes: the e-waste. Currently, the e-waste is the fastest-growing stream of waste. The contradicting nature of this matter has defined the dualistic nature of this type of waste: value and toxicity have become fundamental terms when mentioning e-waste. Yet both of them could easily exist in unison when the issue is being tackled carefully. This project resembles a critique toward the current policies regarding e-waste: incompetent formulation of recycling practises and lack of contemporary, adequate methodology results in the conscious exclusion of these so-called ore-streams results in huge economic, natural and ecological loses. ‘The Zone of Disassembly’ derives from the question of territory and formulates a spatial intervention which has the potential to unveil the North Sea hidden e-flows. It is articulated via two interconnected spatial agencies, which establish an infrastructural threshold: the waste archipelago and the waste plant. The waste archipelago resembles a spatial switch whose aim is to reshuffle the existing network of flows within the North Sea and unveiled the hidden such. This artificial set of islands aims to navigate between the territorial waste and material flows. It establishing a flexible framework defined by multipliable spatial syntax which could easily be translated in various contexts. Furthermore, it acts as a catalyst for a productive landscape fostered by the premises of absolute technology and omnipotent densification. The on-shore part of the project aims to manifest the momentum of the territorial intervention, by emphasising the physical metamorphosis of waste into matter. While the offshore port establishes a vital node handling the global streams of electronic dumping, the disassembly plant resembles a spatial medium; a threshold between global and local, human and machine, manual and automated. The Zone of Disassembly addresses the various social actors ,by exposing the physical acts disassembling. The building act as political infrastructure which transparency agitates the public and exposes the sensibility of the e-waste polemic. Neither utopian nor dystopian, 'The Zone of Disassembly' is a surreal endeavour, which challenges our perception of e-waste and points towards the manifold possibilities veiled under the act of ignorance.

▼ Climate is changing. Weather conditions are becoming more extreme; we are expecting fiercer storm surges, more intense seasonal precipitation patterns and, in some calculations, up to three meters relative sea level rise. Especially the south coast of the North Sea will be affected the most. Particularly in the Netherlands, the coastal topography is shallow and densely populated. Rotterdam is one of the lowest urban areas along the south coast and it is here where changes will be most apparent. The city is built in a natural river delta, which has been altered extensively in the last millennia to facilitate a desirable and safe living environment for its inhabitants, initiating in the 14th century by damming the river Rotte. From then on, the settlement around the lock mechanism has evolved into one of the biggest urban areas in the Netherlands. It is here, where floods would cause economic loss through property damage and therefore social disruption to the population. My aim was to investigate into the most vulnerable residential districts of the city: Noordereiland, the sole urban river island of Rotterdam, proved itself as the first neighbourhood to flood in a case of high water levels. Not protected by dikes and lying the lowest above current mean water level, it presents itself as the most urgent district to investigate, seeing it as an ideal urban test laboratory to asses solutions to flooding in an urban environment. Firstly, limiting myself to the extents of the urban block, my project aim was to develop a systematic of how to convert the morphology of it under the extreme scenario of flooding. The system is composed of repetitive added portal structures, which span over the existing buildings. These build the framework for a new vertical circulation system, originating in corner gaps of the blocks. The circulatory system is built up by arcades on the inside and outside facades of the block, affixed to the sides of the portals. The new system converts the individual access routes of the units into a collective one for the whole block. Furthermore, extending over the whole island, these arcades, connecting the individual blocks by bridges, provide a new three-dimensional route across the whole district, providing it with an alternative plane to the flooded ground floor. Additionally, the portal structure provides a new foundation for added structures on top of the existing buildings, which compensate for the lost ground floor level. The project is experimenting in how the urban block could re-structure its morphology to cope with flooding. The purpose of the added structure is not to act as an autonomous piece of architecture, superimposed onto the existing fabric. However, as a supporting system to aid the morphological conversion of the block, and in turn, the whole island.

▼ Thames estuary of UK is one of the most dynamic area with vulnerable coastline, but still most of residents there have no idea about what is happening and what will happen in their surroundings. Hence,the design of Environment Research Center intends to stress the dynamic climate changes in an adaptive way. The Environment Research Center is located in Two-tree Island in the Leigh-on-sea,UK.Two-tree island is in the transition zone of sea and mainland, and the research of project site is mainly focus on two aspects – the site history and site characteristics.

▼ This project initiates by looking at the space as a territory (Raffestin, 2012), constructed through social interactions and networks. I believe the design project must anticipate the global social and economic shifts that are present within the territory of the North Sea and must be shaped in relation to the effects of these changes on local societal level. Mapping is used as a tool of associating, ordering and projecting the changes in the qualities (territorialities) of the space rather then a mere visualisation tool (Corner,1999). Equally important, The scripting of scenarios based on literature and statistical data allows for the depiction of the alternate realities that the societal shifts could produce. Taking Port Landscapes, Automation and the energy transition as drivers of change, the project aims at redesigning an automated infrastructure for windblade production, storage and maintanance, and with that reshaping the coastal form based on this process. The aim is in determining the relationship between automation, form and the port landscape. Taking both automated and natural processes into account when designing, the project is inspired by the writings of Martin Pawley, in his work Terminal Architecture (Pawley, 1998) he writes: “ The real barometer of the value of buildings today is not their aesthetic pedigree, but rather their usefullness as terminals in the maze of networks that sustain modern life.Authentic Architecture has been disurbanised. It survives only in the shape of building like distribution centers, factories, petrol stations, that are designed as instruments not monuments.” The design depicts the process and actions of the machine. An automated line, hatched by the elements involved in the different processes along it. An attempt of containment and exposure of the ever expanding developments in automation and production. Human actors are no longer present within the confinement of the interior space, and instead as automation is pushed further out to sea due to increasing vessel size and production capacity, the Human remains on the coastline, to bear witness to this new separation between themselves and production. The human is now the spectator of this ever ending automated line. Key words: North Sea, Ports, Infrastructure, Automation

▼ The project takes the increasingly polluted and flood prone coast line of the Scheldt estuary as the basis for a new coastal condition, centred on the re-composition of the sediment of the river. As a third option between dike raising and depoldering the coastline of Zeeland, a design for a new line of defence is developed which controls the inflow of storm water, and collects sand, silt and clay. The collected clay is processed in a ceramics factory capturing heavy metal pollutants and preventing them from the reaching the polder system. The primacy of material transformation through landscape is the key concern of the project, where the daily flows of sediment and water of the Scheldt are performed as architectural rhythms, cuts and insertions in a new boundary edge. Through this research, the existing design parameters of the coastline are questioned and expanded to include multiple actors, varying future conditions and an aesthetic and atmospheric dimension.

▼ The North is a dense space of connectivity, where submarine cables span between the population centers and economic hubs of Europe. Within this web of relations, the Netherlands play an important role as the gateway to continental Europe on the one hand and the United States and United Kingdom on the other hand. At the same time, the stable political conditions, reliable energy supply and friendly business atmosphere, have given rise to an intense economy of data centres within the Netherlands. The hierarchy of these networks is determined by other territorial factors such as economic relevance, national borders and existing infrastructural ecologies. Equally, the typology of data centres is focused around three main parameters that determine the location and architectural design. Firstly, the proximity to high capacity fibre networks is a determinant factor for the geographic location of data centres. In many cases this also implies a proximity to the sea and the global connection this warrants. Secondly, as they require sizeable and stable energy supply, they are either located close to energy sources or transmission cables. Thirdly, they usually require a lot of space to fit as much server space as possible, which results in a backcountry location. Hence, data centres are usually planned in a remote location, consuming a lot of space while not returning any spatial quality. My project challenges these paradigms in a number of ways, while adhering to the underlying network logics. Currently, the two system edges are usually separated in such that data networks are located close to the global network but far from the actual user. Therefore, my project proposes to collapse the geographic proximity of global connections and local user by bringing the data centres into the cities. The resultant urban network is able to benefit from a number of network effects and agglomeration benefits. These include the reduced latencies that are needed for the Internet of Things and the integration of energy infrastructure, allowing energy storage and dissipation on an urban scale. To achieve this integration the project distribution is based on a variety of urban parameters, which include the existing infrastructure networks and morphological analyses such as space syntax and isovists. On an architectural scale the project proposes a typological understanding of the urban data centres, which respond to a number of different parameters and organisational modes. In consequence, the project proposes three types that are responding to three different site conditions. Furthermore, the types vary according to their socio-economic organisation, their structural independence and most importantly size. The three types or architectural artefacts range from a ‘large’ publicly maintained building, via a medium sized civic centre to small miniature private buildings. The resultant architecture proposes to redefine the standard type for data centres making them an outstanding part of the urban fabric. While…

▼ Today’s land grabs are a continuation of past imperialist desires, with a clear distinction that today’s capitalist domination is associated with the transnationalisation of the class structure and ignores the ethnicity and civility narratives of the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. This investigation will establish that the desire of the seemingly ubiquitous forces of globalisation and advanced capitalism, mobilised to reduce the importance of culture and identity is to better facilitate its own growth and expansion - which at its core is a process of pacification. With a departure from culture as a medium for the subjugation of people, finance has consequently turned to class for its apparent objectivity in the assessment of people as desirable and efficient for including within the system of capital. Such pervasive coercion has incepted a dependency on the compulsion of a market that rarely provides one with an opportunity to self-reflect. Consequently this project investigates the knowledge gap between politics, economics, and the built environment with accompanying forms of living.

▼ The oil industry might be the most obvious system causing the North Sea to be a disputed territory in recent times. One of the main participants in this dispute is Norway: a country extremely wealthy, thanks to oil revenue. In oil’s supply chain, the Mongstad refinery plays a crucial role. Situated in a fjord in western Norway, it’s conveniently located in close proximity of both the North Sea and Norway’s urbanized regions. Reclaimed marshlands have served as Mongstads foundations, from where it directly and indirectly leaves its polluting traces. During its relative short lifespan so far, heavy impact on land and water have been caused. Even though the oil industry is of major importance for the wellbeing of Norway’s inhabitants, they lack in awareness of the processes and consequences involved with this business. Mongstad clearly represents this situation: in geographical sense bordered by either mountains and the sea, on top of this the territory is completely fenced off. Compared to other oil refineries worldwide, Mongstad is an interesting case. While having a capacity of 12 million tonnes of crude oil per year, groundbreaking research is conveyed on-site. In Technology Centre Mongstad and its adjacent test facilities, CO2 is being captured from flue gasses, and prepared for storage elsewhere. Mongstads functional future is extremely uncertain. The oil industry has to change, and Mongstad’s aim of being a ‘sustainable’ pioneer in the field allows for three possible future scenario’s: 1.Business as usual. The refinement and accompanying processes still take place, but as planned, co2 from the refinery will be caught off to be processed elsewhere on the site. 2.Transformation of the refinery. As in the case of Porto Marghera, the refinery will still function as an energy production facility, but in a ‘greener’ way. The current structures will be used, and, if needed, extended. 3.Loss of function, but exploiting potential of the site in geographical and infrastructural sense. The project is adaptable to these scenario’s. It’s an architectural infrastructure, able to grow and shrink according to time, function and place. The infrastructure stretches over a 2 kilometer line, which crosses from mountains to fjord, straight through Mongstad’s borders. While reconnecting nature over exploited land, an axis arises. Heavy labour and core production taking place at one side, while research and room for future development can be found on the other side. This axis is Mongstad’s new spine: opening up the territory, emphasizing on the natural environment, but most of all: supporting a more appropriate productive future. Nine concrete interventions serve as permanent gestures, telling the story of Mongstad through framing, directioning and their highly symbolic appearance.

▼ The Dutch sea water level raised with 24cm over the last 128 years. From a linear increase, we can see an increasing trend since the 1990s. According to recent scientific research, the sea level in the Netherlands will rise 1 to 2 meters by 2100 with a maximum global warming of 2 degrees Celsius. With a temperature rise of 4 degrees, the North Sea water level will rise 3 meters. At the end of the next century, the rise can increase up to 8 meters. This project focuses on the Wadden Sea, one of the last remaining large tidal areas where the forces of nature are free to do as they please. It is the last of the authentic nature in the Netherland and is essential to millions of birds and fish. The whole Wadden Sea area, which stretches between Den Helder in the Netherlands and Esbjerg in Denmark, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009. Along the coast of the Northern Netherlands, salt marshes were created outside the dikes through the deposition of sand and silt with a spontaneously established vegetation on them. The plants, such as sea lavender, samphire and sea aster, are resistant to the regular flooding by salt tidal water. Salt marshes are one of the few Dutch landscapes of very great international significance. Salt marshes can play a role in protecting coastal regions from flooding. These intertidal zones are delimitated by wooden barriers created by man in settling fields, in order to reclaim land from the ocean. With the tide come sediments that are then held back by the wood enclosure as the water retreats. Salt tolerant species then stick to the mudflats making it more stable and bringing oxygen into the soil for regular plants to grow in these coastal ecosystems. The project therefore includes a territorial intervention: environmental engineering for coastal protection, a landscape Intervention: increase accessibility of the site, and a building intervention: offshore cabins inserted into the primary structure. The tidal area can be saved by the same forces of nature that make it unique: sedimentation can potentially be increased at the same pace as sea level rise, with help of low impact and low cost brushwood dams. With salt marshes breaking the waves, the impact of incoming seawater is muted, it promotes the wealth of species, and retains sediment. As a result, the marshes can grow with rising sea levels. The eroded brushwood dams from earlier times can be rehabilitated to reclaim land in front of the dike. The dams are extended into a floating boardwalk, which unlocks the engineered intervention as common ground. Offshore cabins are inserted into the primary structure on every intersection, overlooking the different landscapes. This increases attractiveness of the land in front-, on- and behind the dike and makes it better accessible from the Frisian hinterland, despite the sea level increase.
