INTRODUCTION

Dear reader,

This portfolio contains a documentation of my architectural projects from the past three years. During these years I was doing my bachelor at Delft University of Technology and Stockholm Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan.Several projects, workshops, excursions and teachers made sure that I could take in a great variety of styles and natures of architecture. In the following pages I would like to show my abilities as an architectural designer, and present the different fields and scales I worked with such as architecture, urbanism, landscaping, technology and graphic design.

Besides study projects, the portfolio also contains own architectural initiatives and a competition entry. With these projects I hope to clarify my concern in architecture, apart from the study projects, as a true interest and ambition.

The following projects are designs created with serious care, understanding and responding on the local context in terms of society, history, surroundings, users and climate in order to realise an adequate design. Whether created individually or in team, the projects have always undermined well consideration as well as great enthusiasm from start to completion.

Sincerely,Inez Tan

Chander Nagar

Project Chander Nagar is a collaboration between WORKSHOP and an Indian charity Nanhi Dunya that provides school for children from the slums. The ambition is not only to renovate Chander Nagar physically, but to revive the spirit of the organisation as a whole, and help ensure its long-term sustainability. The whole project takes much longer, but I went to Dehradun to build a craft shed for the mothers of the children to train them in wood block printing as a source of income for their families.

The craft shed is the result of great collaboration between European students and locals. Fathers of the children teached us local wood techniques that resulted in interesting joints. The building is raised in order to protect it from the monsoon, but the children also see it as a stage for theatre and dance performences.

The pavilion is built with local materials. We used sal wood for the portals which is an important hardwood timber in India. The wood is treated with neem oil, a natural

pesticide against termites. Even the concrete slab is filled with rubble from the slums.

DE GIST

This urban design project concerns the transformation of the area of ‘DSM de Gist’ in Delft to a residential area. This area (700m long, 300m wide) formerly accommodated several chemical and pharmaceutical companies. The companies moved elsewhere and the site is now seen as an ideal residential location situated very close to the center of Delft.

The area has three different grid structures. Due to the different interpretations of the grid, all three have a different neighborhood character reflected in, for example, paving, planting, or housing type. At the points where the grids meet, something happens in the city map. Sometimes the grids overlap and at these places large public spaces are created.

The project area has several main roads who also form the borders of the grids. In the cross- and length-sections can be seen how the middle part of the area has the largest building heights. In the urban green area in the north, the building height is the lowest.

Because this apartment building is located on a busy square, an elevated street realized. On the ground floor are the shops and on the second floor are the residences. This way, the residents have privacy and can never be looked directly inside the houses from the street.

BRIDGE PAVILIONS

Between the city of Stockholm and Karlberg Slottspark lies a bridge that used to be a highway for cars. Since the bridge is replaced by a better one, it lost its former function. The municipality has the intention of demolishing the bridge, but it’s also possible to make this bridge attracting again for the city of Stockholm. It is the perfect route between the turbulent city and the quiet parc on the other side.

Concept

The idea of this design is that the bridge is basically divided into layers with different meanings of transportation and activity. The layers concern different types of transportation like 1. walking/strolling (pedestrians), 2. cycling/running (bikes, joggers) and 3. standing still, slowly movement (pavilion visitors and staff). Each target group has its own path on the bridge. The bikes and joggers have their almost straight path on the north side. The pavilion visitors find their spots in the pavilions and on the squares every pavilion ownes one of. The walkers and strollers have all the rest area, mainly on the south side of the bridge.

4 APARTMENTS, VREMDE

Vremde is a small town close to Antwerp, Belgium. It has one historic main road that leads to the church and all the houses are situated at this street. All the back yards have beautiful spacious views. Asked were four apartments on a site where only an old hangar had to stay. We decided to make two apartment blocks (small and big), seperated by a courtyard.

LIBRARY FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE, TU DELFT

The current library in our faculty has a shortage of space, so the fac-ulty building is about to be extened. There are three potential spaces around the building for this extension: the eastside, westside and the main square. I chose the main square. In addition to a library, the ex-pansion will also be an exhibition space for models, building materials and a lecture hall.

Architecture

Library

Head entrance Faculty of Architecture, TU Delft

Siteplan Faculty of Architecture

The current square of the head entrance of the faculty is solely used as bicycle parking. It’s a shame of this huge space to not be used as a place of destination. The new library should be located here, without ruining the nice views on the monumental facades.

I designed the library as a landscape in the entrance square. Some spaces are underground, others are as high as the plinth of the building (1,5m from the ground), so the new building will never reach the win-dows of the existing building. This way the new building will be a great benefit to the entrance square.

HEXAGON

The subject of this project is a traveling exhibition and conference pavilion for UNEC (United Nations Environmnetal Counsel). Requirements for the design are that the pavilion should be detachable and rebuildable, because it will only stay on each location for 3-6 months. The design is so flexible that it can manage in any random location and climate, due to an ajustable shape, facade and organisation. To deside what kind of caracter the pavilion will get, the step plan below should be taken first.

In collaboration with Veerle Rigter

There is only 1 module we work with. It is a very basic hexagon-shaped wood structure and it has two stories, both with a floor space of 200m2. It is possible to attach more modules next or above it, to create the right shape and size for a particular location, climate and purpose. Of course it is also possible to only use one module. A simple step plan should be taken first. After know-ing what kind of purpose the building has and with what kind of location and climate we are dealing with, an orientation, size and program organisation can be decided. After this, outside, inside facades and floors can be chosen to finish the overal structure of the building.

1 module at Schouwburgplein, Rotterdamfor example: exhibition space/tourist centre

Basic module

Because this building is so flexible in its shape, very different building caracters can be realized. According to the site, the modules can be clustered to form one big building. Also, several pavilions can be created when the modules are separated from each other to realize some sort of pavilion complex.

There are four different kinds of outside facades: a closed one (wood covering), a insulated glass facade and two kinds of panels that can be opened differently.

The facades (outside and inside) as well as the floors can be installed on the construction with a ‘click system’.

MARQT

Marqt is a fair and organic supermarket with a mission: make fair food accessible for everyone. At four locations in the Netherlands is a Marqt supermarket (two in Amsterdam, one in Haarlem and one in Den Haag). All four are located in fancy monumental buildings. Because of this luxury, Marqt looks more ‘uncome-at-able’ and expensive than it actually is. The fancy facades do not really fit the simple image of Marqt and therefore Marqt asked us to design a trick to apply on all the facades to make this supermarket more accessible to everyone.

Booklet design

To substantially become acquainted with Marqt, prejudices have to disappear. Give people on the street a possibility to make honest judgments about original, fresh and tasty food.

On each facade a modern and appropriate canopy is realised. This canopy is not only meant to be the universal branding outside, but it should also ensure a little bit more accessibility. A canopy provides shelter and a sense of personality.

FACULTY LOGO

The Faculty of Architecture was ready for a new logo. Actually, it never really had its own logo. To other faculties of the TU Delft, the faculty of architecture is not really seen as part of the TU because of its ‘crafting instead of the scientific thinking’. They often seen this faculty as a crafts factory. As a reaction on this wrong interpretation, I want to show in this logo how our faculty literally reflects in the university. As most creative faculty, sometimes a little outsider, very proud to be part of Delft University of Technology.
