The Jongerius Company was one of the pioneers that settled along Merwede Canal. From an
insignificant gardening company to a remarkable car dealer in the area, the company expanded
the small cottage house to a large complex with a villa, an office and a production hall in 1937.
The company grew in the next 10 years, making numerous extensions until 1955 the company went
bankrupt and the whole complex was taken up by the Ministryz of Defence. In recent years, the
architecture of the villa and the office was recognized and are undergoing restoration.

Jan Jongerius was hovenier
en zijn landbouwgrond lag
langs het Merwedekanaal in
de toenmalige gemeente Jut-
phaas.
Aan deoverkant van het ka-
naal vestigde de gemeente
Utrecht een industriehaven
en Peter Maarten Bakker, die
historisch onderzoek deed
naar Jongerius, vermoedt dat
die ontwikkeling Jongerius
op een idee bracht: industria-
liseren.
De hovenier vertrok begin
jaren ’20 naar de Verenigde
Staten en kwam terug met
contracten met Ford en Texa-
co. Hij liet overal in Neder-
land benzinestations bou-
wenen wasde eerste Ford-im-
porteur met garages aan het
Ledig Erf en Nachtegaal-
straat.
Het hoveniersbedrijfmaak-
te plaats voor fabrieksgebou-
wen waar vrachtauto’s, auto-
bussen en vliegtuigmotoren
werden gebouwd. In 1937 liet
hij naast de fabriek een villa
en kantoor bouwen. Hij ging
er in 1938 wonen.
In 1941 overleed de katho-
lieke ondernemeren werdop-
gevolgd door zijn broer Co
Jongerius.Hetwerd geensuc-
ces en in 1955 ging het bedrijf
failliet.
Het complex kwam in bezit
van Defensie en die onder-
handelt nu met de gemeente
over een overdracht ervan
waarbij ook de Knoopkazer-
ne aan de Croeselaan betrok-
ken is.

Niet alleen de villa, maar
ook de tuin en het kan-
toor van het voormalige
fabriekscomplexvanJanJon-
gerius aan de Kanaalweg
moet behouden blijven. De
architectonische waarde is
groot en bijzonder, stelt het
architectenbureau FBW ar-
chitecten in Utrecht.
Op het terrein aan de Ka-
naalweg tegenover Dichters-
wijk (tegenover deVeilingha-
ven) wil de gemeente graag
een woonwijk laten verrij-
zen. Met de eigenaar, Defen-
sie, is de gemeente nog
steeds in onderhandeling
over het eigendom van de
grond.
Vast staat wel dat in even-
tuele nieuwbouw het voor-
malige woonhuis, ’de villa’,
vanJanJongerius endedaar-
omheen liggende tuinbehou-
den blijven. Beide zijn rijks-
monument.Maar of het voor-
malige kantoor behouden
blijft is allerminst zeker. Dat
pand heeft geen status van
beschermd monument.
FBW architecten vindt dat
het oude kantoor bij tuin en
villahoort. Debouwstijl is de-
zelfde als de villa en daarom
moetalles als ééngeheel wor-
dengezien. Precies zoals Jon-
gerius dat ook deed bij de
bouw rond 1937.
Devilla en het kantoor zou-
den ook in de oude staat van
voor 1940 hersteld moeten
worden. Hoewel vooral het
kantoor van de voormalige
carrosseriefabriek behoor-
lijk geruïneerd is, is volledig
herstel in de oude staat (zo-
wel van binnen als buiten)
goedmogelijk. Dat zegtarchi-
tect Antoni Folkers die na-
mens FBW architecten bij de
gemeente een restauratie-
voorstel indiende.
De gemeente reageert via
een woordvoerder dat het
kantoor ’een cultuurhisto-
rische waarde’ heeft. Daar-
mee is het nog niet van een
eventuele sloop gered want
de gemeente stelt nadrukke-
lijk dat vooralsnog alleen
aan de status van de villa
recht zal worden gedaan. Ge-
dachtwordtomhetvoormali-
ge woonhuis een openbare
publieksfunctie te geven.
Wat die functie wordt is nog
niet duidelijk. Folkers vindt
een museum een goed idee
en in het kantoor zou een res-
taurantof fitnessruimte kun-
nen worden gevestigd.

JONGE-RIUS
Architect Jongeriuscomplex onbekend
rVolgensFBWarchitectenverdientechterookhetkantoorhetvoordeslopershamerbehoedteblijven,degemeentereageertzuinig.
Revolutionair en on-Neder-
lands, dat is de bouwstijl van
het kantoor en de villa van het
Jongeriuscomplex aan de
Kanaalweg. Hoe bijzonder
ook, de architect is onbekend.
Van buiten zien de panden er
modernistisch uit, maar bin-
nen is veel art deco toegepast
inmonumentaal aandoende
trappen en gangen.
Omdat niet bekend is wie de
architect is geweest, gaat het
verhaal dat de ondernemer
Jan Jongerius op zijn reizen
naar de Verenigide Staten
daar ideeën heeft opgedaan
en een lokale architect op-
dracht heeft gegeven zijn
voorstellingen vorm te geven.
De symmetrische verbinding
tussen het kantoor en villa
maakt het complex als geheel
extra bijzonder. Uniek is, vindt
Antoni Folkers van FBWarchi-
tecten, dat het complex neer-
gezet is vlak voor de Tweede
Wereldoorlog toen er hele-
maal niet veel meer gebouwd
werd. FBWarchitecten heeft
uitgebreid onderzoek gedaan

Kort nieuws
7AD DINSDAG5 SEPTEMBER 2006 US UTRECHT-STAD DICHTBIJ
In 1850s, Transwijk and the sur-rounding area were fields only. The gridlines of the fields followed the orientation of the Vaartse Rijn in the east.
In 1892, Merwede Canal was realized as the Vaartse Rijn was no longer sufficient for the increasing water tranport load. The canal broke the gridlines of the field. Jongerius erected the first buildings.
By 1937, Jan Jongerius built a villa, an office and a factory for the production of Ford cars. At the same time, a pier was dug opposite to the Jongerius plot, and the Rivierenwijk area started to develop.
In 1940s, Jongerius company expanded. More settlements appeared around Jongerius complex and also in Rivierenwijk area.
In mid 1940s, Jongerious complex was further expanded. After the war, large scale city extension was carried out. The area contin-ued to grow and the government started the planning of a road system in the area. The Jongerius plot was framed by the road and the canal.
Assembly Hall IIThe second assembly hall was built in two phrases - n 1944, and in 1947. The hall is used for storage and assembly. In 1949, it was used by anothercompany - Molenaar for the assembly of cars. When the Minstry of Defence took over the building, it was probably used as storage of oil.
Assembly Hall IThe hall was constructed during the year Jan Jongerius died. The production for larger vehicles, like buses, was moved from the smaller halls to here. The hall was used for the production of aircraft engines for the Germans during war. Then it was took over by the Ministry of Defence.
Company ExpansionThe company was expanded in 1926, 1928 and 1930. This building was needed after Jongerius was contracted by Ford. In 1940 the open spaces between the various factory halls is roofed. The seperat-ed buildings became one massive factory complex.
Office buildingAround 1937 a new office build-ing is built in front of the old house and the different factory halls. With constructing this building Jongerius intended to create a representa-tive facade of the factory.
Villa JongeriusSoon after the office building was erected, the house must have been built in 1937-38. The house was presumably part of one de-sign with the office building.

CONNECTION COMMUNAL SPACE ORGANIC
To break the boundary between the two neighbour-hood on the both sides and revitalize the vacant in-dustrial zone, new connections are created
City Centre
City Centre
City Centre
Communal space is created in the middle of the site. The organic shaped communal space aimed at creating meeting and interaction between communities.
A free and non directional movement is encouraged within the site. Together with different attraction points around the organic space, the chances of gathering are believed to be increased.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The huge strip of industrial zone, including the Jongerius Complex, standing between the residential ar-eas and Merwede Canal has blocked the residents from utilizing the Merwede Canal bank area which has high potential to be developed as a leisure space.
The Jongerius Plot (Merwede Canal Zone 4) and Merwede Canal Zone 5 have poor connection with the surrounding plots. The west side of the plot are bounded by wide road with fast traffic while the east side is disconnected by Merwede Canal, which makes the Jongerius Complex very detached from the surroundings and inaccessible to the pedestrian from the neighbourhoods.

5 FOCAL POINTS
Based on the distribution and the possibilities of the existing buildings, 5 zones are created and different functions are assigned to the exsiting buildings
Cultural facilities Zone Retail and Office Zone Playground Zone Museum Zone Park Zone
EXTENSION OF NEIGHBOURHOOD
The rest of the site will be functions and element ex-tended from the surroundings to draw people into the central communal space.
NEW CONNECTIONS
Change to Existing RoadsIn order to improve the connection between OPG plot and Transwijk Zuid, Europalaan is down-graded. Slower trafflic offers better accessibility between two places. The traffic can use the surrounding roads to the city centre and other places
New BridgesOn the east side, better connection with Rivierenwijk is archieved by providing more pedestrian and bike bridges across Merwede Canal.

MASTERPLAN
The masterplan will provide a better connection for the former industrial area with the surrounding neighbourhoods. Community and retail facilities will be injected into the area. These facilities will serve as focal points in the masterplan, encouraging people from the neighbourhoods classes to meet there and generate interaction. The aim of it is to improve the social harmony among different social strata and attract people to utilize the bank area of Merwede Canal.

Villa Villa, which has a very unique architectural style, the streamline moderne style, is al-ready protected. It is currently under rennovation and to be transformed in a restaurant.
OfficeThe office building has a very simple design and construction which matches the villa and acts as a background for the villa. The office building also frames the garden.
GardenThe garden together with the villa and office form the image of the Jongerius complex.
Basement of production hallThe basement of the production hall has strong foundation. Therefore it has high po-tential for future use.
Axis of the complexThe Jongerius complex is the only place left where historical subdivision of the polders is still visible and all the buildings in the complex still orients parallel to the old polders. The rest of the area has orientation parallel or perpendicular to the roads or the canal. Thus it has high histroical value which should be preserved.
Facade SymmetryThe facade has a perfect symmetry which is reinforced by the clock at the center and the light tower. The light towers also hints a V-shape geometry in the facade. The symmetry echoes with the symmetry of the villa and the garden.Facade ProportionThe facade is divided vertically rythmi-cally - alternating 2500mm and 2100mm high horizontal strips. This gives a horizontal character to the facade.
Red Steel ElementsThe steel elements on the facade are painted red, which is done exactly the same as the villa. Thus the red elements reinforce the relationship between the of-fice and the villa. The red colour also re-minds the branding of Jongerius.CanopyThe design of the office’s canopy is almost the same as the one as the villa’s. There-fore, the canopy is a very important ele-ment that forms a relationshop between the office and thes villa.
Structural GridThe office has a uniform structural grid sys-tem that reflects the functional division in-side. The grid also affect the appearrance of the facade
Spatial ArrangementThe circulation space is located at the center of the building, which is sided by 4 office rooms. The smaller spaces at both ends of the building are used for services.

AIM OF THE PROJECT
Being located at the end of the communal strip, and next to a main road that connects with the city cen-tre, Jongerius complex has the potential to become a gate between the communal space and the city. It receives peple from the new and surrounding communities. At the same time, it can become a attractor for city poeple to come here and utilize the facilities in the communal space. Thus, Jongerius complex becomes a place where local and city people have high chance of interactions.
Distribution of Sports Facilities
Although there are sportsgrounds nearby, they are for outdoor sports. I would like to propose a sports centre for indoor sports. Also, to reactivate Merwede Canal , water sports facilities, i.e. rowing facilities are to be provided
Distribution of Creative/Art/Writing Studio
There are lots of small individual studios in south Utrecht. I would like to provide a place for them to promote their work and encourage the development of cultural ac-tivities. This gallery can also serve as an attraction point for the ppl from the cente
Immersion of New Communities
Since there will be new communities in the masteer-plan, new community facilities are needed, they in-clude library, children daycare center, auditorium, meeting and activity places.

ZOOM IN MASTERPLAN CONCEPT
In order to have a more welcoming entrance for the non-local visitors, an entance facing the main road will be cre-ated. The historical axis is extended and creats new axis that is pointing to the main road.1 block is added to the new axis to recieve outsiders. Another block is added to balance the plan and frame a new garden.
ORTAGONAL <> ORGANIC
To merge the otagonal organization and the organic space to-gether, blocks are arranged in steps-like.
And at the same time, use the shapes to guide the people to the historical gareden

FACADE DESIGN
The idea of the facade is to find a material that is in har-mony but slightly different from the the Jongerius plas-tered facade, at the same time to fit the public functions for the additional building, i.e. to maintain certain visiib-lity between exterior and interior. Thus, white powdered perforated aluminium panels are chosen for the facade of the newly added buildings. Perforated panels have a property that when you view it from a certain distance away, the facade appears to be a complete white sur-face, when you view in proximity, people will be able to have of glimpse of what’s hap-pening on and inside or outside. Perforated panels can also act as sunscreens to better control the interior enviornment.
Layers of facade system -
1. Steel H-cloumns2. Additional beams at half floor span of the glass facade to provide extra support to the panels3. Window frames4. Double glazings5. Folding perforated panels and fixrf perforated panels at the spandrel area

Each day people struggle to be on time in their jobs, schools, homes or not to be late for a
meeting. They have traffic jams, pollution, roadworks to overcome. What what if we could
eliminate cars from our live? What if people could everywhere afoot and reach every place
in 10 minutes? Let’s imagine a city only for walkers: with elevator, escalators, moving walk-
ways, where people could walk, run, skate or skateboard thereby improve their health, con-
dition, decrease air pollution and make their city more sustainable.

When found the optimum configura-tion and segmentation of the city we decided to retain the cluster quality of the city.
To do that we used “close to” formula. From that we decided that every hous-ing 1 should be as close as possible to office 1, education 1, shopping 1, lei-sure 1 and 2. The same was made for housing 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Thanks to that we created clusters but within the previous configurations cal-culated for whole city.
To achieve final calculation we used other logic of splitting volumes. The goal was to calculate configuration for whole city, not only one fragment. That is why we started with assumption that every housing is connected to all volumes. First connection that we took in consideration was hosuing-hosuing connection. Mininium fragmentation for 5 min distance is 5 volumes of housing, so we started with that and continued till 11 volumes. Calculation stopped at 11, because there was a trend which showed that further splitting would only result in longer distance and larger standard deviation for the connections. From that study we learned that 6 volumes of housings have the shortest houisng-housing distance.
Then, according to the sequence of intensity atomium diagram, we considered housing-office connection. Using the same logic we found out that 3 volumes of offices have the shortest housing- office distance. With 6 housing and 3 of-fices we applied these calculations to other programs and found amount of their volumes.

FINAL Grasshopper ModelAddition of Agriculture and Industry - about 20min walking distance from housings
Density Discs StudiesTo translate volumes of programs into density discs we used optimum in-clination of 10 degrees and assumed that it was neccessary to increase each volume of about 25 % (volume for circulation). Then we could de-scribe each disc for each program in terms of volume, high and radius.
Final ConfigurationFor the final configuration the average distance between programs was 1.092 km.

Translation of Grasshopper ModelBecause of walkable city characteristic next step was to remove bufferzones of disc to decrease distances and, what is more important, to optimize the angle for walking/running (10 degrees). The result is flatten version of calculated configuration. Next was manually addi-tion of industry and housing as close as possible within 10 degress from housing.
To optimize the speed for walking/running, the programs are slightly rearranged within the 5min running density disc, the angle between housings and other programs are al-
ways within 10 degrees
Not to lose the space along pathways we decided to stretch the program along each con-nection, so in these parts there ware mixed programs.
The Final model of the city was a result of grasshopper calculations and further translation ac-cording to characteristic of our transport mode: walking.
Removal of the top part of the disc to minimize walk-ing/running uphill
FINAL MODEL proved the previous assumptions: we obtained highly mixed and densed city. Grasshopper calculations helped us with looking for right numbers of volumes. Thanks to den-sity disc we were able to take advantage of optimum angle for walking and running and find the shape of each program. In the whole city the most important connections (so between housing and other programs) were also always between 0 and 10 degress to keep maximum speed for walking in both directions (uphill and downhill).
At the end conclusion could be that the final model is a compromise between various needs of the city for walking, which should be as flat as possible to provide the most comfortable and the fastest connection: flat surface. On the other hand it can’t be completely flat due to another need: the highest possible density. That led to add an inclined paths and mix programs. These all were made within characteristic features of walking.

The speed that a project is published worldwide is directly related to the possibilities that a different project somewhere else looks practically the same. It is our hypothesis that not necessarily people are deliberately copying each other (of course it is also often the case!) but that they are actually arriving at very similar results due to the same sources of information that are being increasingly available to everyone worldwide.
As architecture remains unscalable (the impossibility of multiple copy worldwide) the domain re-mains somehow sealed against the real challenges of copy at massive scale. But if buildings are difficult to copy exactly, not so much are their parts and ideas behind them. We see how in the course of days the same idea of a building is replicated worldwide in several contexts with mini-mum variations. In the past the appearance of the same architecture worldwide usually implied the power of an empire to replicate its own system. But now it seems no one is in control, and that seems dangerous to the profession.
The reasons architects are copying each other has many answers, but the speed at which build-ing concepts are being asked for competitions specially makes us doubt that the traditional path of creation is operational. Competition demands originality and innovation at the speed that is not related to it, so it makes sense to ‘compile’ as much existing information as one can handle and rearrange it in such a way that it looks fresh, trendy and original for that particular moment of time.

winter heat transfer
Through the advancement in technology, thermal comfort of the building interiors have been greatly improved, by adding mechanical heating and cooling system. However, sustainability has become the central theme in recent years. The use of HVAC consumes considerable amount of energy and is one of the causes of creating greenhouse gases and intersifying global warming. Thus, it is important to imrprove the building insulation in order to save the energy used in heating and cooling systems. The design of façade is far more important in achieving thermal comfort, with a good well-thought design, the façade can help to cut down the consumption of energy of a building.
The building that will be examined in this research is the Dresselhuys Pavilion of Zonnestraal. As designed as a temporary sana-torium and because of the architect’s pursuit of transparency, climatic insulation was not well thought in the design. The aim of the research is to re-design the façade system with details that adapt to climatic changes to improve the thermal comfort for the occupants while keeping the energy consumption low and bringing least physical and visual destruction to this tentative UNESCO’s World Heritage.
Double skin façade system is composed of two separate layers of glazing, exterior glazing and interior glazing, such that a layer of air can be trapped between the two panes. The concept of double skin fa-çade is that during winters, air heated by solar radiation is trapped inside the cavity, acting like a jacket to the building, reduc-ing the heat loss from the interior; during summers, flow of air in the cavity is acti-vated by solar induced thermal buoyancy and by the effects of the wind, heated air is drawn out of the cavity, bringing in fresh air into the cavity at the same time. An adjustable sun shading device is usu-ally installed in the cavity space to protect the internal rooms from high cooling loads caused by insolation. Thermal comfort is thus achieved with low energy consump-tio, intelligent and flexible façade systems reacting to seasonal changes.

Full Height Ventilated Flue vs Single Storey Ventilated FacadeFull height double skin facade system can create a more continuous glass fa-çade, maintaining the high transparency of the elevation. The advantages of the multi-storey façade also include simple construction in assembly and instal-lation. An air gate will be installed on the top of first floor and a louvre will be installed on the ground floor next to the added glazing. Special attention is paid for the rainwater drainage in the detailing of roof junction and the floor junction.
External Skin - Double Glazed vs Single GlazedSingle glazing is preferred since the size of the joints to hold the heavier double glazing is much larger than the joints to hold single glazing in the façade, same for the structure. In order to maintain the transparency, clamp fixing system will be employed to the facade.
StructureSince the original structure cannot support extra loading, the newly added layer of façade has to be supported by additional self standing structure.

Double skin façade system is composed of two separate
layers of glazing, exterior glazing and interior glazing,
such that a layer of air can be trapped between the two
panes. The concept of double skin façade is that during
winters, air heated by solar radiation is trapped inside the
cavity, acting like a jacket to the building, reducing the
heat loss from the interior; during summers, flow of air in
thethe cavity is activated by solar induced thermal buoyancy
and by the effects of the wind, heated air is drawn out of
the cavity, bringing in fresh air into the cavity at the same
time. An adjustable sun shading device is usually installed
in the cavity space to protect the internal rooms from high
cooling loads caused by insolation. Thermal comfort is
thus achieved with low energy consumptio, intelligent and
flexible façade systems reacting to seasonal changes.flexible façade systems reacting to seasonal changes.

Through the advancement in technology, thermal comfort of the building interiors have been greatly improved, by adding mechanical heating and cooling system. However, sustainability has
become the central theme in recent years. The use of HVAC consumes considerable amount of energy and is one of the causes of creating greenhouse gases and intersifying global warming.
Thus, it is important to imrprove the building insulation in order to save the energy used in heating and cooling systems. The design of façade is far more important in achieving thermal com-
fort, with a good well-thought design, the façade can help to cut down the consumption of energy of a building.
The building that will be examined in this research is the Dresselhuys Pavilion of Zonnestraal. As designed as a temporary sanatorium and because of the architect’s pursuit of transparency,
climatic insulation was not well thought in the design. The aim of the research is to re-design the façade system with details that adapt to climatic changes to improve the thermal comfort for
the occupants while keeping the energy consumption low and bringing least physical and visual destruction to this tentative UNESCO’s World Heritage.
