The police ad justice headquarters are situated in the center of Zürich on a former military training site. The main challenge of this project was to construct an attitude towards the political, historical and social relation of the presence of police within the city.

With the use of historical references as the Acropolis and the Forum Romanum, a scheme was designed that consists of an enclosed site with two main entrances. The enclosure is achieved by a two storey perimeter office building, this is the more generic part of the program. Attached to this perimeter wall are the more specified program parts, such as the police school, the prison and the halls which are accesible by the public. These volumes are positioned in such a way that plaza’s occur, where the main entrances to these building lie.

The theme of procession is used to design and organise these large volumes. Hereby these headquarters become like a secluded quarter within the city of Zürich, like a city within the city. By using different teints of brick for the exterior facades, a monolithic whole is created, contrasting with the monochromic white brick and concrete interior halls and entrance portico’s.

axonometric view of site< elevation housing slab

After a thorough research of Renaat Braem’s post war social housing project built on the same site, the goal of the project was to reinterpret his ideas on society and collectivity on the scale of housing as well as urbanism.

The strip with superimposed housing slabs serves as a barrier to cut off the site from the adjacent high speed road. Within this strip a great variety of program is combined, varying from commercial to collective. On top of the strip, in between the slabs, collective roof gardens facilitate recreation for the inhabitant of the apartments.

The floor plans of the slabs have been carefully designed to, on one hand, provide a unique apartment lay-out that fits with the size and culture of the inhabiting families, and, on the other hand construct spacious double height winter gardens for collective use.

books room< library entrance and cafe

Due to space limitations, the faculty of architecture has decided to place the faculty library in a new building. 3 areas are designated for a possible extension, the parking area, the square at the main entrance and the westside court. I have chosen the main etrance to design the new library. The square has a great potential with its monumental facade and entrance, but also as the center of the building and as the program’s center of gravity. The area however offers a lot of limitations in terms of possible volumes, foundation construction and light.

The library’s shape is the key part of the design. With its narrow and transparant footprint, the square on eye-level has hardly changed, but its space is borded to define a clear court in front of the entrance. On the library’s ground floor an espressobar is located to stimulated the activity within the court.

The bookcase is the center of the new library and is an integrated structure 3 stories high. The rest of the program is placed around this center bookcase space. The compact division of the different spaces allows the volume to stay as smal as possible and thereby balance with the large monumental university building

The Ketelmeer Museum houses a permanent exhibition about the dredging and the history of the Ketelmeer and the Ijsseloog. The exhibition shows and explains the dynamic and tense relation between clean water and the dredge residu resevoir. The museum emphasises this tense and dynamic balance by its rotating and shifting gesture, balancing on the dike slope and slipping in the Ketelmeer. Its geometry is a reaction to the circular reservoir, whereas the texture, opacity and color correlate with the continuous and reoccuring patterns given by the clouded skies and wrinkled water surface. The surrounding geometrical and textural elements have been combined to come up with this specific mass.

The inside offers a sort of scaffolding from which, through the facade with changing opacities, new perspectives of the surroundings are offered, from each specific place inside.

Haven Sauna is a parasitic building which uses the concrete construction of an old cotton warehouse in the harbour of Rotterdam. The parasite also uses the shelter given by the old warehouse from rain and wind. The goal of the project was to find a suitable function to add to the warehouse and design it entirely, from construction to facade detailing to climate design. I chose to house a sauna. This choice was mainly inspired by the surroundings of the building, which are the opposites of comfort and relaxation: traffic, pollution, concrete piers and chilly salt waters. These elements could make a clear contrast and thereby a sort of balance with the addition of something smooth, organic and comfortable. The result is a paradoxical experience. The Sauna building is mainly inside the old warehouse but pops out through the concrete facade now and then, to provoke a realisation of the strong contrast by users inside, but also outside the building. The pop outs correlate to the strict sauna ritual inside as well.

As core of the program and the sauna ritual, the sauna itself differentiates with the wooden structure. The concrete box that is the sauna radiates left over heat and by its texture, refers to the grey and chilly outdoors.

The proposal consists of a series of intensive, almost geographical, measurements made in the landform of the Sendai coastal area. Measurements made to act in a more resistent and preserving way for the existing types of land use. The aim of the design is not to protect a certain economy and culture, like a dike or a breakwater wall. But rather to create a living ground in which it’s land use, culturally, agriculturally and economically, and it’s infrastructure, is adapted to function in a mountainous landscape, which protects a percentage of the land use with it’s elevated grounds. These elevated grounds serve as preservers of the coastal use, as a seedbank of all the fragments of this coastal society, avoiding the chance of a tabula rasa.

The inundation zone from the previous tsunami is used as a starting point from which a transformation of the landscape gradually merges into it’s adjacent topographies or urban, more built, conditions. Through determining high and low points, ridges and valleys, the grounds in between these two occured as an inevitable reaction of the mesh we used to manipulate the landscape. With this method a multidirectional or perhaps non-directional pattern of ridges and valleys was created, partially influenced by external forces, as the river flows, main infrastructure and breakwater positioning, and partially influencing the smaller stream directions, secondary transport networks and marshland occuring.

tabula sublismMsc project EPFL

The hills are populated using a threefold division of the existing area land use. The three categories are organised and clustered to be able to function as an independent unit. But at the same time serve a larger network, spread out over the entire area, to supply overproduction to the adjacent, such as Sendai. This organisational idea is based on the Igune, the traditional farming community present on the site. Protected by a wall of trees, this unit is selfsufficient by producing rice, growing vegetable and keeping some cattle. The agglomeration of the three types of hills can be seen as an Igune XL, whereas the small family community has been extrapolated to a large village scale, overproducing rice as well as energy, heat and potable water.

The three types of hills designed, all serve a specific program and have their own performative ambition, which results in an equally specific architectural expression. The greenhouse hill is a hotspot for rice production using a hydropnic system to boost the efficiency. Cuts in this hill that serve as lightshafts for the stacked rice boxes, create hot air collecting atria which make this hill a significant heat resource for it’s neighbours. The second hill is also a hybrid, with a water collecting bassin on top, combining habitation, traditional rice terraces and water treatment.

The third hill, with it’s irregulary terraced surface, provides a ground for more urban conditions, on which housing blocks, connected to form entangled strips, create a diversity of left over spaces as courtyards, pockets, alleys, tunnels and bridges, all to serve the circulation of this village and the disclosure of it’s housing, by that becoming a complex structure of public spaces. This hill stores heat in it’s internal water reservoir, but mainly houses the workers of the surrounding industries.

The scale of the design proposal is determined by this hill agglomeration unit. The slight hierarchy present within this unit, is absent in the overall plan. This plan is a combination of a mountainous landscape, made accesible by a partly bridging infrastructure network, to which all hill agglomeration units are connected, merging with it’s adjacent natural or urban conditions. For this reason the scale of the overall plan is undetermined and can be continued along the entire coastal area, to function less as a local solution, but more as a national coastal strategy.

The Bouwpub is a fantastic place to have a drink with fellow students. But the atmosphere and style of the interior of this facultybar can still be improved. In our opinion not much is wrong with the floorplan and the materialisation in bare wood. The possibilities to redesign lie in the vertical space. The high ceiling offers the Bouwpub a lot of potential for spatial quality. But the ragged ceilings and lack of ornaments does not invite people to look up. The open area between the visitors and the ceiling is dull.

Our solution is to hang a huge lighting fixure in the open space. This element works as a false ceiling and has the effect the space feels more compact and comfortable. Nevertheless, the open structure makes it possible that people can see between and through the fixture. This way, the experience of the high ceiling remains, but the space as a whole is upgraded.

This winning competition entry was done in collaboration with Max Hart Nibbrig and Clemens van der Linden

June 6, 2012 To Whom It May Concern:

It is my pleasure to recommend Boris Popma. He is pursuing a Bachelor of Architecture at Technische Universiteit Delft and will graduate in July 2012. Boris was an outstanding student in my spring 2012 advanced graduate design studio “Tabula Sublimis” at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The studio responded to a call by Tohoku University to develop low-density programming (such as parks, memorials and low-rise housing) at the site of the 2011 Tōhoku Earthquake. The students’ projects addressed these concerns as minimal expectations on the way to a more ambitious large-scale urban vision that synthetically combined infrastructure, landscape and building within one coherent assemblage.

Boris‘s comprehensive strengths immediately became evident, as this studio is a good measure of a student’s capacity to balance research and design. His project raised many challenging and interesting issues relating to the development of an urbanism combined with infrastructure, and rather than addressing the issues in a conventional manner he always returned to his original research and uncovered novel solutions.

His proposal utilized a field of sculpted landforms, comparable in scale to the mountainous regions situated inland from the Japanese coast. Running in a multi-directional pattern along the coastline, these new landforms acted both as protection from future tsunami threats and also as the framework for a new urban condition. The overall landscape redistributed existing networks of water distribution, agriculture, and infrastructure, creating self-sustainable urban clusters whose performance was inspired by traditional Japanese farming communities (Igune). Industrial, agricultural, and residential programs were housed within each grouping of ridges and valleys. Strategically placed local infrastructure created a symbiotic relationship of program within each community, while larger infrastructure connected the settlements to each other and the broader region of Sendai. The flexible scale of the proposed plan could not only function as a local solution, but also as a national coastal strategy. His solutions advanced his previously known methods of program deployment and encouraged new ways of thinking about coupling infrastructure with agriculture, housing and cultural programming. During the studio site visit to Japan, Boris emerged as an organized leader of his peers. He is an open and engaging individual who contributed much to the overall success of the studio through his attention to detail, hands-on approach, participation in discussions, and in his constructive criticism of his colleagues’ work. His strengths lay in his persistence and strong willful manner. In closing, I would unreservedly express my support for Boris. I am confident that he will distinguish himself as a top student in future classes, as he did in mine. If you have any questions I would be delighted to speak on his behalf. Sincerely, Nanako Umemoto Visiting Professor, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne EPFL, Spring 2012 Principal, Reiser + Umemoto, RUR Architecture, PC
