EXPERIMENTEEL BETON 2003 – 2022

EXPERIMENTEEL BETON 2003 - 2022 Publication 20 years Experimenteel Beton - Dutch EXPERIMENTEEL BETON beoogt een inspirerende uitwisseling van ideeën, ambities en expertises tussen ontwerpers en producenten. Overtuigd van de innovatieve kracht van samenwerking is het noodzakelijk om deze vorm te geven, te initiëren, te koesteren, en te laten zien. Ieder wordt aangesproken op hun eigen kracht en kennis. Ontwerpers, producenten en experts. Het doel is om elkaarte leren kennen, elkaars ambities, elkaars uitdagingen. Alleen wanneer men gedegen inzicht heeft in de wereld van de ander kan een vruchtbare dialoog ontstaan. Het doel is om de randen van het mogelijke met beton op te zoeken,elkaar uit te dagen, er overheen te gaan, en mogelijk nieuwe toepassingen en technieken te verkennen. EXPERIMENTEEL BETON gaat verder dan het uitwisselen en ontwikkelen van ideeën en plannen. Ze worden daadwerkelijk uitgevoerd, getest en gewogen. De resultaten van de intensieve samenwerking worden tastbaar en vormen de kiem voor verbazing, debat en vervolg. Deze publicatie toont 129 prototypen, die de afgelopen 20 jaar in 16 sessies zijn ontwikkeld door meer dan 150 ontwerpers, samen met een kleine 100 producenten en experts. 2022 - 2023 publication editor Siebe Bakker graphic design Siebe Bakker & Fatih Cebeci initiative […]

Due to its relatively easy handling, its ability to be shaped in almost any form, its forgivingness in terms of material inconsistencies, its excellent strength and durability; concrete is used everywhere and for a vast array of different purposes. These benefits, combined with the availability and affordability of its raw materials, have led to perceptions and practices that focus on the volume rather than the value of concrete. To engineer and develop optimal […]

Dutch Scenarios Resilience

Dutch Scenarios Resilience Dutch Scenarios Resilience is a research and design studio investigating the ambitions of and plausible futures for Delft Municipality. It focuses on developing scenarios and strategic designs that address the future of Delft Municipality in four extreme scenarios. 2019 concept, coordination & management, tutoring Dutch Scenarios Resilience Cities and regions all over the world are reinventing their positions; either driven by changes in national policies decentralizing governance or reacting to the reality of competition and collaboration on subjects such as economy, services or the changing number of inhabitants. This often originates from a desire or perceived necessity to respond to the changing ambitions of industries and citizens, as well as to global influences. Due to the complex and intricate nature of upcoming challenges, there’s a need to improve decision-making and policy processes just as much as there’s a need to service and renew spatial structures as demands are changing. One can state that changes in urban developments are driven by changes in population and their needs. Energy and sustainability issues have become a common consciousness deserving appropriate response in terms of policy and spatial planning. One can easily add to these examples.

Research to Reality Book

Research to Reality Book 4TU.Bouw is the collaboration between the built environment related faculties of the four technical universities in the Netherlands: Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology, University of Twente and Wageningen University & Research. Future challenges for the built environment, like scarcity of resources, climate change, accelerated population growth and demographic change, demand for joint strategies and action. 4TU.Bouw aims to promote collaboration between the universities, industrial partners and the government, in order to meet these grand challenges ahead. This book presents an overview of the four-year period from 2014 to 2017. Around 350 researchers and students from the faculties affiliated with 4TU.bouw, worked with at least 300 experts from other faculties, industries, market parties and governments on a range of collaborative research projects, match-making events, and investigative workshops and conferences. Four years of 4TU.Bouw, led by Scientific Director Ulrich Knaack. 2018 concept, format, coordination & management, publication IntroductionMost of the more persistent man-made structural assets that surround us in everyday life as well as their reliable structural services are normally taken ‘as a law of nature’ by the general public. Compared to consumer products the service levels of structural assets are extremely high. Bridges with a structural failure rate comparable to that of normal office printers would be considered completely unacceptable, while a tunnel would never be built if they had […]

Brussels, August/September 2018.film:Ryan McGaffneyediting:Siebe Bakker 8TH CONCRETE DESIGN COMPETITION ON TACTILITYConcrete is often perceived as gray, heavy, dull and cheap. Indeed it is the most used construction material in the world and thus can be found in many places and applications where economics are crucial. Nonetheless, concrete is also widely deployed to express specific architectural and aesthetic desires. Concrete’s nature of seamlessly copying the formwork it is made in - in terms of shape and texture -, makes it an ideal material to create many different expressions with. Varying from raw and rough ‘beton brute’, to sleek and slender high-performance structures and ultra-dense maintenance-free surfaces. It provides designers with endless possibilities to create slightly varying repetitions with pre-cast façade elements, truly three dimensional spatially complex building components, and as many […]

The resulting topics were filtered and grouped in eight theme's. 2015 concept, coordination & management, publication De Toekomst Wordt GebouwdNederland is het resultaat van een eeuwenlang bouwproces, het product van maatwerk gedurende vele eeuwen. Er is land gewonnen, er is land verdedigd tegen het water, er zijn steden en dorpen gebouwd, er is infrastructuur gebouwd: van wegen en dijken, van polders en luchthavens. Mensen beleven het land, de ruimte, het (binnen)klimaat van gebouwen, en hebben verbinding met anderen via fietspad, spoor, snelweg, digital highway, water uit de kraan, vuil naar het stort en waterzuivering, elektriciteit voor levensbehoeften en luxe, droge voeten, veilige havens - een greep uit vanzelfsprekendheden die mede mogelijk gemaakt zijn door de bouw en civiele techniek. Met elkaar vertegenwoordigen deze infrastructurele objecten en gebouwen een enorme waarde; alleen al de herbouwwaarde bedraagt een veelvoud van het Nederlandse bruto nationaal product.

One only has to think of notions like ‘Creative Cities’, ‘Metropolitan Regions’, ‘City Branding’ and ‘Self-regulation’ to understand that traditional ways to organize one’s community will fail to adequately address these emerging ambitions.There is a need to improve decision-making and policy processes just as much as there is a need to service and renew spatial structures as demands are changing.

Elegance

Elegance The sixth edition of the Concrete Design Competition will host the theme of 'Elegance - exploring intelligent solutions'. It will run in Belgium, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and Turkey. Coordinating country Ireland will host the workshop for Laureates in Dublin, August 2014. The competition will kick-off in September 2013, with deadlines for submitting entries in May 2014. 2013 - 2014 concept, format, coordination & management, tutoring, communication assignmentElegance1: a refined quality of gracefulness and good taste 2: a quality of neatness and ingenious simplicity in the solution of a problemThe contemporary architectural practice is challenged with a wide range of economical, environmental and social issues. Ranging from reduction of raw materials and optimizing energy flows, to wide spread computer aided production processes and increasing numbers of experts for each project, the field of architecture becomes more complex and needs to focus more on inventing smart and efficient systems. Combined with an exploding range of materials and techniques to chose from we often see a practice that is either strongly focused on iconic qualities of buildings, or on carefully engineered sets of performances and materials, fully rationalized and mainly functional.This competition seeks to investigate 'elegance' in architecture and concrete. 'Elegance' […]

plastic-Opacity

concrete design competition & master class on plastic-opacity Structural Engineer and director of Adams Kara Tayler, Hanif Kara, led the second cycle of the Concrete Design Competition under the theme plastic-OPACITY. He challenged the participants to explore a solid kind of transparency, in which the core properties of concrete being massive and moldable are exploited to generate a formal language that surpasses a solely heavy and dull 'traditional' experience of concrete. 2005 - 2006 concept, coordination & management, tutoring, publication cameraNicole van der Veldevideobureaubakker assignment‘concrete is as concrete doesn’t’ – MassumiRecent developments in concrete such as high strength concrete and self-compacting mixtures have improved its strength and processability. These new properties are bringing a different level of inspiration to architecture students and practitioners alike by generating new possibilities in themselves, which are much more than technical solutions to design ambitions whose motivations come from other sources. Already explorations of concrete’s inherent qualities such as mass, weight, density, strength and durability are leading to innovative applications. But new possibilities could open up an imaginative field if one could experiment with the degrees of opaqueness offered by concrete. If so, concrete would finally be able to add ‘transparency’ to its obvious plasticity, […]

ROBUSTNESS

Concrete Design Competition & Master Class on ROBUSTNESS The inaugural cycle of the Concrete Design Competition had as theme ROBUSTNESS. Curator Michael Speaks broadened the notion on ROBUSTNESS to one including flexibility and adaptability, next to sturdiness and resilience. He also added ideas on robust design practices as a means to achieve robust results. A notion that seamlessly extends the ambitions and format of the competition itself. 2003 - 2004 concept, coordination & management, tutoring, publication cameraOkke van den Broekvideobureaubakker assignmentIn this inaugural competition students are asked to submit architectural proposals that engender ROBUSTNESS in/with/through concrete. In order to encourage the most diverse and original designs possible, no predetermined design criteria will be given or stipulated. Submissions are not limited to any scale and can range from small architectural detail, to interior, to free-standing building to landscape proposals. It is expected, however, that all proposals rigorously examine and make use of the manifest and latent qualities of concrete often hidden from view by conventional thinking and normal application. Competition entries will not be judged by stylistic, programmatic, typological, formal or other architecture design criteria, but rather according to the innovative use of concrete to achieve a high degree of design […]
