Research to Reality Conference

Research to Reality Conference On November 30 the first Research to Reality Conference was held at the New Institute in Rotterdam. Researchers from the four universities debated on future ambitions and urgencies. Based on their expertise in previous research projects four themes were discussed; Smart Cities, Energy Transition, Circular, and Resilience. These four themes are generally acknowledged to become serious topics for the next decade. It only seems prodent to start debating the positions and potentials of the universities on how to respond, prepare and lead. During the second part of the conference, sixteen teams pitched to an academic and industry audience for Lighthouse Projects 2017 funding. Eight teams were awarded and will develop a 'proof of concept; or 'proof of failure' before the end of 2017. Seven researchers pitched for funding or collaboration on products and ideas that have reached the 'proof of concept' stage. They want to take their results to an entrepreneurial level. Two companies presented their research questions calling for researchers to team up and take on their challenges. Reserach to Reality is an initiative to combine the worlds of academics and industry. To initiate and facilitate meaningful collaborations. To set the stage for joint ambitions […]

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.

Extreme Concrete

Extreme Concrete Three multidisciplinary teams - architects, structural engineers, concrete producers, builders and clients - worked simultaneously on three realistic assignments for two bridges and one observation tower. Their aim was to discover the real potential for working with Ultra High Performance Concrete taking in account formal aspects, production techniques, costs and any other 'real-life' issues when building. Within this realistic context the characteristics and properties of the new material was driven to extremes. 2010 - 2013 concept, coordination & management, moderating, publication Extreem Beton 1 constructie & vorm Documenting the UHPC research program 'Extreem Beton' through a series of conversations with participating experts.

Rotterdam Airport Scenarios

inter-disciplinary and inter-university scenario planning project on Rotterdam Airport and environs At Delft Technical University students researched and developed strategies for a 'new' Rotterdam Airport. Based on current political, spatial and economical trends the envisioned new program, positioning an ambitions for the changing regional airport. Simultaneously a group of students at SCI-Arc Los Angeles studied comparable regional airports in California. Results were shared during the process of investigation to stimulate collaboration and shared knowledge. The project culminated in a weeklong workshop in The netherlands were both groups presented and discussed. 2006 concept, coordination & management, tutoring project setup‘Rotterdam Airport Scenarios’ is a design / research project for international master students architecture at the Technical University Delft, faculty Architecture.

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 […]

Fondant Architecture

Blitz Beton Workshop 2001 - Fondant Architecture The scheme of the Blitz Beton Workshop 2001 was simple: design the missing plinth for the building of TENT.. An assignment that, similar to previous Blitz Beton assignements originates from the conviction that architecture has a strong ‘knowing through making’ component. By making with ones own hands the possibilities of the element becomes clear. With a length of 90 meters, a height of 1,75 meters, exposed to the scrutinizing glances of passer-bys from two streets and within the time limit of 6 days, we had the opportunity to test our proposition. 2001 concept, coordination & management, tutoring, publication Fondant Architecture Documenting the Blitz Beton Workshop Fondant Architecture. Rotterdam, August 2001film and editingErik Jutten, Core van der HoevenEnglish / Dutch The Ultimate Concrete ExperienceMaking concrete understood as an architectural material of great potential is the aim of the Blitz Beton Workshop series.
