Lecture Juliette Bekkering in Alkmaar
07.12.2011, 20.00h-22.00h.
Tonight Juliette Bekkering will give a lecture at the Architecture Information Centre Alkmaar with the title: "The buildings identity and their public appearance" Location: Provadja | Verdronkenoord 12, 1811 BE Alkmaar
Zoals de beeldhouwer
het standbeeld los hakt uit het monolithisch stuk steen, zoekt de
architect, ontwerpend, naar de identiteit van het gebouw, dat nog in de
opgave verscholen ligt. Elk ontwerp is een zoektocht naar de identiteit
die het gebouw aan moet nemen. Elk gebouw speelt een andere rol in het
stedelijk landschap: het ene openbaar en uitnodigend, als zelfverzekerde
kloeke gebouwen in het stedelijk landschap met een duidelijke
identiteit, het andere juist meer privé , bescheiden en verstilt. Deze
zoektocht naar de identiteit van het gebouw en de publieke ruimte is
creatief, gelaagd en elke keer anders. In de lezing zal aan de hand van
verschillende recentelijk gerealiseerde projecten van het bureau, de
zoektocht naar de identiteit van het project geïllustreerd worden. Voor
ons is het de uitdaging om gebouwen te ontwerpen met een sterke
identiteit, losgehakt uit de ruwe steen. Juliette Bekkering.

Ensemble BLOEMERSHOF operational
-
FROZEN FOREST-
23.03.2011
This week the project Bloemershof
has become operational. The project consists of three buildings with
three different users that together form one ensemble: a vocational
school, sport-facilities and a fire station.
The ensemble is designed as an enclosed courtyard . In the middle zone a
green, open and transparent public space, is formed. A large pergola
forms the connecting link with the green landscape of the "Veluwe nature
park".
Sustainability:
In the project sustainability plays a key-role. The vocational school 'De
Tender' is the first building in the Netherlands where "concrete
core activation with air" is applied.
The interiors are light and transparent and provide optimum
functionality to their future users with a joyous hall and recreation
area, a variety of class rooms for the vocational school, a large high
space with plenty of daylight for the firestation with surprising vistas
to the bar area and training rooms. The sport-facility is elaborated as
a light spacious place with daylight.
