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.
