One of the principles of the sailfacade is that de sails roll up
in pairs. The sails are rolled up in each other and they are rolled
in or rolled out together.
On the side of the sunscreen, there are two motors which are able
to wind up the sails of the screen below or above. The sunscreens
can rotate clockwise as well as counter clockwise.
In these vertical sections, the system of rolling in and rolling out the sails is shown. The principle is based
on the powercord of a vacuum cleaner. The maximum tension of the sails is right before it gets to the turn.
When pushed a little further, the motors will get the signal to release the cord due to the decrease in tension.
The facade has 4 different
motors. The pattern shown
above is used in the entire
facade.
Two of the five sunscreen-
rails are locked. Three can
move from and towards
the building as shown in
the diagram to the right.

RESEARCH QUESTION:
How can a textile outer layer of a double skin facade has a positive influence on the total energy balance of the building and still contains acoustic suitability for the square?

3. RECIPROCAL FRAME CANOPY - AMSTERDAM
DURATION
11 weeks
STRENGTHS
Before going into detail a thorough analysis of the spatial and social challenges as well as potentials of the plot was made.
A strong integration between structure & façade. The façade design gave necessary structural boundaries.
All the investigated tessellations were parametrically scripted in Grasshopper.
Used Kangaroo Grasshopper to formfind the overall shape of the canopy.
Strong values and goals were set up in the early phase of the design project.
OPPORTUNITIES
Going more in depth of the joinery and connection to realise better structural performance.
If there was more time, various tessellations could be structurally analysed in order to find the optimized RF canopy.

STRENGTHS
Multidisciplinairy design project where everyone had it’s own role
In depth computational research is done on the overall design
Worked with a lot of programs - as well as plugins - to get qualitative results

OPPORTUNITIES
Needed more time to optimize all the data derived from the analysis.
Challenging to contribute with input that is useful for every role in the multidisciplinairy project.

IMPROVING ACOUSTICAL COMFORT BY CONICAL SHAPED ELEMENTS
5. BUCKY LAB - DELFT
DURATION
20 weeks
STRENGTHS
A lot research on the acoustical performances of the cones - design by research.
Performed accurate acoustical tests of 3D-printed samples using an impedence tube.
Did a lot of prototyping - 3D-printing, turning wood lathe, concreet mold, vacuum forming.
Built our own vacuum forming machine to produce the cones efficiently.
The cones had unexpectedly high absorptioncoëfficients - close to 1 at multiple frequencyranges.
OPPORTUNITIES
Finding a way to make samples more efficient compared to 3D-printing.

16. TRAFFIC PHOTOGRAPHED
7. MOODLIGHT
This portfolio was made for the course ‘Photomedia & Artistic Practice’ that I followed in Brisbane. In my portfolio I wanted to experiment with light
painting. Therefore I started shooting photographs of traffic by night. All the photographs share this principle and are all are based on lines. These
lines imply distance. The distance between my home country The Netherlands and Australia. I put intensity in the photographs by composition
and color and I wanted to convey the impression to the viewer that the center of the photograph is the part where all the emotions come together.

17. 8. URBAN PANORAMA’S
BRISBANE - SOUTHBANK VIEW
BRISBANE - STORY BRIDGE VIEW
SYDNEY
I often look for opportunities to explore and develop myself. I did so when studying in Brisbane, Australia for one semester. This period I developed
a revived interest in photography, which resulted in staying up late and waking up early to get the most out of the shots. Below you can find a few
of my panorama’s. The greyscale photo on the next page was shot by the Tamron AF 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 Di || with a Canon 40D body. The other
panorama’s as well as the panorama on top of Ben Lomond in Queenstown New Zealand was shot with the Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM.My
main interest in photography is actually not urban panorama’s, but has more to do with landscapes, nature, wildlife, and deserted sceneries. A few
of those shots can be found on the next pages.

19. 10. SOUND DIFFUSERS
Diffusion, in acoustics and architectural engineering, is the efficacy by which sound energy is spread evenly in a given environment. A perfectly
diffusive sound space is one that has certain key acoustic properties which are the same anywhere in the space. Diffusers are used to treat sound
aberrations in rooms such as echoes. They are an excellent alternative or complement to sound absorption because they do not remove sound
energy, but can be used to effectively reduce distinct echoes and reflections while still leaving a live sounding space. I worked out various types of
diffusers, for example the ‘primitive root diffuser’. The bandwidth of these diffusers have a range from 573 Hz to 4047 Hz. The acoustical panels
are made of wood because of sustainability reasons, the appearance and the better performance compared to the general alternatives such as
plastics and polymers.

The lathe is a machine tool which holds the work-
piece between two rigid and strong supports
called centers or in a chuck or face plate which
revolves. The cutting tool is rigidly held and
supported in a tool post which is fed against the
revolving work. The work will shape line symme-
trical in its center.
The lathe hasn't changed in principle since it was
a primitive, bow-powered tool that is said to have
been invented in ancient Egypt.
