The document summarizes a high-density housing development project in Amsterdam consisting of approximately 3000 units built between 1990-2000. The development, called East-Harbor, includes three islands - Java, Sporenburg, and Borneo - laid out on a grid with architecture inspired by Amsterdam's historic canal houses. A variety of Dutch and international architects were commissioned to design housing blocks in different styles, creating a diverse collection of modern interpretations of the traditional row houses. The high-density plan maximizes waterfront access and open spaces throughout the residential area.
"Architecture is an artistic craft, but at the same time it is also a scientific profession, it is precisely its distinctiveness"
"Architecture is a service."
"When style gets to become a brand, a personal seal, this becomes a cage"
"The architect is first and foremost a builder, but also should be a poet, and above all a humanist''
Hereby, I tried to make a case study report on the mixed-use building, for the sake of my design development. I tried to choose futuristic development on the condition of present Bangladesh.
Hope this study will help anyone to gain an idea on Mixed-use building

La naturaleza política y la trayectoria económica de los gobiernos kirchneristasIADERE
Los doce años transcurridos desde el día en que Néstor Kirchner anunció a los argentinos que no había venido a gobernar para dejar sus convicciones en la puerta de la Casa Rosada, han ido marcando una línea ascendente en la confrontación con el bloque dominante. Como bien se señala en la presente investigación de CIFRA, la confrontación con las patronales agrarias en el 2008 constituyó el punto de inflexión a partir del cual el hostigamiento del poder económico fue persistente y sistemático.
Desde la recuperación de la democracia hasta hoy, salvo durante la breve gestión de Grinspun en el gobierno de Alfonsín, el núcleo empresarial más poderoso dictó siempre a su antojo las medidas económicas. Esto explica el grado de aversión y la inquina con que de manera pertinaz la clase dominante argentina, intentó expulsar lo que consideraba una suerte de intrusión en un terreno que siempre tuvo bajo control.

The cubism started in France in the early 20th century (around 1907), but its ideas and concepts have continued to influence art today.
The early 20th century was a time of change in the art world in France, yet cubism was still highly rejected. Many people said it was ugly and they could not understand it.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

A tale about our culture around the use of fertilizers and pesticides visiting small farms around Ahmedabad in Matar and Shilaj.
2. Partial map of Amsterdam Downtown showing concentric canals and radial layout,
designed and constructed in the 17th century (the “Golden Century”).
3. Typical canal-house 17th century, with stepping order in sizes of stories, and a
separation between a ‘front’ and a ‘back’ house.
4. • Design for canal-’rowhouses’ for rent (1642) by one of Amsterdam’s most famous
architects of those days, Philips Vingboons, for a charity institution (‘gasthuis’).
5. • Design for ‘canal-rowhouses’ for rent by Architect Vingboons (1652), again for a charity institution.
6. Then, probably one of the first in it’s kind, around 1673 a 298 units social
housing project was designed by Philips Vingboons, in commission for 3
charity institutions in the city.
7. • The houses were designed for a particular kind of craftspeople,
weavers, in an effort to bring a new impulse to the declining economy
for the weavers inAmsterdam.
8. • Photo (left) and engraving (right) of design for Vingboons’ ‘Weavershomes’.
9. • In the 1920’s a social housing project consisting of approx. 300 units with general
facilities and shops was designed by famous Architect J.J.P. Oud for the “Kiefhoek” in
Rotterdam. Oud was a functionalist and member of “De Stijl”.
• The 2-story, 3-bedroom units were meant for families, and were based on 4 meter
wide x 7 meter long (13’-4” x 23’-0” approx.) bays. The economy of plan, the
neighborhood layout, the new construction materials and the overall control in
Architectural treatment and style, make it a significant project.
10. • Back to Amsterdam, here of the eighties, and the canalhouses; a modern ‘infill’ along the river
the ‘Amstel’ (from which the city derives its’ name; a ‘dam in the Amstel’) by Dutch Architect
(Cees) Dam & Partners. Note the narrower canal-houses to the right.
11. • Project areas in Eastern Harbour area; Java, Sporenburg & Borneo ‘islands’ (from top to bottom), named after
islands in the Dutch colonies in the East-Indies.
• Java was developed first, based on a ‘grand boulevard’ type of scheme to the East and ‘City-block with canals and
bridges’ to the West, designed by Dutch Architect Sjoerd Soeters. It features many modern takes on canalhouses.
12. Project area for ‘Borneo & Sporenburg’ after a design by Dutch Landscape and Urban Design firm ‘West 8’. The
plan is based on a 13’-4” grid, on which 3 (and some 4-story) housing blocks form an ‘ocean’ of row-houses, and
is strategically cut by diagonals to introduce sightlines, landscaping and orientation points. Most of the 3-(and 4-)
story row-houses are for sale, while two of the big blocks contain mostly apartments for rent. The overall density
achieved compares to Rd-30. The chart shown above lists all the architects who were assigned to design a
particular ‘block’ or part of it. It pretty much has become a ‘sample menu’ for the top of modern architecture in
Holland, with only a few exceptions for foreign Architects; Miralles & Tagliabue Architectes Associates from
Barcelona, and Steven Holl from the US.
13. • View from the South towards the North-East, looking at Borneo,
with one of the three ‘superblocks’, by Dutch Architect Koen van
Velsen.
14. • Looking North-West to Borneo, with nearby high-rise (not part of the project) towering over the ‘ocean’
of row-houses.
15. • At this particular point there are several relationships in
the Architecture to the water, as exemplified by the
’open facades’ with balconies, facing the waterfront.
16. • The facades strongly express the initial concept to alternate the built
bays with ‘open’ bays. Although they all got ‘filled in’, here it is done in
a way that suggests openness, allowing for light and green to enter
outdoor spaces.
17. • This superblock is by the Dutch Architect firm
‘Architecten Cie’. In the foreground, 3 story row-houses with carports and roof
terraces.
18. • This block of row-houses by Architect Van Herk & De Kleijn
features 2 levels of houses, with a parking garage half below
grade (on other side; see section next slide).
19. • Wedge-shaped units on the lower levels, have their entry off an outdoor court, and relate back to the street
on the other side of the block, while the upper units are accessed through an upper level ‘half-outdoor’
street, and have ellipsical penthouses with specific views through slot-like windows.
20. • This is at one of the ‘ends’ of the blocks, where they face North and East wards, with spectacular views
of the IJ and the ships that come thru. This block features an outdoor alley inside the block, giving
access to individual garages. It is designed by “De Architecten Groep”. The specific location gives rise
to spectacular glass volumes hanging off the structure and full width balconies (in this case the units
use one side as their main front elevation instead of the narrow side. (See plans on next slide)
21. • The alley in the block is used on the upper levels for balconies and bringing in natural light. The
width of the blocks averages between 80’-0” and 102’-4” approximately, so in the floor plans
extensive use is made of patio’s, skylights and roof terraces, to make up for the relative lack of
ground floor level outdoor space.
22. • A very unique design was delivered by the Spanish Architects Miralles & Tagliabue AA; it seems
as if a stack of two units wants to ‘free’ itself more or less from the massive blocks of row-houses.
23. • It is one of the very few exceptions in the plan where it was allowed for the
Architects to go up more than the general 3-story height.
24. • They ‘squeeze’ 3 units on the side where the cars are parked, and backdoor entrances are
located. The tower houses two units on top of each other, with separate staircases wrapping
around each other. The organic layouts and facades are reminiscent of work of Gaudi, also
from Barcelona.
25. • A walk thru the area shows a variety of street elevations, with a lot of repetition, but
very often with a ‘musical’ quality to it, in terms of rhythm and patterns….

31. • One street or block has been sold off per parcel, with the option to
have your ‘own architect’. This has resulted in the most poetic and
varied modern take on the historic canal-houses, as well as a
showcase for many even more extreme concepts than shown in the
rowhouses.
