2012

In this portfolio you find works from my activities on architectural offices, competitions and from my study Architecture at the TU Delft.

Architecture for me is essentially creating spaces and places for people, to live, learn, work or relax, but above all spaces and places where people can meet each other.

See and be seen, spaciousness, human scale, materialization, detailing, and sustainability are my key aspects to create spaces and places that are surprising, challenging but comfortable.

From my background as a building engineer, my goal is to reach a high level of integration of structure and plant within the architectonical concept.

In addition to architecture, I have in recent years been a growing fascination for fashion and fashion concepts. Silhouette, layering and transparency, textures and patterns are aspects that interest me as an architectural designer. For some time now I have the urge to do something with both passions as a designer. From this drive I participated in a competition for a fashion museum in Tokyo.

My aim is to research, in future individual projects and if possible in collaboration with offices or fashion designers, how cross-fertilization between architecture and fashion could lead to new innovative projects.

Joost van Dijk

My interest in architecture and desiging began as a young newspaper boy, daily cycling in the early morning through Dutch neighborhoods of different afterwar periods.

In1996 I started my Bachelor in Building Engineering at the Hogeschool Utrecht. After receiving my Bachelor Degree I shifted for my Master in Architecture to the Faculty of Architecture at the TU Delft in 2000, where I succesfully graduated in 2004.

Since 2005 I have worked first as Assistent Designer and later as Junior Architect at Van den Berg Kruisheer Elffers Architects in Rotterdam. Here i worked on a big range of projects like secondary schools, care housing, hospitals, church studies and housing.

My skills are in concept and design developement, detailing and technical design solutions, supported by free hand drawing, graphic design software, autocad drawing and 3D modeling.

Since 2012 I started as a freelance architect to work on a project bases.

Hybrid TubeCar Park TowerHong Kong HK

To decrease the vertical driving distance by car there is chosen for a hybrid parking concept with short-term ‘manual’ parking on a helix ramp for the lower levels and an automatic parking system on stacked floors on the upper levels. In between both parking systems is the semi-public clear space for different kind of events. A bar-café and outdoor terrace on top gives public an experience of the total height of the tower, the different functions inside the tower and a view on Hong Kong and its Victoria Harbour.

The structural concrete façade is perforated by different sizes of grain of rice-shapes in a double helix pattern, referring to the rice wholesalers of Victoria City, who gathered there owing to its proximity to the shore. The helices reflects the movement of cars behind the façade. . The tower is connected with Connaught Road by some bridge-like ramps coming out of a solid volume, referring to the passenger bridges that once (VC-period) connected here the boats with the boulevard.

Green ShelterEuropan 11Almere NL

This plan is to create a framework for the future planning that would become a ‘living in green’ pilot project of city of Almere. For this we are proposing a framework called the ‘Green Shelter’.

Similar to what it means, Green Shelter acts under this framework: capturing the water; natural noise buffer between the outside and the inside of the Green Shelter; guideline of living quality; accessibility system in a form of pedestrian path network; creating a pavilion building which can be transformed for other uses

The developer’s plan is to transform the program of a new info centre and sales office pavilion into a house and to relocate it from the urban area to the forest. But the question is, will there even be a buyer for the house within the period as it is planned? Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t. Why not make it more flexible so it could be used for a much wider range of functions, depending on the market? That will add more sustainability and that is what Green Shelter does!

Back to the cityRenovation Courthouse Brussels BE

For the realization of the Palace of Justice in 1883 had a large part of the working-class quarter Marolles make way for a new megalomaniac courthouse.

Now, one and a half century later, the building no longer meets the current requirementsand is struggling with various problems for contemporary use.

The courthouse can get elsewhere in Brussels a better location in a new and in a modern way tailored cut building.

It’s time to the current building and the current spot to give back to the residents of the district and the city of Brussels.

Fasion etalage for the city Tokyo Fashion MuseumTokyo JP

Walking through Omotesando street your eyes are captured by an elegant figure. It’s a white and transparent vertical fashion étalage that showcases Japanese fashion of the different decades from within. Imagine a doll house, piles of boxes with drawer-like showcases where dolls with beautiful dresses are kept there to be displayed. Opened on two sides visually connecting the Tokyo tower and the fashionable Harajuku district, the étalage runs on both sides of the building from head to toe. It is like a doll house that stores a whole collection of every fashion trend from time to time.

The runway is a giant live display window, where during fashion shows models strut along the glass façade. Both the street and the runway crowd are becoming the audience of the fashion show.

Standing tall, the fashion étalage of the city is a mark of the Omotesando fashion district.

Visual EyesSky Bridge Rotterdam Eye Hospital, Rotterdam NL

Wavy light walls and a dark wooden floor guide visitors, patients and staff in a friendly manner from Rotterdam Eye Hospital to the adjacent Viso and vice versa.

Eye-shaped cuts in the facades offer views of both the neighborhood and the skyline of Rotterdam.

On the upper floor of the bridge, visitors and patients have the opportunity to sit on a bench and read a book, to rest from a tiring day or to enjoy the view. The lower floor offers the staff a new short cut along the patio.

As passer-by walking on the Schiedamse Vest the Eye Bridge is visible in a blink of the eye.

Hildo KropstraatStarters apartments & childcareNieuwegein NL

The residential building with day nursery is the gateway to a new green zone with surrounding residential buildings in an downtown location of Nieuwegein, still dominated by small industry.

The all-sided appearance of the building is formed by making the plasticity of the volumes (set-back, canopy, sun terrace) part of the whole.

A frame in the facade with open and closed interpretation gives an industrial character to the building, in line with the principles of the municipality for developments in this area.

Veranda Core HouseTypological study to a breathing house

With the veranda core house there can be ventilated when the season or circumstances permitting, by means of double facades.

The house itself with all the main areas is the core and has a first facade. The second facade stands with a wide radius of the first facade and consists of lamellen which can be entirely opened or closed.

The ‘in between zone’ is in winter an extension of the living spaces and in summer an outdoor space.

Within the same concept, several ‘compositions’ are possible: detached, 2-under-one-roof or row houses.

A new school on a smaller part of the existing location demands a compact solution.

Important priciples:- Placing the auditorium on the first floor and aim it (‘link’) on the St. Martin Church in the old city of Zaltbommel;- Creating an atrium in the building where students and faculty can actually meet. A place where you can see and be seen and where theory and practice are linked together;- Creating the charisma of “a real technical school” through brick facades and shed roofs for practice rooms.

Kubieke Bos (Cubic Forest)Holland BridgeAlmere NL

How can we leave our car and walk into a hypnotic world stripped from the everyday distractions of the consumer?

A steel frame of five hundred to five hundred to two hundred fifty meters high, consisting of twelve modules with twelve by twelve meters, filled with trees. Light, air, views and rainwater to penetrate deep into the park by large open spaces in the park.

A tree to compensate for every time we fly. Lease Trees as CO2 compensation. A tree for every car that collided against it. Trees are silent witnesses. The trees for the forest.

Rietveld LivingCasa Nova 2007Poelpolder NL

Rietveld Living is living in an ecological park in the plan the “new water”. The park is publicly available and gets beside a recreational function also an ecological function.

In the middle of a large reed bed are three basins made for the storage of water in case of high water. At low tide the pools are dry and are overgrown with reeds.

Spread throughout the park are eight villas located overlooking the pools. The villas with their archetypal form are compact and have a raised terrace for a minor load on the park.

The villas come with a thatched roof and facades and blend into their environment.

Restructuring of the neighborhood Pendrecht Rotterdam NL

To break through the orthogonal structure of Pendrecht a new diagonal pedestrian ash is introduced between the existing underground railway station and a new metro station in the South West area of Pendrecht.

The diagonal can be interpreted as a connection when it is completed in its entirety, but even more as development axis, along which several functions can be established.

The existing open-stamp structure of the neighborhood is transformed into a more closed court structure.

It is easier to make a clearer separation between public and private to any of the court structure than to the open-stamp. In addition, each court has its own character as a public square, public garden and private garden. A collective terrace to the edges of the courts links them mutually

In two shiny metal beams live juvenile prisoners raised above the walls of the prison. They see only each other and the clouds in the sky, the city sees them though. Only during the descent from their living areas to the day program, they get a look at the surrounding city. Between the prison walls in silence, they then learn how to deal with life in the city. At night the juvenile return to their living area high above the city.

A floating carpet Rotterdam NLModule D2

An intervention in the interior of the city and ground floor of a building on the Oppert.

A colonnade of black shiny advertising monoliths guides the audience from the Binnenrotte one hand and the wooden bridge over ‘the Rotte’ the other over a ‘floating carpet’ next to the St. Lawrence Church. The monoliths can be independently shifted by tracks on the ground. So they can define ‘spaces’ on the floating carpet.

The ‘floating carpet’ connects the places around the ground floor of the building together and defines functions, transitions, movements and moods.

Living along the Schie, Delft NLModule A2

The location marks the transition between the quay on the Schie and the underlying district.

To the outside, the complex is hard and closed, to within just open and friendly with various ground levels and a diverse materialization.

Recognition of the home within a tight modernist envelope is key. Each house, each apartment must be externally identifiable as an individual.
