We are delighted to announce that Bram Willemse has been appointed associate partner at Flux since January 2025. In his work, Bram has made an indispensable contribution to the office as an urban planner, especially in design research around major transitions on a landscape scale. In his projects, he combines knowledge of complex systems around water, soil, food and energy with strong conceptual and visual power. In addition to his role as project manager at Flux, Bram will have responsibility for general work at the office, such as team supervision and planning.
Flux has recently developed multiple case studies for the design research Stadsflora. In these specific cases, Flux works closely with the designers and green and ecology departments of the cities. Several Dutch cities are involved in the research. One of the researched cases is the Nijmegen Kanaalknoop Zuid, commissioned by the municipality of Nijmegen. In this case Flux examined how flora and fauna can grow together with urban development and which strategy fits best in each development phase.
The Stadsflora research, initiated by Flux, is a design study about future-proof planting in the city. The research examines, among other things, the robustness of plants, how future climate conditions can be dealt with, what a natural approach to planting in the city can look like in compelling design principles and how greening the city can go hand in hand with affordable management.
Flux is commissioned by the municipality of Nijmegen to design the public space around the Dukenburg shopping center in Nijmegen. The projectarea is located in a strategic location in the city near the Dukenburg trainstation and is facing a major transformation. In collaboration with Rijnboutt.
Delfland Fresh-Salt
Flux conducted a scenario study for the Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland. The design study investigated what a strategy for fresh water might look like in the future, for how long the water system can be kept fresh and what the consequences are for nature, food production and urban challenges. In collaboration with ZUS and Deltares and part of the Redesigning Deltas research program of TU Delft and Deltares.
Commissioned by the Municipality of Eindhoven, Flux is working on a spatial design and implementation agenda for the Stadsdommel in Eindhoven. The river Dommel, now often hidden in the city, has the potential to become a solid green-blue structure with space for people and nature. Through this approach, a connection can be made between the city of Eindhoven and surrounding landscapes.
Flux is working, in collaboration with RoyalHaskoningDHV, on a future vision for De Peel. This vision gives direction to a multi-colored future; a Peel that transforms from a monofunctional production landscape to a rich palette of attractive landscapes, based on local soil conditions. In this NOVEX project, Flux is working together with 2 provinces, 3 water boards, 17 municipalities, LVVN, BZK and other departments.
Flux is working on the public space around the Galgenwaard stadium in Utrecht. Last week the first design was presented to stakeholders and interested people from the area. As an Utrecht based office we are very proud to work on this striking place in Utrecht. The public space will get a quality boost, in strong correlation with the planned urbanization of the area, the sports programs in and around the stadium and the location on the Kromme Rijn. Commissioned by the Municipality of Utrecht and in close cooperation with the various stakeholders in the area.
In collaboration with Civic, Flux was commissioned to create a vision for the station area of Amersfoort . All developments in and around the station are considered in context and translated into a spatial vision for the future. Commissioned by the municipality of Amersfoort, Bureau Spoorbouwmeester, ProRail and the provincie Utrecht.
Animation City Park Dordrecht
A distinctive park walk for different users, integration of sports and more space for nature and water. Flux landscape architecture commissioned by Municipality of Dordrecht.
Flux has been commissioned to create a vision for the Groene Woud. The area between Den Bosch, Eindhoven and Tilburg has future potential to become the green lung for the cities as a recreational area and also in the production of raw materials, clean water and food. Flux is investigating a spatial future perspective for the area, commissioned by the province of Noord-Brabant.
