Commissioned by ION and Green Real Estate, Flux is working with OZ architects on Podium Lelylaan. The former monumental Calvijn College, located in the urban renewal area Lelylaan is a subarea of Podium Lelylaan. Due to its unique location, the plan forms an important link between the old and new city, near Amsterdam Lelylaan railway station. The development is called 'Het Cornelium' and will be a creative heart including housing, community rooms and a cultural breeding ground where artists can live and work. The lush landscape at ground level and the food-roof with its communal garden make an important contribution to the quality of life for both people and animals. Much attention is paid to nature, including a large number of trees, rocks for small reptiles, insect hotels, bat boxes, dozens of (singing) bird houses and animal-friendly lighting.
Together with 99 other inspiring models, the maquette of Flux is on display at the exhibition of the Ministerie van Maak! With 100 models exhibited, the Ministerie van Maak! wants to contribute to the radical transformation of the Netherlands and offer concrete solutions to the housing shortage, energy transition and the consequences of climate change.
Haven't been there yet? You can see the exhibition until Sunday 13 November 2022 at Keileweg 25 in Rotterdam.

Commissioned by the Province of Flevoland, Flux worked on the vision for the Noordoostpolder. The Noordoostpolder is a landscape monument. New challenges in agriculture, such as scaling-up and chain extension, are in need of reflection. For instance, are these trends a danger or an opportunity for the Noordoostpolder? In this design research, Flux examined what the Noordoostpolder needs to accommodate these changes and what values can be offered in terms of liveability, cultural history, accessibility, biodiversity, utility value, amenity value and climate.
Commissioned by the Province of Flevoland and part of the Stimuleringsfonds Programma Toekomstbestendig Landelijk Gebied and of the publication Transities!
