Flux has worked on the HWBP project book and conducted a design study into dikes and circularity. Circularity is an important theme for HWBP Program. That is why the designers of Flux landscape architecture were asked to take a fresh look at this theme. In a design study, they explore the impact of the broad concept of circularity and sketch possible scenarios for a circular dyke of the future. In collaboration with graphic designers Koehorst in't Veld and copywriter Sofia Opfer.
Flux presents project Eetbare Waddenkust as part of exposition Act& Adapt Groningen
Nine landscape architects from the Netherlands and abroad took up the challenge to design the future landscape of Groningen. They sought for climate adaptive solutions at several locations in this unique landscape. All locations are located in a proverbial slice of cake between Schiermonnikoog and Zuidlaren. Roughly located in the flow valley of the Drentse Aa and the Hunze: the rivers that have largely formed Groningen. The plans are presented in an exposition which will be opened on 19th of January, to join the presentations, click here
Flux’ design of the NPD area in Utrecht, is in progress. The urban, dynamic side combined with the lee green quality, provides important starting notions for the design in which energetic, inspiring, socially sustainable places and encounters, and the local economy are central. Commissioned by AM and in collaboration with NL architects, Paul de Ruiter architects and the municipality of Utrecht.
The area between Nieuwegein, Houten and Utrecht (known as the A12 zone) is threatened to be developed as a new housing location. Flux presents an alternative plan for the area, in which the potential as landscape park and ‘green lung’ for the metropole region of Utrecht will be fully exploited. Flux presents this alternative (and unrequested) plan through the newsletter of the Utrecht Provincial Advisor Spatial Quality (PARK) Paul Roncken.
Team FSD, with VMX and Flux landscape architecture, wins the tender for Coolhaven Rotterdam. The project area of 'Coolbase' will be developed into a green park at the Coolhaven in Rotterdam. The team has developed a design, including a new housing program and a high-quality waterfront park with an industrial character.
For the project Maanwijk in Leusden, Robert Kapel from Flux has given an interview. Maanwijk is a new neighbourhood in the south of Leusden. The green layout and integration of the landscape are essential in the design of the neighborhood. Based on the themes of green, sustainability, health and social cohesion, a vision has been developed for the urban plan and the public space design.
In the past months the Flux-team has grown, we now have 4 new team members: landscape designer Kasper Neeleman, landscape- and urban designer David de Boer, landscape architect Tom van Heeswijk and landscape designer Tim Gämperle. Flux is a multidisciplinary office of 15 people with different designing backgrounds.
Flux is looking for new interns per February/March 2021
Flux is working on a spatial vision for the Nozema Zendstation
In collaboration with Braaksma & Roos architects, Flux is working on a spatial vision and design of the outdoor areas of the Nozema zendstation, a former transmitting station in Lopikerkapel. Considering the transformation of this National Monument to a multifunctional location, Flux will research how this cultural historical (transmitting)landscape will look in the future.
Flux presents research landscape-inclusive agriculture
How can we make a better deal between farmers and society? In 3 regions teams of designers did research on how agriculture can be landscape-inclusive, commissioned by, and in collaboration with College van Rijksadviseurs. One of these regions is De Marne, where Flux landscape architecture, together with the Louis Bolk Institute and Kennis Centrum Landschap of the Rijksuniversity Groningen did research on. In the project local farmers and partners were involved, with whom the perspective ‘landschapsinclusieve landbouw Marne 2050’ has been formed. A perspective that makes a clever link between agriculture, nature and landscape.
