Flux landscape architecture has been selected to develop a vision on the village edges of Woudenberg. From the landscape characteristics a spatial vision on the village, the edges of the village and the adjacent landscape will be developed, with several programs in it.
Commissioned by the Municipality of Woudenberg.
Flux has been doing a design research on dikes and mobility. The changes in mobility in The Netherlands have consequences for the design of the dikes and its reinforcement assignment. Flux has been researching the relationship between mobility and the history of dikes and has come up with possible solutions for future dikes. The research was done as part of the annual project book of the HWBP. In collaboration with Koehorst in’t Veld and Sofia Opfer.
For the design research of the Amsterdamse Scheggen, Flux has made 2 scale models. The exhibition in Arcam is opend untill the 10th of may. Look for photo’s here:
The team of Zecc architects and Flux landscape architecture have been selected to make a design for ‘kavel 1’ in the dikezone along the river ‘Waal’ in Nijmegen. In this widespread floodplain landscape an urban, architectural and landscape design will be made for a new housing block with references to a typical characteristic: the ‘terp’.
Flux has worked on this area before, making a spatial vision for the Waaldijk reinforcement in relation to housing development. Kavel 1 is commissioned by BPD and VanWonen.
Flux landscape architecture has been selected in association with Shift architecture and urbanism, Bureau Stadsnatuur, Tom Bosschaer and Acacia Water for the tender Panorama Lokaal.
Divided over 7 municipalities 21 teams will study the neighborhoods of the 1960’s to the 80’s of the last century. These neighborhoods need a substantial refurbishment and need to become climate-proof. In the upcoming months Flux and Shift will be working on the neighborhood Westwijk in Vlaardingen, NL.
In the last six months the Flux-team has grown, we now have 4 new team members: landscape architect Kris Kersten, designer Casimir Smitsmans, designer Lianne Hendriks and administrative assistant and designer Rixt Meeuwissen. Flux now is a multidisciplinary office of 13 people with different designing backgrounds.
Team Kondor Wessels together with OZ en Flux landscape architecture wins compretion in the “Bakemabuurt”in Amsterdam. “De Baak” focuses on green, light and visibility on all sides.
In the spirit of the original plans for the 'Westelijke Tuinsteden', we consider green as a structural element in the urban design. The amount of collective green and the green wedges in which 'De Baak' is positioned, give the entire strip a park-like character. Our interpretation of the plot is aimed at reinforcing the presence of the park at this location and converting the fragmentation of green into more unity. By embedding 'De Baak' in the greenery, the building is placed in the middle of the park. This creates a unity that clearly shows how buildings and park go together in the 'Westerlijke Tuinsteden'. The grass carpet is characteristic of post-war neighborhoods. The greenery folds from the public and active plinth on the street side around the building and over the parking garage, to a park-like place with many trees and a collective atmosphere. Collective rooms surrounded by low hedges are designed in the grass carpet. The rooms are programmed by future residents of “De Baak”. In this way, a certain liveliness arises from the residents living in the block. They will feel ownership of a location where visitors are welcome.
Flux has been working on a water vision for Delfland in the past few months. The vision visualizes the watersystem, the most important water issues and other related issues. The water vision is set up as an interactive document that can be used in consultation with multiple parties.
Jonas Papenborg from Flux has given an interview in the Noordhollands Dagblad about the Wedges of Amsterdam project. This article argues a radical approach to maintaining and utilizing the quality of the wedges. The article discusses a study done for ARCAM. in which Flux worked on the Zaanse Wedge and Waterland Wedge.
Gerwin de Vries from Flux, together with Rens de Boer from Bureau Stadsnatuur, gave a lecture to the Municipality of The Hague about nature-inclusive building. This was followed by a discussion with employees of the municipality about a good integration of the ecological assignment and the densification assignment in the city of The Hague.
