Following the Merwedekanaalzone research climate adaptive, an overview and film was made about the approach of Flux landscape architecture within this project. The design research shows a range of possibilities how urban issues can be implemented in a climate-adaptive city. More info:
AM, Flux landscape architecture and Common Affairs won the tender for the development of an energy-neutral residential area in Krommenie. With the winning plan 'Eilanden van Hain', Zaanstad will have a water-rich residential area with approximately 235 ground-level homes. The plan is logically anchored in the landscape and all houses have a direct address to the extensive waterways network of Noord Holland. For the realization of the plan, based on the principles of the old villages in the Zaanstreek, we cooperate with Staatsbosbeheer, Arcadis, BAM Energy Systems, Kuijs Reinder Kakes, Van der Tol and Beaumont communicatie.
The team of Flux landscape architecture and Studio Rap was selected from 100 entries for the Park Huis Doorn competition together with four other teams. For the assignment, a design is requested for a bridge, a pavilion and a folly. The winning designs will be executed. Other teams are Anouk Vogel Landscape Architecture, Gijs Van Vaerenbergh, Maatschap Observatorium, and Rink Tilanus.

Commissioned by the Werkspoorkathedraal, Flux is working on a study into the circular potential of the building and its surroundings. The focus is laid on several flows: water, energy, ecology and food.
The results of the ‘Kracht van Overvecht’-project have been published. Flux was part of a design team on the theme of energy together with Except. The other teams were Lola / Tauw / MA.AN / SOON. Commissioned by AORTA & led by JanDirk Hoekstra.
Flux is working on the design of a shared inner garden for a block in Houthavens, commissioned by Synchroon and in collaboration with Shift architecture urbanism. Image by Shift architecture urbanism.
Flux has made a design for the school playground of the Odyssee elementary school. A continuous playful route with all kinds of play activities ensures a clear distribution of the program and at the same time connects all the different places of the school playground.

Flux and marco.broekman are selected to develop a vision on the natural living environment (Natuurlijke Leefomgeving) for Hart van Holland, a regional collaboration of ten municipalities surrounding the city of Leiden. Together with the municipality of Zoeterwoude we will organize a series of ateliers this year. For these sessions a diverse group of stakeholders will be invited to work on topics related to climate adaptation, water quality, biodiversity, soil subsidence and attractive landscapes with strong green-blue structures. Besides, we will interact with four parallel research processes in Hart van Holland this year: energy transition, urbanization, mobility and digital information services.
For a design of a collective inner garden, the Flux team visited the Vandersanden factory, where we experimented and tested with a pattern of clinker bricks. Afterwards, the team received a tour through the factory to gain insight into the production process.
