1 INFORM Architecture Urbanism Reseach Portfolio Peter Botz

2 Before you lies my Portfolio, INFORM. A symbolic title which can be read in one or two words. Besides the usual portfolio information it accentuates the essence of [my] architecture; form. Form that follows but can also be leading, archetypical or a-typical, form arising from the mass or from the void. In any case, a form that is clear and understandable. In my projects I m always looking for a powerful simplicity, a naturalness that primarily results from studying and [re]defining the program, in stead of merely facilitating it. Leading to a tailored solution rather than to linger in confection. Therefore in my eyes design and research reinforce each other and my presented projects show my interpretation of this. Peter Botz

4 collective individuality: social housing competition madrid facade and cross section of the building

5 modular construction with interchangeable floor plans Despite the limited means that characterizes social housing design, we ve realised an apartment complex that offers a maximum experience of luxury and individuality. Because of the interchangeable residential modules between the structural frame of the building, a personal involvement from the residents is made possible. So various dwelling types above and beside each other can easily be realized. A large passage opens the backside area and connects the opposite schools with the residential neighborhood.

8 Hotel Mozaic / concept / renovation / redevelopment Hired by Urban Affairs to work on this assignment I was closely involved in the redevelopment of the The Hague City Hotel Mozaic. Two old mansions in the Archipel Neighborhood in use as a hotel, but not organized as such, have been renovated on the in- and outside. In short the assignment was to improve the internal organization, defining a typical room concept and renewal of the rear facade. The first challenge was to make a logical and functional room distribution within the limits of the existing bearing walls. Strategic passages and a two-story room created the space to qualify for the 3 star standard. concept image

10 Facade Transformation: 1 before / 2 model / 3 after / 4 window variety

11 The next challenge was to break with the standard, neutral hotelroom principle. Unexpected bathroom configurations surprise and break with the standard layout. The rooms gain character by bringing the outside in. The atmosphere of the neighborhood reflects on the storyhigh photo impressions on the wall. Because of the new internal reorganization, the backside could be stripped with emergency exits and decorated with typical viewing windows, which characterizes the individuality of the rooms and give a view at the neighborhood.

14 Prix de Rome Through a comprehensive process of research and design, FABRIC formulated a new design position. In which local bottom-up initiatives are linked to global top-down trends and are converted into opportunities that accommodate short-term wishes and long-term targets within a flexible design. Given shape at and around the August Allebéplein in Amsterdam West, in the form of strategic densifications for entrepreneurship. And a public domain of characteristic squares responding to environmental, social and infrastructural wishes and challenges.

28 HELSINKI North Brabant 2040 The province of North Brabant faces a double challenge, of strengthening their position in Europe and at the same time making the necessary budget cuts. Therefore it needed to form a strategic agenda focusing on core tasks serving both goals. Playing a major role in creating a method which translated global trends into local challenges, to prioritize and choose from. We ve organized and visualized the topics by diagrams, maps and collages, resulting into a workbook during, and a final agenda afterwards the process.

37 In the design of the Sunrise campus, we have reserved space in the center for an attractive, green environment. This space could be freed by combining in a clever way essential ecosystems with the desired working environment. The central biotope is the architectural elaboration of this and contributes actively to the C2C cycles within the area. By sustainable design, the water and energy consumption is minimized. In addition to this, the internal cycles are optimized by integrating water treatment and power generation within the area. C2C principles of the central biotope

40 Critical mass is a residential building for Western expats responsive to the social isolation that comes over these people. When they resolutely swap their daily life and surrounding for an alienating and unfamiliar environment such as of the Chinese commercial cities. By integrating public space and supporting facilities in the apartment building I designed an environment which stimulates social interaction. The design principles I have found in the historic Long Tang districts are used as a guideline for the social structure of the building and are also followed to ensure a better urban integration. The urban development of Shanghai in the last century has a clear turning point in recent decades. Historic structures are converted to Western models without realizing the consequences of these changes. Critical Mass [a physics term for the minimum matter needed to keep a reaction going] refers to the lack of this, which is likely to result in a critical point of no return. The design is a research for finding a method more appropriate for an urban renewal suiting the specific historical context. The design attempts to provide sufficient critical mass to stimulate a new way of thinking, which brings more balance in the city renewal. Fall 2008 graduation committee; dr.ir. Jos Bosman, dipl. ing Hüsnü Yegenoglu, dr. Jeroen Boomgaard

41 wide perspective on ground level

42 The building is designed so that the city continues on the inside of the building. As with the LongTangs, where openings in the district admit the unknown, my design has also a porous plinth. Traffic flows pass therefore easily through the building. By admitting the shortest route from the opposing areas on the site, there is a natural passage through the building making the public core of the building also work as such. 1 inner street & parking entry 2 Pedestrian route from opposing neighborhoods to the subway 3 North-South connection through the buiding

43 Within the strange environment of Chinese commercial cities, not only alienating through language and script, but also by habits, laws and scale, for several years the expat has to build up a new social circle to compensate for the one left behind. From this perspective, I have opted for a new type of dwelling / building in Shanghai designed around expats. It aims to accelerate social interaction through adding collective elements. Passively by strategic spaces and places for spontaneous meetings and actively by integrating additional facilities aiming at the expats. Routing through the public space within

44 Mixing function, the houses are blue and the facilities are green / yellow facing the west facing the east facing the south facing the north The combination of a program with facilities and housing usually has a layered structure. A commercialized plinth with separate dwelling layers on top. This creates two worlds, the public space and the domestic floors. By maximizing the tangent between these two functions an interesting public space arises. The functions are spread deeper into the building, which not only increases the spatial experience, but mostly the functionality of the public atrium.

45 Conventional configuration of mixed use buildings

46 The tangents of the various functions are intensified on four plazas in the building. (Raised) ground levels, which function as public fields in the atrium. They represent the role of street or square in a conventional neighborhood. And they unlock all the apartments and provide access to the facilities on and below the plazas. Initiated interaction with the public space is the starting point for the overall design of the building, it provides from bottom to top in moments for interaction on the crossing points of several routes. In total three different routes meet each other in different places. These specified routes serve various users, on one hand the residents of the apartments and on the other the visitors of the facilities. Similar to the movement within the LongTangs, they are direct and functional for the residents and those for the visitors revealing and wandering.

47 The four (elevated) ground levels Residential route: the shortest route, takes the elevator to the specified plaza providing acces to the apartments. Without a forced detour it still crosses interactive fields creating moments for collectivity in the route. Visitor s route: the route to the facilities ascends the building in smaller steps to maintain the visual connection between the functions. It consists of a sequence of escalators that climbs the building as a ribbon, and intersects the plazas. Connecting route: finally, there is a less formal route in the building which consists of various stairs and ramps. These elevation points are an alternative to elevator or escalator and make quick short cuts possible.

48 graduation research REGIE without Regime Analysis portman atria The research builds on the text Atlanta by Rem Koolhaas in which he criticizes the architectural interventions in the city by John Portman. According to Koolhaas, the hotel atrium becomes in Portman s hands a capsular elements that shuns the outside world and confines visitors as voluntary prisoners. The primary objective of this study was to determine if there are capsular characteristics in the atria of Portman and, if so, what are these characteristics and through which architectural interventions are they created. Atrium of the Marriot Marquis Hotel in Atlanta.

49 Different ideologies, same approach, In one glance, the similarities between the Capsule Tower (1965) of Archigram and Portman s Atrium Hotel can be recognized, minimal and optimized living quarters and across from them a collective living environment. however The difference are also visible, the capsule tower forces everyone to be part of the public space, while the hotel creates an inbetween space, an empty belly, where the happy few can distance themselves from the rest. Portman designed an alternative, competing public spaces in hotels. Archigram s Capsule Tower and Portman s Marriot Marquis Atriumhotel.

50 that Portman uses these atria as an alternative is shown by it s accessibility. As in the schedule is shown, this evolved into a route where the contact with the outside is completely deprived. This neutralizes the awareness of the inside by the visitor and gives him the opportunity to realise a substitute outside through the strategic use of a number of architectural means. This turns his hotels into a capsular environment that tempts visitors to stay within the building and deprives it from it s context. evolution of the Atrium accessibility.

52 Not the experience of what is, but what isn t there, makes the capsule. The structural incompleteness of the setting creates the base of the capsular area. A city is characterized not only by size and high densities but also by urban problems. If you are able to direct that urbanity it allows you to filter on and/or exclude; terms which the capsular is based. The space degenerates in capsularity. it is a world of its own, with lakes, shops, restaurants and trees. The buildings are above, but in these public spaces you are aware only of the elevators. John Portman Collages; filtering of the urban environment.

53 Capsular scheme; The archi-tectural structure of the hotel atrium. The scheme shows the transformation of the capsular space, the individual components are neutral, but through the combination and way of applying them, they turn into a capsular climate after a number of stages, which allows Portman to restage a directed alternative urban environment. autumn 2006 attendants; HüsnÜ Yegenoglu/Jos Bosman

54 TrainSquare (IN)Security & (Public)Space Master Project StatioN Heerlen SPRING 2005 RENEWED vision ON THE BUILDING t y p o l o g Y station attendant: Theo Hauben

55 My vision for the new train station is based on the growing sense of insecurity in public spaces. The station area is an clear problem area in this matter, characterized by a vague no man s land between public and private. Insecurity or fear in public space derives from both physical and psychological impulses. important factors are: - awareness and confrontation with real threats - fear for strangers voor estrangement - Associations: vandalism / pollution / decay the reduction or complete elimination of impulses works against the feelings of fear and insecurity. Specifically to the train station it means: - giving The station a non-station like look. The train station associates with chaos, rush, obscurity. factors for a defensive attitude - introducing facilities, they strengthen social control - Fear also results from suspicion of what one does not know. By confronting and clarifying the individual with his fears, his anxiety will be weakened. concretely I came to the following conclusion: To completely get rid of the negative impulses on the experience of the visitor, The train station can not continue to exist. The new station is resolved in its urban context. Platforms become train stops and typical primary and secondary stations functions get a place in the local setting.
