Of Flotsam And Jetsam
Tutor: Bruno Peeters
Design Studio, Co-Simplicity
KU Leuven semester 2, 2016
A proposal in critical response to OMA's masterplan for Dampoort which aims to save the DOK and it's socio-cultural values.
I saw this exchange semester as an opportunity to explore a composite drawing relating to the narrative and design intent, instead of a more traditional panel layout.
The final presentation was 1:500 @ A0.

Atelier Sud - Karachi: Clifton Beach
Tutor: Christophe Polack
Exchange elective
KU Leuven semester 2, 2016
Team: Ilana Razbash, Stefan Frey & Eva Neefs
Our proposal dismantles and activates the wall surrounding Clifton Beach park and Bagh Ibn-e-Qasim park. These infinite oppertaions of decomstructing and re-arraging wall portions restores access to the most important public space in Karachi - Clifon Beach, while also allowing existing activities and stakeholders to flourish. By targeting critical access points, the local community might be inspired to continue deconstructing and enhabiting the remaining wall portions.

"This green passage has the most sculpted treads in the Sint-Lucas building. Generations of first monks, then architecture students have worn down these treads. The steps have been moulded and eroded along the shortest and most convenient route. There is a lot of movement here, there is flow. Students perch themselves on the worn down timbers when there is nowhere else to sit. Our waterfall highlights this observation..."
