3 Introduction What you will see is just a small top of the ice rock of my works in landscape architecture. First part represents my academic qualities in doing landscape research. In complex cases like my master thesis project extensive research is required. Research based design Second part shows my professional experience in designing from concept towards a constructable design. In any project practical know-how and a keen eye for detail are required. Designing to the detail My latest work is the ambitious competition entry for the Yinggeshi area Large-scale masterplanning Since my graduation I am also working on the smallest of garden design Designing for the most personal level My ambition is to improve my visualisation skills and practical knowledge to deliver in any project a masterpiece of a design, both individually and as a team.

4 Research based design Mining town Malmberget Organization: Wageningen University Type: master thesis Companion: Jules Neefjes Completed: September 2015 Place: Gällivare and Malmberget (S) The town will make way for the mine. The challenge is to connect with the place, its history and surrounding nature. According to our interviews, landscape analyses, comparable design studies and literature research, the forced movement has a tremendous impact on the 1600 households of Malmberget, but there are opportunities to meet their concerns. Tutor: ir. Paul Roncken polar circle Malmberget 1000 mi Wageningen 1. The location of Malmberget, in the sparsely dramatic route inhabited region of Northern Sweden. nostalgic route 0,5 mi 2. The phases in which the town will be broken down and closed-off by a fence. 1,0 mi 4. 4.

Impression on eyelevel at the entrance of the nostalgic route. 5. The people want to experience of history and to bring back the harmony with nature, as these values seem to be harmed most by the mine. The design answers with green corridors to increase the neighbourhoods accessibillity to the surrounding nature areas (3). The routes follow the streams, cross swamps and climb the sunny southern sides of the hills (4). Two routes connect with the town s location and its history. A dramatic route is about the town that had to move for the mine (5). Pillars symbolize the mining tunnels and rubble at the sides are the remains of the town. The second route depicts the nostalgic remembrance of the charming town that Malmberget used to be (6). A flourishing linear park on both sides of the road with a classic style of lighting and white garden fences

6 Designing to the detail Company: WES LandschaftsArchitektur Type: internship Completed: december 2013 Headquarters Campus, Hongqioa Working on challenging projects at an internationally operating office in collaboration with architects. Duration: 5 months Place: Hamburg (D) Tutor: Michael Kaschke 100 yd yd 1. The urban plan as designed by GMP Architects. 2. The first sketch of the landscape plan by Michael Kaschke, my tutor and partner landscape architect of WES Landschaftsarchitektur. My elaboration of the sketch in AutoCAD for the competition. On day 1 I was invited for joining a competition at the architect office of Gerkan, Marg and Partner (GMP). With only a few photographs Michael Kaschke and I were introduced to the place; a messy industrial area in between the endless apartment block neighbourhoods of shanghai, the location for hongqioa s new headquarters campus. Based on the urban plan (1) and Kaschke s sketch (2) I sketched the theme squares and the central park axis. After revision I had only a few days to digitalize it (3). The architects built a 3D model based on my plan and sections. The clear urban plan and the angular water banks were much appreciated by the commissioner and we won the competition. 6.

7 100 yd The last version of the masterplan in pre-design phase, elaborated by myself in AutoCAD and Photoshop. 2. Birdview of the masterplan, by GMP Architects. The light plan. After about a month the phase of pre-design was opened. And it was my responsibility to make the changes asked by the comissioner and the architects for feasibility reasons. The water in the park axis is changed by a sunken garden, because water would be too expensive. The green patches on the promenade are shrunken to make way for fire engines. And there were some changes for graphic and/or aesthetic reasons. Furthermore, I built a brochure with many elaborations like the planting plan and the light plan. 7.

In the outer bows of the sunken garden there are wooden sitting steps (1a, 1b, 1c). These invite to sit down or to enter the sunken garden. A stretched flower meadow where the flower coulours change and hedges follow the length, as a stream. The pavement is elaborated by size and grid. The construction details are drawn according to completed projects of WES. By this competition I learned insights about the practical aspects of a project and the logic in designing. Also learning to work with AutoCAD in combination with Photoshop. By learning this it was easy to work on the many other projects of WES. 2d. 8.

9 Steared by my motivation, my learning capacity and a healthy working pressure in the office I was adapted in many projects of WES hamburg. office presentation for i maestri del paesaggio congress total pre-design poject of headquarters campus planting plan villa garden // adjustments to masterplan and brochures city beach // masterplan shopping center projects VW Autostadt, like Bugatti Pavilion competition Headquarters Campus pre-/definitive design for six large china projects and two competitions August > Underneath is the time schedule, illustrating how long is spend on which project and how these alternate. From this scheme are the lines leading to the regarding project. September > October > November > December 2013 ] After the competition the ceo and co-founder Hinnerk Wehberg invited me to build his one hour presentation. Because of my graphic skills, I was favored to contribute to many projects in china and germany, like south bund of shanghai, a pavilion in volkswagen s autostadt, city beach in bremen and much more. 9.

10 Large-scale masterplanning Yinggeshi area Companies: SPAP & Büro Drecker Type: competition Completed: May 2016 Duration: 7 weeks Place: Bottrop-Kirchhellen (D) Project leader: Kai Stege The expansionist city Dalian reaches the mountainous Yinggeshi area. Landscape and city join in design. The whole length of the main valley will be realised as a park, which will be shared by all inhabitants, office workers and tourists of the area. The urbanization the side valley will be of country-like with small villages. 8,9 sqmi 2,0 mi 1. The mountaineous Yinggeshi area needs a landscape sensitive kind of city planning The total Yinggeshi area plan. 2. Masterplan with the central park in the main valley and small villages in the side valley. 1,0 KM

11 20 yd yd No iconic, great architectural gestures, but the feeling for the human scale is the goal for this design. With European cities as a reference, the center has high quality squares, boulevards, pedestrian zones and promenades. The main square is surrounded by a mixture of highly urban facilities: a cultural center, library, shops, cafés, restaurants and office towers. The square has a wide opening to the park. Detail map of the center. The finegrained city structure offers the human scale in public space. 4. The thoroughfare is re-designed to a boulevard, a comfortable city space. 5. Bird view of the central square, surrounded by urban densification. 11.

12 Designing for the most personal level Garden Designs Company: Gilles Grafisch Tuinontwerp Type: cooperative garden design A garden is like an outdoor living room. The challenge is to visualize personal dreams and aesthetics in feasible designs 1 yd 1a. 1 yd 1b. 1 yd 2. 1a. 2. 1b. 1a. A small garden in rectangular composition creating a robust character. 1b. Construction detail of the garden path, lounge deck and brick planter. 2. Rustique garden with an enclosed, shadowed part at the cabin and an open, sunny part in front of the house. As a freelance garden designer I cooperate with established landscapers. I contribute with my graphic skills to bring garden design to a higher level. To convince the client that the smallest garden can become a small paradise in front of the house, advanced visualization is decisive. It enables landscapers to try new design formulas without being limited to completed projects and trends as references for their design. 3D modelling gives the best impression of space and with rendering the garden comes to life. 12.
