Together with Ilse and Bas of Studio Ilse van Klei (SIVK), I worked on the design of a tender submission for Provast. Four architecture firms developed the building design: MVSA Architects, LOER Architecten, ZUS and HWKN Architects. Our role was to bring all of their input together into one clear, coherent publication. The submission won the tender, so the building will be realised.

The contents of the publication are confidential. The image below is Provast’s render of the future building.

For the Ministry of Climate and Green Growth, I worked on visualisations for the Programma Energiehoofdstructuur 2 – Startnotitie. This document sets out how the Netherlands might plan the space and infrastructure for its future energy system. The plans behind it are large-scale and abstract, so they needed images to make them tangible for a broad audience.

I worked closely with Michiel den Haan of POWOR, who was responsible for the content, and Eva Oosterlaken, who set the design direction. As graphic support, I helped develop the final visuals that show possible scenarios for the Dutch energy transition.

How can we promote transformative change in a world where the future is met with little expectation and the necessary shifts seem undesirable? My graduation project explores this question in three research booklets and an introduction video. It starts from the scale of today’s challenges, with climate change at its core, and looks at how apathy and paralysis shape our response. From there it turns to play and imagination as ways to break that cycle. It ends in Rotterdam, a city where climate adaptation and civic participation can strengthen each other.
