ARCHIPRIX
WINNER STARTS OFFICE
LAST JUNE WAS ANNOUNCED THAT FORMER BOUWKUNDE STUDENT SIMONE
PIZZAGALLI WON THE INTERNATIONAL ARCHIPRIX 2011 FOR HIS GRADUATION
PROJECT 'SPACES, POETICS & VOIDS'. B NIEUWS VISITED HIM IN ROTTERDAM
WHERE HE RECENTLY STARTED HIS OWN OFFICE, CALLED MENABÓ ARCHITECTURE.
ROTTERDAM — When I entered unit 122 in an
office building in Rotterdam North, which now
houses all kind of young starting creative
companies, I immediately walked right into
two enormous models of the prizewinning
project. We sat down at the desk in Pizzagallis
office space and he told me he just came back
from his vacation to Peru, where his wife is
from. She also finished her Master in architecture in Delft and now joins Simone in the
young architectural firm. Simone Pizzagalli (28)
was born in Italy and finished his bachelor's
degree in Milan, where he met the girl that
became his wife and whom he just got his first
child with.
In the end of 2007 Pizzagalli graduated in the
Border Conditions studio of Marc Schoonderbeek, at the TU Delft faculty of
Architecture. His project was
nominated for the Dutch
Archiprix 2009, which he won.
The Border Conditions studio
seems to do well in the Archiprix competitions. Negar Sanaan Bensi, received a honourable mention for her graduation project in
Havana. As Pizzagalli had won the national
prize, his project was immediately nominated
for the international Archiprix 2011. Which he
won as well!
other prizewinning graduation projects was
the one by the Dutch Gijs Adriaansens, who
studied in Eindhoven.
“It's kind of funny, because now, four and a
half years after my graduation, I'm still giving
interviews about this project”, explains
Pizzagalli to me. Though, while telling about a
single project once and forever could get kind
of boring, he admits he is still enjoying all the
benefits that come with it. Preceding to the
award ceremony in New York, he was invited
in a workshop to think about the the future of
Manhattan, just like all of the selected
graduates for the international Archiprix were.
“That was really a great experience!”, he says
excited. Besides, he is still engaged with
themes he already started to explore in the
project, like the relation between
spoken or written language and
architectural language. His office
is even named after an Italian
literature magazine of the
sixties, called 'Il Menabò'. At this moment, he
is thinking about starting a research project
that one day maybe will to lead to an architectural theory book as well.
“I DECIDED TO
JUST DO IT”
Yung Ho Chang, the chairman of this years
jury and former Dean of the Architecture
Department of MIT, announced the winners in
a ceremony held in the Guggenheim museum,
New York. Together with 7 other prizewinners
from all over the world, his project for a prison
in London got selected out of a total of 300
projects from 70 different countries. One of the
Although it may sound like Pizzagallis carreer
is advancing smoothly he has to admit that
starting your own office in these times is not
always easy. “Well, the uncertainty about
getting assignments makes it kind of tough.
Though, somehow I decided to just do it, and
for now it is working”. With these words in
mind I left the building suddenly looking
forward to start with my own graduation
project. (FvdZ)

ENVISIONING ARCHITECTURE
ARCHITECTURAL PRESENTATIONS ARE IMPORTANT TO BOTH
STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS ALIKE. AND WHILE MOST OF US
ARE HAPPY WITH A FEW GOOD RENDERS OR A PHOTOSHOPPED
PHOTOGRAPH OF A MODEL, YOU CAN GO FURTHER...
BK CITY — Since 1993, The
European Architectural Envisioning Association (EAEA) has
been set up by a large number of
European architecture schools to
analyse the ways in which
architects present their work.
“The focus of the first EAEA
conferences lay primarily on
design simulation. Gradually, the
emphasis shifted to other
visualisation approaches, including digital modelling,” says Jack
Breen, Associate Professor and
head of Form and Modelling
studies at our faculty and one of
the organisers of the 10th EAEA
conference, which will take place
at our faculty from 14 to 16
September 2011.
The theme of the conference is
'composition, perception, repre-
sentation, education'. Breen
explains: “Themes of the 2011
meeting include the essential,
reciprocal nature of design
composition and perception,
particularly how architectural
concepts can be captured,
communicated and understood
through representation. As a
consequence, a connection is
made with the academic environment, considering the impact and
opportunities of the conceptions
and instruments of envisioning in
academia; in education as well as
in theory and research.”
And while the semester is just
starting, and many students and
staff couldn't possibly take four
full days out of their schedule,
there are still ways to attend the
conference (partially, that is). The
three keyonote speeches,
Professor Michiel Riedijk (TU
Delft), Emeritus Professor Francis
D. K. Ching (Seattle) and Professor
Ralf Weber (TU Dresden) will be
open to all students and staff free
of charge. In addition, all of the
papers and keynotes will be made
available in a publication called
‘Envisioning Architecture’ that
can be purchased at the beginning of the conference. (PS)

HYPERBODY’S NEW TOYS
AS BOUWKUNDE’S PERHAPS
MOST ADVANCED STUDIO IN
RESPECT TO FABRICATION,
HYPERBODY HAS PURCHASED
TWO INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS TO
TAKE THEIR FABRICATION
PROWESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
DELFT/ROTTERDAM — The
robots are more than just new
tools: they represent a step
further in Hyperbody’s philosophy.
“They enhance the designerproduct relationship into the
extreme,” says researcher Chris
Kievid.
PhD candidate Jelle Feringa adds:
“During education, the students
get far too little exposure to
fabrication, so in the end their
fantastic ideas remain just that:
ideas.” As the acquired robots
have the ability to produce
full-scale building products, they
should fill this gap, as well as
enable students to view the
design process in a different light.
Feringa: “The architectural model
is promoted from a representational model to a platonic original.
The relation from model to
fabrication has become absolute:
the model has lost its abstraction.” This approach goes further
than full-scale prototyping, a
common practice in architectural
design. Kievid: “These machines
can be used during the entire
design process. By using computer codes as input for the robots,
buildings and building products
can be conceived, developed and
built. All kinds of structural,
climatic and other considerations
can be taken into account, in the
very beginning of the design process, in fabrication and in use.
There is a continuous dialogue
between the designer and the
product.”
The Hyperbody group has much
in store for the two robots.
Besides from being utilized in
Hyperbody’s Master education,
the robots will fabricate the
architectural components that
make up the 150 m2 roof of the
iWeb pavilion, in front of the
former Faculty of Architecture
site. Kievid: “This roof is specifi-
WORKSHOPS
Hyperbody is organizing a number
of workshops, open to students,
that involve robotic fabrication. On
November 21st – 25th Wes McGee

Dave Pigram (supermanoeuvre.

a later date, Gregory Epps

workshop on facade design by
means of sheet metal folding.

cally designed to allow continuous
integration with all sort of
experiments related to sustainability or climate research.” Later
on, these robots will also aid in
building a 300 m2 Robotics
Architecture Lab at the Science
Centre Delft. The ambitious goal
for this building is that a collection of robots will design, fabricate
and assemble it. “Working in
tandem, the robots can make all
the building components we
need. In this way, we can take
control of every single element,
from the overall plan down to the
smallest detail,” says Kievid.
For now, the robots will be
located at the RDM Campus in
Rotterdam. Kievid: “We do find it
very particular that, after an
exhaustive research of several
options, there’s no place for them
on the TU Delft campus. But that’s
another debate.” (MS)
COLUMN
Trots in
Singapore
Vertical City Asia voerde mij
begin juli – nog voor de
vakantie - naar Singapore. Naar
de National University aldaar
(de NUS). Onze faculteit doet
mee aan een vijf jaar durende
samenwerking tussen tien
vooraanstaande ontwerpfaculteiten; vijf uit de ‘westerse
wereld’ en vijf uit de ‘oosterse
wereld’. Centraal staat de
opgave om op een locatie van 1
km2 ergens in Azië voor
100.000 mensen een plek te
ontwerpen om te leven. Dat is
een vrij heftige opgave
overigens: ongeveer drie keer
zo dicht als New York! Inventiviteit, creativiteit en precisie zijn
dus noodzakelijk. Elke faculteit
organiseert een ontwerpstudio
voor deze opgave en selecteert
daaruit twee teams die naar
Singapore worden afgevaardigd
om hun ontwerp te presenteren
aan een internationale vakjury.
Naast dat dit een fantastische
inhoudelijke opgave is, biedt
het studenten aan het eind van
hun opleiding natuurlijk een
geweldige ervaring. Heel erg
dicht bij de praktijk van
ontwerpcompetities en
daarmee een mooie oefening
voor die zelfde praktijk.
Opgenomen worden in een
boek en een reizende tentoonstelling, je meten met internationale vakgenoten, kans op een
(geld)prijs en ook nog een
bezoek aan Singapore!
Ikzelf werd vooral getriggerd
door de mogelijkheid om te
zien hoe onze studententeams
zouden presteren ten opzichte
van de teams van de andere
opleidingen; de ETH bijvoorbeeld, Berkeley, Tongji, Tokyo
en de NUS zelf. Een prachtige
peer-benchmark. En wat
doorstonden we die goed!
Beide teams hadden een goed
opgebouwde analyse, duidelijke, overtuigende ontwerpvoorstellen en een krachtige
presentatie. Veel beter dan veel
van de anderen. Geweldig om
dat te zien! Wat was ik trots! De
jury honoreerde een van onze
teams met een mooie tweede
plaats en liet – off the record –
weten ook bijzonder onder de
indruk te zijn van het werk van
het andere team. Gemeten aan
deze benchmark mogen we –
zonder zelfingenomen te
worden natuurlijk - echt trots
zijn op onze opleiding.
Maar eerlijk is eerlijk, we
werden geen eerste. Wie wel?
ETH! Overtuigend. Ook voor
mij. Dat is dus de Peer-to-beat.
Volgend jaar dan maar?

DEZE MAAND WORDT EEN UNIEKE TENTOONSTELLING GEORGANISEERD IN
DE OOSTSERRE VAN BOUWKUNDE. OP INITIATIEF VAN BK-STUDENTEN
FRANS BOCHANEN, TIMO CARDOL EN RODERICK TROMPERT WORDEN
MAQUETTES EN TEKENINGEN VAN TIEN GROTE STATIONS IN VERBOUWING
GEËXPOSEERD, ACHT UIT NEDERLAND EN TWEE UIT BELGIË.

“Eigenlijk is het gek dat er op
Bouwkunde zo weinig aandacht is
geweest voor deze projecten. Je
loopt er immers bijna dagelijks
langs en de omvang van de
projecten, zowel van de stationsgebouwen zelf als van de hele
infrastructuur eromheen, is echt
gigantisch.” Roderick Trompert
laat verschillende afbeeldingen
zien waaruit dit blijkt: op foto’s
van studiemaquettes van architectenbureau Benthem Crouwel,
renderings van de ontwerpen en
artikelen die in verschillende media
zijn verschenen, zijn mensen niet
meer dan stipjes.
De stations voor de expositie zijn
geselecteerd om hun formaat en
impact op het spoorwegennetwerk. Trompert: “Als eerste
kozen we de stations die aansluiting hebben op de Hogesnelheidslijn. Daar zijn later stations aan
toegevoegd die zich qua reizigersaantallen met de HSL-stations
kunnen meten en die momenteel
in verbouwing zijn.” Timo Cardol:
“Op de tentoonstelling willen we
niet alleen fancy renders en
gelikte presentatiemaquettes
laten zien, maar we willen ook
weergeven hoe de ontwerpen tot
stand zijn gekomen. Daarom
worden ook maquettes van
voorlopige ontwerpen tentoongesteld. Ook willen we een wand
vullen met een overzicht van
verschillende publicaties die de
afgelopen tien jaar zijn verschenen over de projecten. Deze
nadruk op het realisatieproces
moet de tentoonstelling interessanter maken voor bouwkundestudenten.”
Zo komt ook bovendrijven hoe
moeizaam en gecompliceerd het
kan zijn om projecten van deze
omvang te realiseren. “Er zijn
natuurlijk ontzettend veel partijen
betrokken, onder andere NS,

ProRail, bouwbedrijven, gemeentes en in sommige gevallen ook
de provincie en zelfs het Rijk. Dit
resulteert vaker wel dan niet in
vertragingen en moeilijkheden
rondom de financiering en
logistiek. Partijen gaan weg of
komen erbij, projecten worden
gecancelled of er is een financiële
crisis waardoor minder geld
beschikbaar is. En tijdens de hele
operatie moeten de stations
blijven functioneren,” aldus
Cardol. “We willen dus ook zeker
de maatschappelijke discussie
rondom deze projecten aanstippen. Gelukkig waren alle partijen
enthousiast om mee te werken
met onze tentoonstelling.”
Behalve de tentoonstelling organiseert het drietal ook een symposium, waar onder meer architecten Koen van Velsen en Jan
Benthem een korte lezing geven
over hun betrokkenheid bij de
projecten. Het symposium dient
als discussieplatform, waar de
verschillende partijen hun zegje
kunnen doen maar waar ook het
publiek de ruimte krijgt om
vragen te stellen en discussiepunten aan te dragen. Om dit te
bereiken komen tijdens het debat
verschillende stellingen aan bod.
“De stellingen zijn te vinden op
de website, zodat men zich goed
kan voorbereiden,” aldus Cardol.
Wat het drietal vooral wil benadrukken, is dat studenteninitiatieven nog altijd mogelijk zijn op
Bouwkunde. Trompert: “Niet
ieder symposium of tentoonstelling hoeft te worden opgezet door
een leerstoel. Wel is het door alle
reorganisaties en bezuinigingen
een stuk moeilijker geworden iets
op Bouwkunde te organiseren.
Hopelijk kunnen we met deze
tentoonstelling laten zien dat je
als student met een goed idee en
voldoende doorzettingsvermogen
nog altijd kans hebt om een
studenteninitiatief op de faculteit
te doen slagen.”

SO, YOU ARE AN
URBANIST?!
BY FLORIS VAN DER ZEE
IT HAS BEEN A WHILE, BUT THIS YEAR THE ‘URBANISM WEEK‘
WILL MAKE ITS COMEBACK AT THE FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE,
TU DELFT. AT THE END OF THIS MONTH, A FULL WEEK WILL BE
FILLED WITH INSPIRING WORKSHOPS, LECTURES AND DISCUSSIONS ON THE ACTUAL AIM OF THE DISCIPLINE AT THIS MOMENT.
NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL KEY FIGURES IN THE FIELD OF
URBANISM, ARCHITECTURE AND PHILOSOPHY, WILL VISIT THE
FACULTY 26-30 SEPTEMBER TO ATTEND.
“Professionals will share their experiences with students and students
could reflect on the current urban debate from their point of view.”
Jorick adds: “Next to lectures and workshops by designers and
planners like Alfredo Brillembourg (Urban-Think Tank) and Adriaan
Geuze (West 8), we hope and think that the lectures by amongst others
Maarten Hajer, Director ‘Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving’, and René
Boomkens, Professor social and cultural philosophy at the University of
Groningen, could provide a significant contribution to a more complete
understanding of the full spectrum that Urbanism is.”

This year’s ‘Urbanism Week’, formally known as ‘Stedenbouwweek’ is
organized by Polis|Platform for Urbanism. The study association for
Master students in Urbanism at the TU Delft, almost didn’t survive the
devastating fire at the former faculty building in 2008. Fortunately, a
new board was installed last academic year, which has been quite busy
ever since. And, with the comeback of the ‘Urbanism week’ this year
Polis is back on track again.
The last ‘Urbanism week’ already dates back to 2006, but this year’s
program will be even more extensive than it has ever been before. As a
reward of this achievement, “the coordinators of the MSc 1 Urbanism
program decided to make the full ‘Urbanism Week’ program even part of
the compulsory schedule for the students”, explains Polis’ chairman
Noor Scheltema excitally. But of course other students, as well as
professionals, are very welcome.
The somewhat provocative title for the event, ‘So, you are an Urbanist?!’, should trigger participants to question themselves what the
value and significance of urbanism is today and what it can, or maybe
should, offer. “This theme was chosen very deliberately”, states Jorick
Beijer, the program coordinator and chairman of the organising committee. “We would really like to start a discussion about the most fundamental aspects of the discipline again. This hasn’t been done for a while
and we really think this is the right moment to open up the debate
again”, Jorick emphasizes.
Municipal spatial planning and urban design departments have closed
in almost all municipalities across the Dutch country in past decades.
Only the largest cities still have such departments, but their influence
has declined last years as well. This affected not only single developments within cities, but also the development of a city as a whole, while
the Dutch planning and urban design tradition used to be world famous.
Besides, as a consequence of the economical and financial crises, urban
design offices find themselves having difficulties in getting enough
assignments, just like architectural firms. While undoubtedly, there are
still big tasks in the cities and the urban environment, both in the
Netherlands as well as elsewhere. A new approach seems to be
required and therefore the role of the urbanist needs to be (re)defined
first.
The ‘Urbanism Week’ is not meant for students only, but for professionals as well. “This could really work both ways”, says Noor.

EN/EXERGY
HOW WOULD OUR CITIES AND REGIONS LOOK LIKE IF THEY MAXIMIZED THEIR ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND
CONNECTED ENERGY STREAMS? THE DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AT TU DELFT, TOGETHER WITH
UNIVERSITIES IN GRONINGEN, WAGENINGEN, TNO (NETHERLANDS ORGANIZATION FOR APPLIED SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH)
AND HOGESCHOOL ZUYD INVESTIGATED THIS PROPOSAL DURING A FIVE-YEAR PROJECT CALLED SREX (SYNERGIE TUSSEN
REGIONALE PLANNING EN EXERGIE - SYNERGY BETWEEN REGIONAL PLANNING AND EXERGY).
PROFESSOR OF CLIMATE DESIGN AND SUSTAINABILITY AT OUR FACULTY AND COORDINATOR OF SREX, ANDY VAN DEN
DOBBELSTEEN, MAKES AN APPEALING CASE FOR MORE CONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT CITIES, WHICH, IF WE ARE
TO BELIEVE HIM, MIGHT NOT BE A FANTASTIC SPECULATION BUT A FEASIBLE WAY INTO A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE IN
THE NETHERLANDS.
BY PETER SMSIEK
The SREX initiative started five
years ago with TU Delft, the
universities of Groningen and
Wageningen, as well as other
institutions. How did it all
start?
It was initiated by all participating parties, but mainly by the
three universities, Wageningen,
Groningen and Delft.
SenterNovem [a governement
agency which stimulated research
in sustainability, energy and
climate - ed.], now called AgentschapNL, had a call for proposals
of research on energy and the
built environment. We submitted
our proposal, which connects the
exergy principle to spatial
planning, because that was still
an unsurveyed area of research.
In 2006 we were awarded the
research. Each university had one
or two PhD students that were
appointed to carry out the
research and TNO acted as an
external advisor.
Our faculty has one PhD student,
Leo Gommans, doing our portion
of the research. I am his supervisor and he is finishing his thesis
right now. He was researching
the technical aspects of the
energy systems and services.
The research from the other two
universities focused on energy
landscapes and cities as energy
system.
The whole process was initially
led by Groningen, but it switched
to us before the research was
half-way done. TU Delft was
asked to take over, and I was
appointed the coordinator.
You mentioned exergy, which is
somewhat different than
energy. You talk about this
issue quite often in your
lectures, but could you give us
a quick explanation again.
Exergy is a part of energy. Energy
is everything, and as we know
from thermodynamics, energy is
never lost. But as the Second Law
of Thermodynamics states: all
processes lead to a greater state
of entropy [disorder- ed]. This
means that something else
diminishes while entropy increases. This is exergy. Exergy is the
part of energy by means of which
you can perform work, so it’s
actually the quality part of energy,
whereas entropy is the waste.
Together they make up the total
energy. What we try to do in this
research is to translate this
principle of energy quality into a
spatial arrangement of cities and
functions within a region. If you
want to reduce the demand for
energy in a region, you also have
to think about how to lose the
smallest amount of exergy in the
system.
This means that the waste energy
of one function, for example a
power plant, could be used in an
industry that requires hot water
of a couple of hundred degrees
(steam temperatures). Consequently the waste energy from
that can be used in horticulture,
for example. And finally, the heat
we need in modern housing does
not need to exceed 25 or 30
degrees Celcius. Nowadays we
use gas temperatures of 1500
degrees to heat up our houses, so
there is an enormous unused
potential.
All of this means that you would
have to organize regions differently. Now we are used to the
CIAM logic of separating functions. This was needed in the past
because industry was polluting
and unpleasant. But nowadays
with cleaner industries and
private lives mixing with working
lives, we have to mix functions
again, which would enable us to
exchange energy between them.
If you think about a smart
combination of energy demand
and supply in a region, you would
have to organize spatial functions
differently. In some cases it would
mean that new residential areas
would have to be connected to
horticulture or industry, or the
other way around. If you have an
already existing residential area,
you could implant a function that
could provide this area with its
waste heat. The system would
become much more exergetically
efficient. We were trying to figure
out what this means to the spatial
planner, the policy makers and
the provinces.
How did the different bodies,
each working on a more
specialized area, work together
as a unit?
Naturally we had many meetings,
but the most intense way in
which we collaborated was
through case studies. We had two
case studies, one in Limburg, a
former mining region in the south
of the Netherlands, and one in
southeast Drenthe. Both are quite
specific and very different. We
developed our method during the
Limburg case study, and we
applied this method together with
scenario thinking, to the
southeast Drenthe case, to
discover the possibilities there.
Throughout these cases, the
collaboration between the PhD
candidates and the researchers
was very strong and coherent. We
also held various workshops with
stakeholders from these different
regions and the upcoming
conference is basically a presentation of the outcome of the
collaboration with involved
regions.
You mentioned that both of the
case studies were quite specific? Could you elaborate on
this? Furthermore, can the
same principles be applied
more generally to other regions?
It wouldn’t be applicable everywhere, but the Limburg case is
most interesting to other former
mining regions of Europe. The
underground there is different
from the lower parts of the
Netherlands. There are mining
corridors underneath, sometimes
hundreds of metres below the
ground, and the temperatures
there are actually higher than on
the surface. These remainders of
the mining industry could be used
for energy storage or energy
exchange. In Delft, for example,
we have better potential for heat
and cold storage in aquifers,
which is not the case in Limburg.
Another interesting feature of
Limburg is that despite being
quite densely populated, the
region has an open centre, the
Heuvelland, which has a lot of
agriculture and a potential for
biomass energy, whereas the
more urbanized edges have
different energy needs and usable
7
techniques, but a new approach
to energy streams that are already
in place but are not used effectively. It’s about being smarter with
what is there already.
Will there be any publications
coming from this congress?
The SREX work packages either
lead to a research report or a PhD
thesis. We are also working on a
book, which we will present at
the upcoming conference. The
book itself is aimed primarily at
the market: the planners and
designers, politicians, managers
and provincial officials.
Has there been already some
interest from either the governmental bodies or the market?
SREX: Energy Vision for the city of Emmen,
southeast Drenthe
waste heat from the industry in
the region.
Southeast Drenthe is a peat area
that has largely been exploited
already, but there is a lot of
potential for biomass, whereas
the large open areas lend
themselves to horticulture and
wind energy. The urbanization
is more spread-out, so it needs a
different approach than the
Limburg case.
What would also have been an
interesting case-study is the
Rotterdam metropolitan area,
which is densely populated and
heavily industrialized. But that
was too much for SREX project,
so we are doing this in different
projects now.
You mentioned that there
could be a technical solution
to maximize the energy in our
energy flows, but how would
that work in an urban
environment where the
functions change more often?
Cities change, but not within 50
years. What I see more as a
dynamic part is the fact that
buildings change, they become
renovated and refurbished and
therefore more energy efficient.
So the energy demand and the
production of waste heat
changes as you become more
efficient. The system needs to be
robust enough to work in the
current situations, but remain
flexible in the future. Therefore,
buildings should connect to heat
and cold storage, energy storage
and back-up systems. In Rotterdam, the typical back-up system
is the city-wide heat grid. The
connection to heat grid is mandatory for new buildings, but
nowadays, you can easily build
buildings that do not need the 90
degrees waste heat from the
industry and it would be much
better to use this heat in the older
parts of the city. The idea of
cascading energy also came from
the SREX project. We could
cascade energy from one neighborhood to another. It’s the same
idea as with water. You start with
high quality drinking water,
which you pollute a little bit by
showering, which you can then
use to flush the toilet. The same
applies to energy. In cities, not all
neighborhoods were constructed
in the same era; so one neighborhood has better insulated
buildings than an older one. If you
take heat of 100 degrees, you can
use this in an old neighborhood
with uninsulated buildings, then
you can take their waste heat of
70 degrees and divert it to
another neighborhood, until you
end up with rest heat of around
30 degrees which you can use in
the modern homes before you put
it back into the system. That
would be more economically
feasible.
So it is possible to connect and
integrate the exergy principle
with other sustainable approaches, such as wind power,
biomass and heat and cold
exchange?
The SREX method is not something specifically new in its steps,
but it is the combination of
various methods and approaches
that is new. When we start with a
region, we would first analyze its
energy characteristics, such as
energy supply and demand, the
naturally available energy
potential, such as sun, wind,
underground and biomass and so
on. And we would look at a
desirable future within a set of
scenarios, from a very protective
regionalism to a very capitalistdriven internationalism. All of
these could be translated into a
sustainable solution, but these
will look completely different. We
would then select the most robust
solution and try to build an
energy vision for that region,
using the different technologies
that are currently available or
under development. It’s not
necessarily introducing new
In Drenthe, the province is very
keen on promoting sustainable
development and after we did our
case study there, several municipalities approached us to help
them conduct similar studies for
them on the municipal level. An
indirect effect is that simultaneously with the SREX project, we
were working on the Energy
Potential Mapping which became
helpful to SREX and was in
demand with many municipalities
and provinces. In that respect
what came out of SREX is now applied in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Although they did not copy
the SREX method directly, the
main ideas and the line of
thinking that came out of our
research are now applied on
different scale levels, but I expect
even more interest to come after
the congress and publications.

8 PROJECT
VERTICAL CITIES
ASIA
BY BART VAN LAKWIJK, HERMAN PEL AND
JASPER NIJVELDT
THE VERTICAL CITIES ASIA COMPETITION ENCOURAGES STUDENTS FROM 10 UNIVERSITIES FROM ALL
OVER THE WORLD TO DEVELOP NEW IDEAS AND
THEORIES IN URBAN GROWTH AND ARCHITECTURAL
FORM RELATED TO DENSITY, LIVABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY SPECIFIC TO THE RAPID AND EXPONENTIAL GROWTH OF URBANISM IN ASIA. THIS YEARS'
COMPETITION DEALT WITH THE THEME OF 'FRESH
AIR' AND WAS PROJECTED ON THE CITY OF CHENGDU, CHINA. IN THIS COMPETITION, THE ENTRY OF TU
DELFT CALLED 'THE WALL", DESIGNED BY BART VAN
LAKWIJK, HERMAN PEL AND JASPER NIJVELDT
ENDED IN SECOND PLACE.
The Chinese cities grew enormously in the last decades,
spreading almost to infinity. Almost a billion people will
live in Chinese cities by 2025. If one would project the
estimated population growth in Chengdu in the same
space-consuming manner as the last decade, the urban
area would almost need to double, resulting in urban
sprawl and traffic congestion. An increase in air pollution
will be inevitable, while the air pollution in Chengdu is
already 2.5 times higher than the guidelines set up by the
World Health Organization. As a part of the competition,
The Wall offers an integral plan with a series of parallel
strategies that have the potential to tackle Chengdu’s bad
air quality.
Firstly, the new design proposes to stop the urban sprawl
by densifying the current city edge; a new urban ‘wall’
around the city. This ‘wall’ preserves the precious rural
land and makes the transition between landscape and the
city manifest, while research by McKinsey also shows that
concentrated growth increases overall productivity and
efficiency of the urban system. Big openings and vistas
make sure that the ‘wall’ feels porous and open.
The Wall does not only give opportunity to further densify
the city, but can also function as a framework for applying
new ideas to provide the city with fresh air. The main
polluters are transport and industry. They will be clustered
in an integral system of the existing transport and industry
and with the new wall, polluters can be tackled and air
quality will increase.
Connecting the existing metro-system with The Wall, while
the distances within The Wall can be covered just by
walking, the dependency on the car will be decreased and
thus the emissions caused by traffic will be decreased as
well. This new transport-system is the backbone of The
Wall and will also give room to public facilities. One dense
clustered system of industries in The Wall where sharing
energy, waste, heat, and CO2 capture is made possible,
will be the second contributor to improve air quality. In
this way, the fresh air will be provided by not just adding
technologies to buildings and transport, but mainly by the
development of a new urban model and architectural tools
while The Wall still gives room to accommodate the
projected population growth.
Finally, The Wall offers such a generic solution that its
main concept can be applied to other rapidly growing
Asian cities.

The studio was divided in
three groups, but the initial
research was centrally coordinated and, using the examples of
design books of the OMA
office, very broad and amazingly fast. External input came
from invited lecturers: staff of
TUD, practitioners and students
from other studios. All of this
was doubly needed because of
the very limited information
offered by the competition
brief. The three projects can be
characterized as a series
increasing in urbanistic content
and scale of applicability. One
shows a compact geometrical
urban project of very high
density, almost an object,
leaving as much as possible of
the site open for agricultural
use. The second creates an
all-encompassing idea of
agricultural production, partially
integrated high up in the air in
a high density urban superstructure also limiting the built-up
area as much a possible, and
tying the farmland into the
urban development by way of a
continuous ‘path’ all around the
city as an experimental zone for
new and localized ways of food
production. The third project,
‘The Wall’, that won second
prize in Singapore, creates a
new urban edge condition for
the city of Chendu, that is seen
as applicable to all major
Chinese cities. ‘The Wall’ is a
zone of 500 meters wide with
different degrees of high
densities, reacting to local
conditions of landscape and
climate. The presentation is
compact but impressively
complete and the images are
relevant and strong. It did not
stress the existing villages on
the location and probably for
this reason lost to the ETHproject that does acknowledge
and integrate those and was
rewarded first prize. Generally
speaking, the European entries
were by far the most serious in
their analysis and the winning
schemes integrated this
knowledge in their designs; the
Chinese entries were more
superficial and of the type of
mega structures on a truly
enormous and thus not very
realistic scale. The American
entries focused on imagery and
thus were not taken very
seriously either. It will be
interesting to see if this
generally felt criticism, shared
by many of the Deans and
teachers of the schools present,
will result in different approaches in the following years.

INNOVATIVE METHOD
FOR URBAN DELTA DEVELOPMENTS
BY FLORIS VAN DER ZEE
BEING ONE OF THE MOST COMPLEX REGIONS IN NORTH WEST
EUROPE, THE DUTCH DELTA REGION IS THE ARENA OF ALMOST
ALL CONTEMPORARY PLANNING ISSUES. RANGING FROM
ENVIRONMENTAL AND WATER SAFETY ISSUES TO BALANCED
ECONOMICAL DEVELOPMENT IN RELATION TO THE ECOLOGICAL QUALITIES AND, LAST BUT NOT LEAST, STILL GUARANTEEING THE INHABITANTS GOOD LIVING AND WORKING CONDITIONS. DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF STAKEHOLDERS AND DIFFERENT
PARTIES INVOLVED IN THE AREA, GOVERNANCE ISSUES FORM A
COMPLICATING FACTOR AS WELL. THIS HAS LED TO A TREMENDOUS IMPASSE TODAY IN WHICH NO-ONE REALLY KNOWS
WHAT IS BEST TO DO NOR HOW TO ACHIEVE IT. WHILE THE
AREA WAS ONCE FAMOUS FOR ITS DELTA WORKS BEING BUILT
WITH GREAT CONSENSUS AND SPIRIT.
THIS HAS RESULTED IN THE IDEA THAT ONLY A COLLABORATION
OF PARTIES IN DIFFERENT FIELDS OF INTEREST COULD PROVIDE
SATISFYING SOLUTIONS. TU DELFT, ERASMUS UNIVERSITY
ROTTERDAM AND WAGENINGEN UNIVERSITY DECIDED TO
COOPERATE IN A CONSORTIUM WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF
DUTCH COMPANIES AND RESEARCH INSTITUTES. THEY HAVE
STARTED AN EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATION IN DEVELOPING A
SUITABLE PLANNING AND DESIGN METHOD FOR THE SPATIAL
DEVELOPMENT OF THE DUTCH DELTA IN SPECIFIC AND DELTA
REGIONS IN GENERAL.
Satellite image of the Dutch
delta region.
Just recently the media provided us an insight in one of the problematic
issues in the Dutch delta region: the ongoing struggles about what to
do with the Hedwigepolder, at the Dutch-Belgium border. Parliamentary
State Secretary Bleeker announced an alternative proposal for restoration of the natural environment - instead of flooding the polder - that is
necessary due to the deepening of the Westerschelde. Newspapers
were full of articles about the Belgians being totally upset with this
idea, since this did not comply with earlier agreements.
“This shows one of the greatest difficulties in today's design and
planning environment, maybe in general, but definitely for this region”,
says TU Delft urban design professor Han Meyer, who is leading the
IPOD research project. IPOD is the Dutch abbreviation for 'Integral
Planning and Design in the Delta'. “These past years a lot of different
plans at all scales have been made, but almost none of them have been
executed. So you could say that in fact a lot of public money and energy
is being wasted by these planning activities.” In order to change this
situation, the idea behind this research project is to set up another kind
of planning process, through which a more transparent and balanced
manner of decision-making can be developed and above all, where design
and planning can play a fruitful role in the public debate and decisionmaking. All the aspects that play a role in the spatial development of
delta regions need to be carefully considered in such a planning process.
Globally, delta regions are dealing with similar circumstances, but all
under their own specific conditions. In general, deltas are the areas
with the most explosive and large-scale developments in both urbanization and industrialization, while they are increasingly vulnerable for
flooding. Furthermore these areas are the most fertile parts of land,
while at the same time, the pressure on the environment and eco-systems has been increased by flood-defence systems and processes of
urbanization and industrialization. New methods of planning and
design urgently need to be developed for such areas.

The Dutch delta
In 2008 the Dutch government launched a new program for the Dutch
delta region - considering the entire Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt delta,
between Rotterdam and Antwerp - which has to lead to some definite
decisions about the future of the region in 2014. The Delta Program is
dealing with all subjects related to the issues in the region. Although
due to the enormous complexity of the problems, there are still
difficulties within this national program. Therefore the initiative to
start up this scientific research project was a welcome gesture for the
Delta Program.
The Dutch delta has developed over centuries, especially in the last
century, into a worldwide known example for water control management. “A lot of money has been spent and revolutionary hydraulic
constructions have been realized. People from all over the world still
come to The Netherlands to visit the Delta Works. But looking back
now, concepts of safety did definitely predominate over other themes”, explains Meyer. “From there, the urbanization and industrialization processes were developed, the agriculture was being intensified and large areas of the delta were developed into recreational
areas.” On the other hand Meyer describes that these developments
also have negative consequences, for example: the damage done to
the natural environment and the loss of its ecological qualities. The
awareness of these negative effects and the notion of climate change
has recently evolved a new consciousness
in the way of thinking about developments
in this region.
research and factual knowledge. With the help of digital geo-information systems, new measurement and registration technologies are able to
precisely monitor current situations, like demographic
changes, waterlevel fluctuations and numerous other changes. Possible
consequences of future interventions can be simulated as well, while by
the use of design, new potentials and desirable scenarios can be
explored and rendered. Using design in an innovative way, through
which possibilities can be tested, has to lead to a situation in which
design can be used as a tool in decision-making processes and for
developing opinions, instead of design as a fixed result. The TU Delft
department of Urbanism is at the core of this research field. The last
group is concentrated around Erasmus University. A renewal of the
planning process also questions in which role governance related issues
can contribute to this process. At this moment two extreme views
define the scope of the current debate.The first is based on the idea that
the public authorities and particularly the national government, should
intervene as little as possible. In this case a format has to be found in
which all involved stakeholders in the plan area should be able to
participate optimaly. At the diametrical opposite the idea of the return
of a central role of the state is positioned.
These three notions regarding knowledge and research, the role of
design and governance-models, but above all the relation between
these three aspects, are at this moment still quite undeveloped. “The
essence of this research project is to develop
a planning and design method for this. We
are not going to state what should happen in
the delta, but the research will show and test
how the three aspects can become connected
and interrelated. And this is what we will
offer the Delta Program as a form of knowledge development about how to set up a
plan process in order to actually be able to
execute projects.” describes Meyer,
“THIS SHOWS ONE OF THE
GREATEST DIFFICULTIES IN
TODAY’S DESIGN AND
PLANNING ENVIRONMENT”
Next to the complex spatial, ecological and
demographic conditions in the region, the
complicated administrative circumstances
make it even worse in terms of governance
to achieve anything. The fact that two
countries, four provinces, numerous
municipalities and several Water Authorities are involved, besides all kind of associations, industries, farmers,
fishing-men etc., makes it an almost impossible assignment to find
any consensus. Still, the consortium behind the IPOD project is
convinced that in the near future alternative ways of working in these
complex circumstances are imaginable.
The IPOD project
One of the reasons there are so many problems related to understanding the complexity in delta regions, relates to processes of specialism
and sectoralisation that took place over the twentieth century.
Although this process seems to have reached its limits now. “We
believe the only way to deal with such a concurrence of complex
issues, is to look at it not as a series of autonomous problems, but as
one coherent problem field. And we are not used to that anymore. One
organization knows all about nature, another about safety and a third
about port developments. At this moment there is very little experience in and knowledge about the coherence and interrelation
between all those aspects”, emphasizes professor Meyer when he
explains why the different universities and organizations are involved
in the consortium of the research project. The recognition of the need
to work together and the willingness to do so, has led to this project.
The IPOD research project aims to develop planning and design
methods for urbanized delta regions, that can contribute to a balance
of interventions in urban, economical and ecological development,
water prevention, fresh water conservation, tourism and recreation.
The essence of the method will be achieving a new relation between
knowledge development, design research and how to create social
support, or in other words between survey, plan and governance.
Meyer likes to clarify that the members of the consortium are organized in what he calls three different 'blood groups'. Each of the involved
universities forms the center of a blood group. The first group, centred
around Wageningen university, is related to the role and content of
The whole research project consists of several parts, but two of them
are the most important. The first one is a retrospective research in the
specific characteristics of the Dutch delta and the conditions and effects
of interventions in the past. The second is an international comparative
research in order to translate the developed method for the Dutch delta
into a generic one for delta regions worldwide. Since there are already
good contacts with universities in New Orleans and in Vietnam, the
Mississippi delta and the Mekong delta, among others, will be used for
this research.
The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) has
assigned a subsidy to the research consortium. The NWO also leads the
steering committee of the research itself. Furthermore this committee
contains delegates from three out of the nine subprograms of the Delta
Program: Southwestern delta, Rijnmond-Drechtsteden and Urbanization
& Reconstruction. Remarkable is the participation of the Dutch World
Wide Fund for Nature (WNF) and the Port of Rotterdam (Havenbedrijf
Rotterdam) in the steering committee. This shows the willingness of a
large group of various organizations to collaborate in the future development of the delta. And since the research project takes place in the
scope of the national Delta Program, its results will be expected at the
end of 2013 in the form of an advice to the Delta chief commissioner in
order to make make sure the right decisions for the Dutch delta can be
made in 2014.

poster, if you like it) and we have
gained some extra pages in which
we hope to illustrate to our
readers the different types of
research that are being conducted
at the faculty, ranging form the
technical to theoretic (in this
issue, we have devoted the
research spread to Urbanism and
their research of urban delta
developments). Furthermore, we
are now able to provide more
in-depth information about
various goings on at the faculty
simply by having more space to
do so.
Still, we are determined to
provide our readers with the
opportunity to voice their
opinions (FORUM is waiting for
your contributions), provide
them with the opinions of
their fellow “bouwko's”
(Streets of BK), and
bitesized announcements (pages 2 and 3).
In addition, we will have three
(out of four!) new editors starting
from the next issue and we are
confident they will be able to
make the slighly new B Nieuws a
great success. If you have any
ideas, comments, suggestions, don't
hesitate to send us an email, or simply
drop by our office. Or become our
friend on Facebook...

Peace (?)
Are things settling down?
The housing bubble has popped
(well, almost),
the financial crisis is over,
the British riots have calmed,
Khadaffi is nearly caught,
Norway is slowly recovering
from Breivik’s disgusting acts,
no more football players
are being transferred.
Students no longer protest
and resign themselves to the
government’s measures,
even employees accept their
fate and subject themselves to
the Herijking Act,
bouwko’s start the pattern of
education, presentations, tests,
and then more of the same.
It’s almost boring.
Surely, by the time you read
this, some global catastrophy
will have occured, or at least hit
the news. But right now, there
is no big thing that keeps us all
tied to the telly and keeps our
lips flapping.
Or so it seems.
Brimming under the surface,
there is much rightful criticism
on the way things are going,
both within the faculty and
outside it. Because rather
silently, much more things are
being changed than you might
be aware of. The faculty for
instance has become much,
much more strict with accepting
enrollment in face of the ‘harde
knip‘ (requiring you to finish the
entire Bachelor before starting
a Master). This has resulted in
quite a few cases in which
students only need to pass one
exam, yet can’t continue
studying, effectively being
denied education for six
months. Moreover, student
grants for the Master from the
government are cancelled and
replaced by loans. And last but
not least, measures taken as a
consequence of the infamous
Herijking are nothing to scoff at.
The relative peace in the public
debate right now is only an
illusion. Just like a pressure
cooker, things just have got to
blow sooner or later.
Well it better, silence is not
always a virtue...

BK in the Picture!
This summer we all took notice of
the riots in the streets of London
and other major British cities.
Some were totally astonished
when confronted with the
violence on the opposite side of
the North Sea. Others probably
see in these events what they
expected to happen one day or
another. TU Delft faculty of
Architecture professor ‘Design as
Politics’ Wouter Vanstiphout
wrote an article on the occurrence
of the circumstances and what
the riots may mean for the future
of the British cities. It's definitely
an interesting article and worth
reading, so if you didn't, please do
so!
Vanstiphouts article, 'Back to
normal', was written for architectural online journal Build Design
and it was noticed by Dave Hill of
the British newspaper The
Guardian. He published parts of it
on his personal Guardian blog and
he added some comments: to put
it in a more 'British' framework, as
is stated on the wordpress page
of Design as Politics. Furthermore,
an interview with Vanstiphout by
Kieran Long appeared in Londons
Evening Standard.
It wasn't until I read the article by
Wouter Vanstiphout that I
realized, this is actually one of the
few times that the opinion of
someone related to this faculty is
ventilated at large in a public platform, in this case even an
international one. Probably one of
the last times national and
international media paid considerable attention to our faculty, was
when the former faculty building
burned down.
Of course in the architectural
world, maybe sometimes even in
the scientific world, our faculty or
some professors, research and
even student work will be
mentioned, but in the actual
public debate in the media this
faculty plays a rather marginal
role.
Maybe this isn't really a big
problem and maybe I'm a bit
exaggerating. If so, then please
tell me, but I think that if you
would like to play a relevant role
in and for society as a university,
it would be good that people
outside the specific architectural
and scientific communities know
and hear about you as well. This
doesn't have to be forced, not at
all, but a little more attention
outside the scope of the university and the architectural world
[or the worlds of real estate,
building technology or urbanism]
wouldn't be a bad thing, don't you
think? And it shouldn't be too
hard either.
In today's world, with all kinds of
new and social media, it doesn't
have to be such a problem, I
believe. And the weird thing is,
others in our fields of profession,
but outside our faculty, do know
how to gain some publicity, take
part in public debate or even try
to start new ones. Just think of
the recently published article in
the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant (20-08-'11) with West 8 front
man Adriaan Geuze. Again, he
used this opportunity for his
personal longstanding call to
warn us for the consequences of
the urbanization processes in the
Randstad that lead, according to
him, to the disappearance of his
so beloved Dutch landscapes.
This is a pressing national issue
many people in our faculty know
much about. Or another example:
the plea by OMA's Reinier de
Graaf, on the website of CNN, to
form a permanent political body
to deal with international climate
stability. He did so after AMO,
OMA's research-based think tank,
had launched their 'Energy Report'
in collaboration with the World
Wildlife Fund (WWF), explaining
how the world's energy needs
could be met without using fossil
fuels. This is a global issue the
researchers of our faculty are
interested in as well.
Social, environmental and
economical issues are in a way
always related to spatial problems. These interrelations will
get even more obvious, as well as
complex, due to the fact that more
and more people will be living in
urbanized areas. This fact,
together with the idea that
architects always behave, pretend
and believe that their profession
is very much involved in society,
should make clear that our faculty
of Architecture should make its
voice heard. At least a bit more...
And I know, 'architectural
research' is a term that is often
called into question, as was also
stated in the evaluation report on
the research being done at the
faculty over the period 2003-2009.
The research assessment committee explained: “This is partly due
to the position taken by architects
in the past, which has often been
counterproductive. It also has to
do with the lack of support from
other fields in showing that
architectural research, given
certain parameters, is a viable
and necessary form of research
worthy of national support.” But
really, the first ones who have to
show this is true, are we ourselves.
And we can! A lot of socially
relevant research and debates are
taking place here. Just take a look
at this B Nieuws. One can read
articles about the Urbanism
Week, the National Congress on
Energy and Spatial planning, and
the research program on delta
regions in collaboration with the
universities of Wageningen and
Rotterdam, but led by the
Urbanism department of this
faculty. All those things are
interesting for others too. The
only thing is, we have to make
them aware of it!
If I haven't been clear so far: I
would like to argue that, in order
to reach that desired situation, we
– all working and studying in this
building – should try to contribute
to this goal. As a first act of my
personal contribution, I would like
to take initiative in starting up a
group that, since the Architectural Annual doesn't exist anymore,
is willing to look into the possibilities of making a yearbook of all
interesting events and relevant
research at this faculty, again.
So, if you are interested in helping
me, please send an email to

STREETS OF BK CITY 15
VANAF VOLGEND JAAR BETAALT IEDERE STUDENT DIE LANGER DAN 6 JAAR
OVER ZIJN DIPLOMA DOET EEN BOETE VAN 3000 EURO. WE HEBBEN
STUDENTEN IN DE GANGEN VAN BK CITY GEVRAAGD NAAR HUN MENING
OVER DIT ONDERWERP:
HOE GA/ZOU JIJ DE LANGSTUDEERBOETE ONTLOPEN?
Bart van Lakwijk, MSc4 TALL
Ik ben nu aan het afstuderen, dus ik
hoop de boete sowieso te ontlopen. Als ik straks in januari afgestudeerd ben, heeft het me in totaal
6,5 jaar gekost. Dat is niet bepaald
op schema, maar ook niet met een
te grote uitloop. Ik heb deeltijd
bestuur gedaan, een commissie bij
Stylos en ik zat een half jaar in het
buitenland. In principe dingen die
uitloop kunnen veroorzaken. Je
moet gewoon af en toe pieken en
hard doorwerken.
Steffan Karger, EWI, MSc3
Ik heb lang over mijn bachelor
gedaan, maar sinds ik met mijn
master ben begonnen loopt alles
op rolletjes. Ik ga nu afstuderen,
dus dat is binnen de tijd. Ik ben
ook actief bij een studentenvereninging, een studievereninging
en een sportvereininging, dus ik
heb absoluut genoten van mijn
studietijd. Als is straks afgestudeerd ben, dan heb ik er bijna
acht jaar over gedaan, inclusief
bestuursjaar bij een vereniging.

Julie Wolsak, MSc4 Design as

Al is de boete niet van toepassing op mij, ik vind zo'n boete
niet dramatisch. Je hebt
redelijk de tijd om je studie af
te maken, en in veel andere
landen moet je sowieso 3000 a
4000 euro per jaar betalen om
te studeren. Dus we hebben al
geluk hier.
Karst Kortekaas, MSc2 Solar
Decathlon (Architectuur)
Normaal gesproken zou ik
externe activiteiten zoals een
stage tijdens mijn studie doen,
maar nu zou ik dat na mijn studie
doen, zodat ik de eis zou halen.
Maar ik denk dat als je deze
dingen juist tegelijk doet, je een
betere koppeling maakt tussen
praktijk en studie. Het is minder
goed voor de persoonlijke
ontwikkeling als die twee
gescheiden zijn.

Nu denk ik er nog niet over na,
omdat ik bijna nominaal loop.
Dus ik hoef me nog geen
zorgen te maken over de
langstudeerboete. Ik heb een
vrij normaal studentenleven,
met vereinigingen en dergelijke. Ik heb wel al mijn
projecten in een keer gehaald,
dat is dan een voorldeel. Ik
denk dat de meeste studenten
daarom vertraaging oplopen.
Herman Wolthoff, BSc6
Ik ga mijn vijfde jaar in, dus ik moet
mijn bachelor gewoon halen in juli.
Met het extra jaartje dat we hebben
gekregen moet het wel lukken. Ik had
wat opstartproblemen met huisvesting in Delft en nu ben ik er gewoon
ingegroeid, dus de master binnen de
tijd halen moet wel lukken. Ik heb er
wel dingen naast gedaan, maar ik
denk niet dat dat op mijn studie
effect heeft gehad; het is eerder
aanpassen aan Bouwkunde en Delft
dat tijd kost.
Miriam Thijs, afgestudeerd
Ik heb er geen last van, maar
als ik er last van zou krijgen,
zou ik er voor zorgen dat ik
alternatieven had. Bijvoorbeeld
afstuderen in het buitenland
kan soms goedkoper zijn. In
Vlaanderen bijvoorbeeld, en
Duitsland kan ook. Maar ik zou
me ook meer houden aan
bepaalde studiepatronen.

Ik doe er negen jaar over en ik ga
straks afstuderen, dus ik ontloop de
boete. Ik loop deels achter door
allerlei extracurriculaire activiteiten,
maar deels ook door luiheid of
weining motivatie. De boete is een
negatieve prikkel, maar ik heb in
mijn negen jaar heel veel dingen
gedaan. Ik heb wel degelijk iets aan
mijn extra tijd gehad en ik vraag
me af of mensen die binnen vijf jaar
afstuderen iets anders dan de
studie kennen.
