Flux guides design studio at HKU
Mayke Baltussen and Gerwin de vries guided a design studio for 2nd year students of the HKU Urban Design. The course examined a study of a new design for the public space of Rotsoord in Utrecht.
Flux works at home
As of March 16, a large part of the Flux team will be working from home because of the Corona virus. A small part of the team lives close to Flux and will probably be in the office. Flux remains available by phone on 030 3031094. We continue to work on all projects and also strive to ensure that Flux projects continue as much as possible. A digital communication system is set up on the basis of video conference. In the current projects we will solve communication with partners and clients digitally by e-mail, telephone or video conference. We hope that this will help prevent the spread of the virus and improve the situation.
Preferred alternative Grebbedijk Wageningen presented
The preferred alternative for the Grebbedijk in Wageningen has been presented. An important characteristic is the creation of a stepped dike profile for the Grebbedijk. The stepped dike profile will provide more space for pedestrians on the dike and to enable a walk from the Grebbedijk to Wageningen. For more information: website Grebbedijk
Research Energy Landscapes Rijkswaterstaat
For this assignment of Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) Flux has been doing research on energy landscapes of the future, related to what opportunities these landscapes provide for RWS. Flux researched highways, the sea, the delta and the rivers.
Flux working on village edges Woudenberg
Flux landscape architecture has been selected to develop a vision on the village edges of Woudenberg. From the landscape characteristics a spatial vision on the village, the edges of the village and the adjacent landscape will be developed, with several programs in it.
Commissioned by the Municipality of Woudenberg.
Flux does research on dikes and mobility for HWBP
Flux has been doing a design research on dikes and mobility. The changes in mobility in The Netherlands have consequences for the design of the dikes and its reinforcement assignment. Flux has been researching the relationship between mobility and the history of dikes and has come up with possible solutions for future dikes. The research was done as part of the annual project book of the HWBP. In collaboration with Koehorst in’t Veld and Sofia Opfer.
Flux makes scale models for the Zaanse scheg and the Waterland scheg
For the design research of the Amsterdamse Scheggen, Flux has made 2 scale models. The exhibition in Arcam is opend untill the 10th of may. Look for photo’s here:
Team Flux and Zecc selected for Dijkzone kavel 1 Nijmegen
The team of Zecc architects and Flux landscape architecture have been selected to make a design for ‘kavel 1’ in the dikezone along the river ‘Waal’ in Nijmegen. In this widespread floodplain landscape an urban, architectural and landscape design will be made for a new housing block with references to a typical characteristic: the ‘terp’.
Flux has worked on this area before, making a spatial vision for the Waaldijk reinforcement in relation to housing development. Kavel 1 is commissioned by BPD and VanWonen.
FLUX selected to design Westwijk, Vlaardingen
Flux landscape architecture has been selected in association with Shift architecture and urbanism, Bureau Stadsnatuur, Tom Bosschaer and Acacia Water for the tender Panorama Lokaal.
Divided over 7 municipalities 21 teams will study the neighborhoods of the 1960’s to the 80’s of the last century. These neighborhoods need a substantial refurbishment and need to become climate-proof. In the upcoming months Flux and Shift will be working on the neighborhood Westwijk in Vlaardingen, NL.
