The new Hoogwaterbeschermingsprogramma (HWBP) project book was presented at the National Delta Congress under the name: 'Verbindende Lijnen'. The book, made by Flux landscape architecture i.c.w. Koehorst in 't Veld, includes an overview of all the dike reinforcement projects of the HWBP and an extensive reflection by Flux on the strong relationship between the dikes and mobility.
Commissioned by AM, Dura Vermeer, Synchroon, and VolkerWessels Vastgoed, Flux Landscape Architecture worked on an exploration for a landscape vision for Pasgeld, an area between Rijswijk and Delft. This has resulted in a proposal for a robust framework of landscape lines. The landscape structures are based upon the existing landscape, existing water structures and existing trees, and offer a counterweight to the future building assignment in this area. The framework stores and filters rainwater, makes new ecological connections and contains recreational routes that connect different places in the area.
Flux went on an excursion to the Netherlands. The team has looked at several projects in Amersfoort, Almere, Amsterdam, Dordrecht and Leiden. Lots of design inspiration for new projects!
Flux landscape architecture has been selected by the College van Rijksadviseurs (CRA) for a design research into landscape-inclusive agriculture. The question is what the transition in agriculture will look like, which business models are possible and which benefits can be achieved for biodiversity, climate and recreation. Within the research, three different locations are being looked at, Flux will conduct specific research into the Marne area in Groningen. The other locations are the Krimpenerwaard and Salland. The three locations follow from the Panorama Nederland vision that the CRA published earlier this year. During the project there will be a collaboration with the College van Rijksadviseurs, the Louis Bolk Instituut, Kenniscentrum Landschap (RUG) and a broad group of stakeholders from the region.
Together with graphic designers Koehorst in 't Veld, Flux landscape architecture has been selected to make the annual project book of the Hoogwaterbeschermingsprogramma (HWBP). Besides an overview of all the projects for that year, the book contains a substantive reflection on the water safety task in the Netherlands. The last 3 years Lola landscape architects was responsible for the content and appearance of the books.
Team BAM with Zecc architects, BureauVanEig, Nieman and Flux landscape architecture have won the tender for the G8 plot in Leidsche Rijn center. The block is organized around a communal inner-garden. The inner-garden is an extension of the public space and has a collective character. The inner-garden offers access to the building, parking garage and bicycle parking.
Three alternatives were presented in the Grebbedijk project. Elements from these alternatives will included in the preferred alternative. Flux is responsible for the spatial design commissioned by the Waterschap Vallei en Veluwe and works together with Lievense and Fugro. Supervision Eric Luiten. In addition to the design of the three alternatives, Flux has developed a spatial quality framework for the dike, which serves as a starting point for the planning.
The team of Flux landscape architecture/PosadMaxwan, together with 3 other teams, is selected for the Zwijndrecht Binnenplein assignment. The assignment is part of Vlaams Bouwmeester. For more information: Vlaams Bouwmeester
In collaboration with Ruimtevolk, Flux landscape architecture is going to work on the development of an area agenda for the Lopikerwaard. Flux and Ruimtevolk investigate how changes in the soil and water system can form the basis for future spatial challenges such as energy transition, climate adaptation and improved accessibility. Five municipalities are working towards a joint area agenda. Commissioned by region Lopikerwaard (Municipalities of Lopik, Montfoort, Oudewater, IJsselstein, Woerden), Province of Utrecht and De Stichtse Rijnlanden Water Board.
Regio Lopikerwaard (Gemeente Lopik, Gemeente Montfoort, Gemeente Oudewater, Gemeente IJsselstein, Gemeente Woerden)
Flux and Faro have won the tender for a new sustainable residential area in Hillegom. The existing canal structure is expanded and connects the neighborhood in a natural way with the landscape and the existing urban fabric. Commissioned by Timpaan.
