At Urban Think Tank, I worked on the design team for the main exhibition in the Utrecht Biennale for Art + Architecture 2009. The proposal was an urban design for the neighborhood of Hoograven, specifying catalytic “hot spots” of housing, market, park, and sport facilities. Below are my main contributions.

Hot Spot 1: Art + Design School
Design School + Student Housing
Hot Spot 2: Housing Additions + Souk Market
Housing Additions
Souk adjacent to Mosque
Hot Spot 3: Vertical Gym Addition

Specific studies focused on programmatic integration, organizational methods, and structural optimization. Code was developed and models were integrated into programs for structural analysis. The images below were exhibited in Eindhoven, NL for Eindhoven University’s Tectonics 2007.
