Water, food, space, biodiversity are at least
as important > “ Preventing entropy”.

edge of an fertile area to a metropolitain city attempting more and more an
agraricultural and ecological important landscape.

qualities results in space in the form of chances.

53. The urgency of an enduringing attractive city to make people
become happier sand to gain a public landscape is evident.
economic, social and cultural changes that have the city as an engine of these
changes, Increasingly drive cities an attractive and sustainable alternative to the
massively overgrown suburban 'landscape'
Because of earth, prosperity, welfare and environmental wealth intensifying the
quality of our cities is desirable.

on economiy and efficiency?

interaction between different identities and possibilities to
reflect oneself give to others and their choices.

willing to spend a lot to reach that. Up to the moment that
we dont offer them much!

59. The city is an eminent cultural product, an accumulation of
human capital and energy, in euros but mainly in experiences,
stories, ideas, relationships, services and goods, memories and
aspirations: past and future

60. 1-Sustainability : quality of life
As an architect, I am interested in quality of life by quality of space
As a civilian or urban nomad
I wish cities to be healthy places with a wealth of food and knowledge (without corruption) so chances to devellop yourself as a
fellowcivillian in coexperience with other people
Collective freedom, integrity and equality
That’s why I, as an architect, hope to contribute to cities full of space
That’s why I believe in sustainability
That’s why I think that food, and doesnt that mean water, éducation and work is perhaps even more important then our aim for renewable
energy. Blue gold more important then black gold. Up to now water delivered diversity of life (soil/fertile ground) and oil to much
inequality (polluted air)
In order to get wealthier cities in a healthy world we have to
reduce fossil consumption, reduce transport and reduce corruption/speculation (ground)
Improve work and living by better- food- communication-culture and intelligence/knowledge
2-urgency to analise, monitor and control urban sprawl > distribution of agri/city-culture
As more people move to cities and steadily live in larger spaces, cities are expanding. Most of time they extend occupying fertile land
which originally formed their original basis.
Thats why we should invest in cities full of space, thats to say densely used land, providing people acces and proximity to chances, while
maximising the ecosphere.
3-Distribution of mass/capacity + void/space on different levels
I would advocate here a mix of sky and groundscrapers
Groundscrapers like corals and vertical farming.
‘Cities full of space’ that enhance and emphasize :
Water, parks and vertical farming together with a rich and great capacity to house people and their activities + institutions in à way that
they are closely related to each other without feeling stressed or compressed.
4-laws of density: the dynamics of footprintmanagement and stacking
5- Low rise high density: a promising option for cities
6 atractive cities: distribution and proximity of qualities
At the TUD we studied intensity in capacity and quality >
1. as urban plans easily lose much of their density if you zoom out, the issue of areal density and scale of the area is crucial
defragmentation of footprint
1.we develloped laws of density fundamental - Urban fabrics and light- scale and - excersizing lowrisehighdensity - quality=diversity.
