Graduation Project: Research


Just like any other architecture / spatial design student, the fourth study year will be enclosed with a  graduation project consisting of a short thesis and a spatial design.

My fascination at the moment is the Japanese traditional architecture space called Engawa, which lies inbetween the outside garden and the inner rooms of a building. With the Engawa as a base, the theme for the research will be the  relationship between inside and outside. 

Engawa in a small house (minka) at Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum, Japan, July 2014.

From Oct - Dec 2014, research will be conducted about Engawa and Japanese traditional architecture. Information and pictures about contemporary architecture will serve as an inspiration. 
From Jan - May 2014, a design will be created in response to the research, which is planned to be  presented in June.

The research will be started with a questionnaire in which the goal is to compare Japanese (traditional) houses with dutch (western) houses. The subjects are people who have lived in both types of houses so they can explain their experiences. The questionnaire is divided in 4 parts which can be found here:
