When I started my study a couple of years back whit “bouwkunde” at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam, I started to whit the intension to do something whit construction. Later on this changed and I started to do building technology. But still, construction is a very interesting topic for me.
This is why whit this elective I wanted to do something whit a construction in a different way. Over the last decades, people have tried to change things in the construction in the façade, but not really whit flooring. Flooring always is a plain surface, sometimes whit different heights, but still plain. By changing something or taking a way something from what people expect, it will be more interesting for them.
The idea I had was to do something whit the floor, by using the forces working in and on the floor, changing the floor and landscaping it. In this way a different typology in flooring would be created.
