This projects tries to meaningfully explore the nature of optimization taking cues from the concept of growth. The assignment was calling for the development of the Almere Pampus, an area north-east of Amsterdam, an completely blank plot of land which would serve in reaching the goals of doubling up the population of Almere.

![Ornamatics [1/2]: W*Tile](http://improved.ro/wp/wp-content/uploads/improved//2011/05/wtile0-150x150.jpg)
Course tutors: Jack Breen, Martijn Stellingwerff, Robert Nottrot Project focused on the formal exploration of ornament and tiling, mainly based on the formal language derived from the wetgrid experiments. The projects explores the possibility of creating a structurally sound three dimensional lattice which can present multiple stacking and tiling possibilities. This results in several possible variations which [...]
The following article was written for arhiforum.ro in response to the CLJ02: Parametric Design Workshop. Click here for an unsanctioned translation in Romanian. A few weeks ago CLJ02, the second workshop centered around parametric design, happened in Cluj. Setting it alongside previous similar events in Bucharest and Iasi, we can clearly see an increasing attention being [...]
Project Team: Patrick Bedarf, Dimitrie Stefanescu C:Strip is best described by an attempt to translate the environmental qualities of the proposed site into a meaningful architectural geometry that can accomodate and maximize the performance of an adaptive and fluctuating programme which focuses on producing and distributing information through the use of informal societal behaviour.
