the most complicated to step overs in order to come there because I was a

order to come there because I was a

order to come there because I was a student and not so much money but when I

student and not so much money but when I

student and not so much money but when I was there I was blown away by this

was there I was blown away by this

was there I was blown away by this Bellus because I had a friend who

Bellus because I had a friend who

Bellus because I had a friend who explained me so many beautiful things

explained me so many beautiful things

explained me so many beautiful things about it it is the beauty of its

about it it is the beauty of its

calmness of the place were by nature

calmness of the place were by nature architecture the quality of the maybe

architecture the quality of the maybe

architecture the quality of the maybe the rituals who were there you felt in a

the rituals who were there you felt in a

the rituals who were there you felt in a place so unbelievable uplifting but then

place so unbelievable uplifting but then

place so unbelievable uplifting but then 11 years later when I own that spot when

11 years later when I own that spot when

11 years later when I own that spot when I was in in the cups who I decided then

I was in in the cups who I decided then

I was in in the cups who I decided then to become an architect

to become an architect

to become an architect then I became this architect and I

then I became this architect and I

then I became this architect and I designed this bridge we all know here in

designed this bridge we all know here in

designed this bridge we all know here in the city of Rotterdam but but the client

the city of Rotterdam but but the client

the city of Rotterdam but but the client here wanted to design me an iconographic

here wanted to design me an iconographic

here wanted to design me an iconographic project and highly intensive new image

project and highly intensive new image

project and highly intensive new image for this city but it was quite difficult

for this city but it was quite difficult

for this city but it was quite difficult for me to do because I I was working on

for me to do because I I was working on

for me to do because I I was working on so many aspects of the history of

so many aspects of the history of

so many aspects of the history of Rotterdam the robustness of the harbor

Rotterdam the robustness of the harbor

Rotterdam the robustness of the harbor all the qualities of what north to the

all the qualities of what north to the

all the qualities of what north to the south of the city of Rotterdam could

south of the city of Rotterdam could

south of the city of Rotterdam could bring together all in this bridge but I

bring together all in this bridge but I

bring together all in this bridge but I discovered that it was not the image or

discovered that it was not the image or

discovered that it was not the image or the iconographic quality I could give to

the iconographic quality I could give to

the iconographic quality I could give to this bridge but that it was the people

this bridge but that it was the people

this bridge but that it was the people who took over the public quality of this

who took over the public quality of this

who took over the public quality of this bridge after so many years

bridge after so many years

bridge after so many years so what I discovered that it was the

so what I discovered that it was the

so what I discovered that it was the human aspect of architecture what was so

human aspect of architecture what was so

human aspect of architecture what was so important what changed the quality of

important what changed the quality of

important what changed the quality of this bridge and this may be the best

this bridge and this may be the best

this bridge and this may be the best example of a sailor who told me the

example of a sailor who told me the

example of a sailor who told me the story that when he over the years passed

story that when he over the years passed

story that when he over the years passed by this bridge he felt that he came home

by this bridge he felt that he came home

by this bridge he felt that he came home and and that the bridge was a part of

and and that the bridge was a part of

and and that the bridge was a part of his life almost every day when he was

his life almost every day when he was

his life almost every day when he was passing this bridge so that’s why he

passing this bridge so that’s why he

passing this bridge so that’s why he tattooed this

tattooed this

tattooed this quite unusual image of the bridge on his

quite unusual image of the bridge on his

quite unusual image of the bridge on his body but that brings me to the subject

body but that brings me to the subject

body but that brings me to the subject of where I’d like to talk about today

of where I’d like to talk about today

of where I’d like to talk about today like I explained architecture is having

like I explained architecture is having

like I explained architecture is having an enormous effect on people and it’s so

an enormous effect on people and it’s so

an enormous effect on people and it’s so that maybe that if I talk about health

that maybe that if I talk about health

that maybe that if I talk about health that I’m not then interested in the body

that I’m not then interested in the body

that I’m not then interested in the body of health or the image of health like I

of health or the image of health like I

of health or the image of health like I talked about the image also for

talked about the image also for

talked about the image also for architecture what is not so important

architecture what is not so important

architecture what is not so important but that that images grow over time or

but that that images grow over time or

but that that images grow over time or icons grow I’m interested like this man

icons grow I’m interested like this man

icons grow I’m interested like this man standing in this place and it an in its

standing in this place and it an in its

standing in this place and it an in its space it’s in environment so how can we

space it’s in environment so how can we

space it’s in environment so how can we deal with this environment and maybe the

deal with this environment and maybe the

deal with this environment and maybe the square where it stands in is maybe the

square where it stands in is maybe the

square where it stands in is maybe the indoor environment and the circle is the

indoor environment and the circle is the

indoor environment and the circle is the world where we deal with where of course

world where we deal with where of course

world where we deal with where of course we have to so sustainable about but it

we have to so sustainable about but it

we have to so sustainable about but it is not this aspect of sustainability and

is not this aspect of sustainability and

is not this aspect of sustainability and health we’re interested in because

health we’re interested in because

health we’re interested in because sustainability and architecture there’s

sustainability and architecture there’s

sustainability and architecture there’s more discussion in my field but it’s all

more discussion in my field but it’s all

more discussion in my field but it’s all about taking the boxes lately and

about taking the boxes lately and

about taking the boxes lately and suggesting that if you have a green roof

suggesting that if you have a green roof

suggesting that if you have a green roof then then you have green architecture

then then you have green architecture

then then you have green architecture but that’s not the case I’m on totally

but that’s not the case I’m on totally

but that’s not the case I’m on totally interested in the full essence of how

interested in the full essence of how

interested in the full essence of how sustainability started with with

sustainability started with with

sustainability started with with particularly human health so how can we

particularly human health so how can we

particularly human health so how can we then through architecture benefit or

then through architecture benefit or

then through architecture benefit or health on multiple levels how can we

health on multiple levels how can we

health on multiple levels how can we improve that and I will explain it in in

improve that and I will explain it in in

improve that and I will explain it in in his talk on three levels the the

his talk on three levels the the

his talk on three levels the the physical health on the level of the

physical health on the level of the

physical health on the level of the physical health social health and the

physical health social health and the

physical health social health and the psychological health so but let me start

psychological health so but let me start

psychological health so but let me start with in a project we did hornier

with in a project we did hornier

with in a project we did hornier it’s a project we did for an government

it’s a project we did for an government

it’s a project we did for an government client you see here section of an of the

client you see here section of an of the

client you see here section of an of the floors but also you see the the

floors but also you see the the

floors but also you see the the installation techniques and and what we

installation techniques and and what we

installation techniques and and what we did here was to change the aircon

did here was to change the aircon

did here was to change the aircon in the system of the way how that was

in the system of the way how that was

in the system of the way how that was introduced in this building because I

introduced in this building because I

introduced in this building because I was having such a bad experience by the

was having such a bad experience by the

was having such a bad experience by the way how air conditions were used in or

way how air conditions were used in or

way how air conditions were used in or indoor spaces and maybe we all agree

indoor spaces and maybe we all agree

indoor spaces and maybe we all agree here how bad or indoor spaces are when

here how bad or indoor spaces are when

here how bad or indoor spaces are when we talk about or environment for eighty

we talk about or environment for eighty

we talk about or environment for eighty percent we are indoors and we forget how

percent we are indoors and we forget how

percent we are indoors and we forget how bad or air is indoors and often bacteria

bad or air is indoors and often bacteria

bad or air is indoors and often bacteria move from one person to the other

move from one person to the other

move from one person to the other because we circulate this air in a

because we circulate this air in a

because we circulate this air in a totally wrong way in in these buildings

totally wrong way in in these buildings

totally wrong way in in these buildings so here we introduced in technique what

so here we introduced in technique what

so here we introduced in technique what is coming out of the hospital technique

is coming out of the hospital technique

is coming out of the hospital technique whereby air just simply moves out of the

whereby air just simply moves out of the

whereby air just simply moves out of the floor and goes vertically out in in the

floor and goes vertically out in in the

floor and goes vertically out in in the ceiling it’s a system but is simply used

ceiling it’s a system but is simply used

ceiling it’s a system but is simply used in operation rooms by of course bacteria

in operation rooms by of course bacteria

in operation rooms by of course bacteria cannot move from one person to the other

cannot move from one person to the other

cannot move from one person to the other so so this technique gave the

so so this technique gave the

so so this technique gave the opportunity for this client in this

opportunity for this client in this

opportunity for this client in this building to reduce close to 20% of the

building to reduce close to 20% of the

building to reduce close to 20% of the building leaf or this sorry the the

building leaf or this sorry the the

building leaf or this sorry the the sickness leaf of this of this project so

sickness leaf of this of this project so

sickness leaf of this of this project so the sickness leave was enormous Lee

the sickness leave was enormous Lee

the sickness leave was enormous Lee reduced but of course but that design

reduced but of course but that design

reduced but of course but that design comes in you have to find a way to bring

comes in you have to find a way to bring

comes in you have to find a way to bring in this wind and this fresh air and we

in this wind and this fresh air and we

in this wind and this fresh air and we did that in the middle of the building

did that in the middle of the building

did that in the middle of the building where we introduced these vertical fins

where we introduced these vertical fins

where we introduced these vertical fins whereby the wind can in an intellect

whereby the wind can in an intellect

whereby the wind can in an intellect elegent way by the movement of these

elegent way by the movement of these

elegent way by the movement of these fins come into this building and not

fins come into this building and not

fins come into this building and not only the wind was used for the clean and

only the wind was used for the clean and

only the wind was used for the clean and clear air but also for producing energy

clear air but also for producing energy

clear air but also for producing energy in this project but in a similar way I

in this project but in a similar way I

in this project but in a similar way I believe that it is so important to think

believe that it is so important to think

believe that it is so important to think about the way how we can activate the

about the way how we can activate the

about the way how we can activate the body in our buildings and more than

body in our buildings and more than

body in our buildings and more than eight years ago I started with this

eight years ago I started with this

eight years ago I started with this project it’s in a Research Institute in

project it’s in a Research Institute in

project it’s in a Research Institute in Germany it’s called the thorn of

Germany it’s called the thorn of

Germany it’s called the thorn of Institute we introduced here many

Institute we introduced here many

Institute we introduced here many staircases in the center of the the the

staircases in the center of the the the

staircases in the center of the the the project we hided the elevator so you

project we hided the elevator so you

project we hided the elevator so you could not find any elevator

could not find any elevator

could not find any elevator in the building and people would just

in the building and people would just

in the building and people would just use the stairs constantly to meet each

use the stairs constantly to meet each

use the stairs constantly to meet each other and to integrate a social

other and to integrate a social

other and to integrate a social innovative way of working whereby people

innovative way of working whereby people

innovative way of working whereby people would yeah change more ideas and with

would yeah change more ideas and with

would yeah change more ideas and with this stimulation of ideas was far more

this stimulation of ideas was far more

this stimulation of ideas was far more stimulated than than before but of

stimulated than than before but of

stimulated than than before but of course then you have to make an

course then you have to make an

course then you have to make an attractive atrium and you have to play

attractive atrium and you have to play

attractive atrium and you have to play with daylight and we use this colors on

with daylight and we use this colors on

with daylight and we use this colors on the staircase in order to indicate where

the staircase in order to indicate where

the staircase in order to indicate where you are in the building and we

you are in the building and we

you are in the building and we introduced also here the social meeting

introduced also here the social meeting

introduced also here the social meeting places and we know now also that if we

places and we know now also that if we

places and we know now also that if we talk about social meeting places in your

talk about social meeting places in your

talk about social meeting places in your working environment that that boosts

working environment that that boosts

working environment that that boosts enormous Lior health if you’re just

enormous Lior health if you’re just

enormous Lior health if you’re just behind you computed all day and you’re

behind you computed all day and you’re

behind you computed all day and you’re not socialized I mean it’s actually

not socialized I mean it’s actually

not socialized I mean it’s actually really not good for you and and maybe we

really not good for you and and maybe we

really not good for you and and maybe we also know that today standing in the

also know that today standing in the

also know that today standing in the work environment is also good so all

work environment is also good so all

work environment is also good so all these things need to be of course

these things need to be of course

these things need to be of course supported by architecture so this is the

supported by architecture so this is the

supported by architecture so this is the aspect of social health where I believe

aspect of social health where I believe

aspect of social health where I believe we can so much do within our profession

we can so much do within our profession

we can so much do within our profession like in this university campus we went

like in this university campus we went

like in this university campus we went against the traditional means of

against the traditional means of

against the traditional means of compartmentalizing buildings with the

all on one floor

all on one floor so professors visitors the tutors

so professors visitors the tutors

so professors visitors the tutors students they would all constantly meet

students they would all constantly meet

students they would all constantly meet on this one floor and have the

on this one floor and have the

on this one floor and have the opportunity to socialise with each other

opportunity to socialise with each other

opportunity to socialise with each other and then give the opportunity through a

fire compartmentalization like in this

fire compartmentalization like in this building it’s an car Museum in Stuttgart

building it’s an car Museum in Stuttgart

building it’s an car Museum in Stuttgart also we didn’t want that we didn’t want

also we didn’t want that we didn’t want

also we didn’t want that we didn’t want that the public would move from one

that the public would move from one

that the public would move from one compartment to the next and that you

compartment to the next and that you

compartment to the next and that you would have many dead ends in the

would have many dead ends in the

would have many dead ends in the building we introduced the smoke

building we introduced the smoke

building we introduced the smoke detectors system so when there is a fire

detectors system so when there is a fire

detectors system so when there is a fire that but in five minutes

that but in five minutes

that but in five minutes the smoke would be sucked out of this

the smoke would be sucked out of this

the smoke would be sucked out of this building in a tornado through the whole

building in a tornado through the whole

building in a tornado through the whole building and by this we could make an

building and by this we could make an

building and by this we could make an open highly transparent and very safe

open highly transparent and very safe

open highly transparent and very safe environment for the public walking

environment for the public walking

environment for the public walking around in this building so and we know

around in this building so and we know

around in this building so and we know that safety is the highest stress level

that safety is the highest stress level

that safety is the highest stress level for many people in buildings

for many people in buildings

for many people in buildings and by this people know where the

and by this people know where the

and by this people know where the staircases are when there is a fire they

staircases are when there is a fire they

staircases are when there is a fire they can see each other they know how to move

can see each other they know how to move

can see each other they know how to move around the building and it created this

around the building and it created this

around the building and it created this in this transparency an enormous amount

in this transparency an enormous amount

in this transparency an enormous amount of communication but they could

of communication but they could

of communication but they could introduce in this museum so here the

introduce in this museum so here the

introduce in this museum so here the elevators start three you can see them

elevators start three you can see them

elevators start three you can see them there are more but I’m not going to tell

there are more but I’m not going to tell

there are more but I’m not going to tell you where are but but when you go up and

you where are but but when you go up and

you where are but but when you go up and take this one way elevator so it is only

take this one way elevator so it is only

take this one way elevator so it is only a one way elevator up then you have to

a one way elevator up then you have to

a one way elevator up then you have to do the job yourself you have to walk

do the job yourself you have to walk

do the job yourself you have to walk down and are two pathways so it’s almost

down and are two pathways so it’s almost

down and are two pathways so it’s almost like if you walk in a time machine or in

like if you walk in a time machine or in

like if you walk in a time machine or in a landscape whereby the outside and

a landscape whereby the outside and

a landscape whereby the outside and inside are intertwined in the way how

inside are intertwined in the way how

inside are intertwined in the way how you move through this building and the

you move through this building and the

you move through this building and the most important here is again this

most important here is again this

most important here is again this transparency in the way how light and

transparency in the way how light and

transparency in the way how light and landscape of the architecture come all

landscape of the architecture come all

landscape of the architecture come all together

and in another example in recent project

and in another example in recent project we just finished in item is a train

we just finished in item is a train

we just finished in item is a train station or it’s called the transfer hub

station or it’s called the transfer hub

station or it’s called the transfer hub we similarly use this idea of

we similarly use this idea of

we similarly use this idea of transparency instead of eight columns or

transparency instead of eight columns or

transparency instead of eight columns or even more maybe altogether we needed 15

even more maybe altogether we needed 15

even more maybe altogether we needed 15 columns in this space we melt them all

columns in this space we melt them all

columns in this space we melt them all into one twist carrying this huge roof

into one twist carrying this huge roof

into one twist carrying this huge roof and with this we we just wish we

and with this we we just wish we

and with this we we just wish we oriented and guided the people towards

oriented and guided the people towards

oriented and guided the people towards the way where they had to walk to but

the way where they had to walk to but

the way where they had to walk to but you could see each other as it’s so

you could see each other as it’s so

you could see each other as it’s so important in public spaces that you know

important in public spaces that you know

important in public spaces that you know where you are you can have many safety

where you are you can have many safety

where you are you can have many safety cameras everywhere but they also need to

cameras everywhere but they also need to

cameras everywhere but they also need to see where things are so so the

see where things are so so the

see where things are so so the architecture guides you orient you and

architecture guides you orient you and

architecture guides you orient you and support you in wayfinding and and this

support you in wayfinding and and this

support you in wayfinding and and this also me very important to discover that

also me very important to discover that

also me very important to discover that when people walk around to you they walk

when people walk around to you they walk

when people walk around to you they walk in a curve and they can always look back

in a curve and they can always look back

in a curve and they can always look back where they come from so it is not so

where they come from so it is not so

where they come from so it is not so that you again walk into a dead-end area

that you again walk into a dead-end area where everything is linear in the way

where everything is linear in the way

where everything is linear in the way how you move through space but most

how you move through space but most

how you move through space but most important is that we on a small spot in

important is that we on a small spot in

important is that we on a small spot in the city of Arnhem because that’s where

the city of Arnhem because that’s where

the city of Arnhem because that’s where the station is we could also introduce
