Lemniscatus
Security barriers don't need to be aggressive or a DOT poseur as planter- they can be NY Tough, but soft and lemniscatus. Thank you artist Gina Miccinilli and The Compleat Sculptor for giving me hope and a killer scrabble word.

InHolland University Delft
The program for the InHolland University building was housing two department and administration. Departments were growing and shrinking so we used overlapping volumes an then shifted the floor plates in a way that every corner would be an open double height space for individual study. As usual, we were thinking in volume and not floor plan: If you want to cram in more people on a floor you better provide more height to avoid the feeling of overcrowding. The main auditorium is accessed from the floor that overlaps both departments.
Looking for practical solutions to make the glass panes flexible in the corners. With Ulrich Knaack

Mockup at Octatube of the thinnest double glass facade in the world. The Kevlar tubes are for compression, the Aramid cables are for tension. The whole structure fits in the cavity of the double glass! The Aramid cables have 8 Ton of tension per cable, but, unlike steel cables, they never have to be re-tensioned.

Glass Innovation Prize
10 years ago the InHolland University building in Delft was the recipient of the Glass Innovation Prize for the worlds thinnest double glass facade spanning four stories. A record it still holds. The structure is a carbon fiber tube and Aramide cable structure, where the structure is between the two sheets of the double glass. This was a fun innovation project with Ulrich Knaack and Mick Eekhout, and not to forget InHolland who, as the client let us do this....
