About the film:
āIn Rotterdamās Museum Park, a summer pavilion resembling a garden shed invites pause. City poet Manu enters Pergola and begins to reflect on nature, care, and coexistence in the urban landscape. As he walks and writes, his attention shifts inward ā a quiet search for where connection begins. Around him, we encounter a temporary architectural intervention, crafted to inspire care ā garden tools at the ready and the living presence of the parkās many inhabitants. Shot on 16mm, Pergola is a lyrical short film that blurs the line between poetry and place, architecture and care, solitude and connection.ā

āOosterschelde in Onderhandelingā ~ In October with @studio_inscape we took part in a design competition of @parliamentofthings and won our case with this entry. 1 February we started developing the concept for a Dutch museum and knowledge centre as an interactive installation. Iām looking forward to share some of the progress soon!
Just back from a 3 week stay on the Caribbean island Sint Maarten for my studies. I already miss the friendly people and their habits, the whole island vibe and the energy of a country that is recovering after hurricane Irma left most of the built environment damaged 1,5 years ago. My graduation project will focus on a design proposal for shelter facilities (unfortunately Sint Maarten is prone to environmental hazards), but that combines a recreational and educational program to make the island community more resilient in general. Iāll be sharing some photos of the trip!
And yes, I misused the fieldtrip a tiny bit to connect with the place people always ask me if Iām from (but Iām not). #caribbeangirl #wannabe #sxm #sintmaarten
