As finalists of the design competition EO Wijers 2020 - towards a delightful and vital countryside, we focused on the transformation of vacant agricultural yards in the Kempen region of North Brabant. The deterioration of these yards is causing problems there, but also elsewhere in the Netherlands. While these islands in the green offer wonderful opportunities.
​
This research fits in with our vision on area development, in which we, together with other architects and developers, use the Dutch housing shortage as a catalyst for a broad transition. One that benefits the landscape, the environment and social cohesion. To achieve this, we devise intelligent development strategies.
​
The current housing development of vacant yards is mainly that of the happy few; living in the green is possible, provided you pay a lot for it. We say: develop inclusive, contemporary housing programs, where a lasting relationship with the landscape and agricultural system is established.
​
In our elaboration of EO Wijers 2020, we also built on GRASP, an innovative simulation model that provides insight into the ecological footprint of small or large-scale development of homes and habitats.
"The Eo Wijers Foundation – named after structural engineer Leonard Wijers – has been an independent advocate for more than three decades for the use of regional design in tackling supralocal issues. The foundation has an illustrious history in which important transition tasks have been highlighted. brought."
