これは学校ではありません
英語のみでの詳細Learning is working best when kids are into subjects of study that match their interests. It also works well when projects are realistic.
Also there has to be place for the making. It should be possible to make prototypes, do experiments, program shows and produce goods to express yourself.
This Is No School is the world on a stamp. A meeting square, workshops, labs, a theater, a fram, sporting facilities, restaurants, shops and a hotel.
2kB of Fun
1976年から1985年の初期の携帯ゲーム機で、これほど贅沢な種類のケースデザインを誰もみたことがありませんでした。これらの携帯ゲーム機がもつ本質をこれまで美しくシンプルに出したコンピューターゲームはありませんでした。2KBメモリーでこれほどまでの楽しみを提供できた例はなかったのです。1983年はアミダー、アストロサンダー7、バーガータイム、ディグダグ、ミズパックマン、キューバート、スーパーコブラ、ザクソンのようなゲームにとって最高の年でした。
オランダの建築家、マルタィン・コッホは200に及ぶ優れた携帯ゲームを購入し、撮影、解体したのちに技術分析をし、研究後、今まで誰もみたことがない、素晴らしいカタログのような本にしました。

英語のみでの詳細Redesignme.com is a website where designers are challenged to create new designs for certain products.
Garton Jones used redesignme.com to search for a redesign of the Ativa 10 Digit Desk Calculator.
I'm always puzzled by the fact most calculators still function like the early 1970 designs. A time when chip logic was very expensive, and the amount of components was kept to a minimum. Today's standard micro controller is way more powerful. So my primary goal was to create a new set of basic functionality.
Which means I had to redesign the layout of the buttons first. The design itself continues proved ingredients like injection mould plastic, the perfect shape of PTT's Zurich telephone and modern white OLED matrix displays.
My own challenge was to make the design in one hour on a Friday afternoon.
The result: a top 3 note among 109 redesigns. "Your redesign was part of my top 3. Very well done! Yours sincerely, Charlie Garton-Jones"
XXL
英語のみでの詳細Kingspan Netherlands wanted to expand their factory for insulation panels in Kesteren, and to combine it with their distribution facility and offices in Dodewaard.
At the new industrial zone Medel near Tiel the needed 700.000m2 plot was available. The area also allowed high risk production plants.
At the moment phase 1 is completed. The plot has room for expansion with 2 more production lines and 3 times the amount of distribution storage that is part of phase 1.
Kinspan asked construction and design firm Van Zeist to draw the design. As architect I was responsible for the design up to approval of the design by the urban supervisor and the local "beauty commission".

英語のみでの詳細When the design of Retro Space was finished, we needed a matching website.
Because of the presumption that Retro Space could become a hit on the internet, we tried to make the website as small as possible. We did not want the website to crash on bandwidth problems.
Matching the style of the retro games, the website is designed in pixel art. All elements except some product shots are GIF images in 4 colours. It's just like the early years of internet when bandwidth was scarce.
私はあなたにバラ園を約束したこと
英語のみでの詳細An abandoned commercial plot in the centre of Heteren had to be filled with 19 apartments. Contractor Kuijpers had moved to the city limits and the housing corporation "Woningstichting Heteren" had 4 outdated senior-citizen houses on the adjacent plot at the Rozenpad street. The combined plot connects a traditional village street with a seventies extension to Heteren. The housing coorporation asked me to design the modernist block fitting the seventies area.
I designed this appartment block as employer of Bouwkundig ontwerp- en adviesburo van Zeist BV
人鱼姫
英語のみでの詳細When we visited Copenhagen, I was surprised by the complex metro map for the very small network. It should be possible to draw a map easier to understand and graphically more appealing to visitors.
I designed a new metro map that shows the relation with the city. It combines all trains with different schedules on similar routes to bring back overview.
