project presentations<br />
KCAP is an internationally operated Dutch design firm specia�<br />
lised in architecture and urbanism. The firm is lead by its four<br />
partners: Han van den Born, Kees Christiaanse, Ruurd Giete�<br />
ma and Irma van Oort.<br />
KCAP, based in Rotterdam, was fo<strong>und</strong>ed in 1989 by Kees Chris�<br />
tiaanse. The office has been working with an international staff<br />
of 55 employees, which are committed to all phases of the ar�<br />
chitectural and urbanistic design processes. Despite the large<br />
number of employees, the office managed to retain its horizon�<br />
tal hierarchy. Through the presence of cross�cultural disciplines<br />
new perspectives emerge, which in turn affect local practices.<br />
This is the result of a multi�disciplinary commitment and conti�<br />
nuous involvement from preliminary sketch�design to the pro�<br />
jects‘ completion.<br />

KCAP‘s oeuvre is wide in scope and ranges from complex ur�<br />
ban transformations and landscape design to architecture and<br />
interiors. More than 140 projects have been designed since its<br />
fo<strong>und</strong>ing, of which more than 60 are realised in the Nether�<br />
lands and Germany. Furthermore, KCAP participates in Euro�<br />
pean and Asian based projects<br />
In his lecture at EASA, Kees Christiaanse talked about new<br />
sustainable communities in Europe. He used the so�called 0�<br />
energy twin towers in Utrecht to introduce his explanation of<br />
sustainable technology. Furthermore, Christiaanse explained<br />
the core points of the transformation strategy (efficient land<br />
use, mixed use, mobility concept, social cohesion, public/pri�<br />
vate, proactive landscape, traces and identity, climate orien�<br />
tation, water and surface management). He also introduced<br />
the Hannover principles (set up by William McDonough and<br />
Michael Braungart in 1992) and went on with an example of a<br />
good practice building, the GWL�terrein, Amsterdam/The Ne�<br />
therlands.<br />
