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 />
