With 2012Architecten, research and concept development for cyclifier.org.
Cyclifier.org is an online community of innovators that enable local exchanges of resource flows. The site allows you to post and view in-depth case studies of reuse within urban metabolism.
Researchers: Jan Jongert, Nels Nelson, and Coen de Koning. Assistants: Anna Brambilla, Piero Medici, and Jan Wouter Vorderman. Graphic design: Anna Brambilla, Vosbrenner. Programmer: Lettow Studios.

“Architect Jan Jongert, urban ecologist Nels Nelson and chemical engineer Fabienne Goosens of 2012Architecten are all part of a shifting cast of specialists, undertaking research and design in this Rotterdam-based practice. Here they describe how a focus on recycling has led them to develop research tools, such as harvest maps, urban metabolism studies, material flow analyses and Sankey diagrams. These provide essential information for designers.”
Andrea Abita, Robbert de Vrieze and I conceptualized Social Microclimates as climate-controlled public spaces that engender joy and community involvement year-round. We designed a catalog of alchemical devices that convert global warming factors into local liveliness - postindustrial boîtes à miracle - as transient monuments to teach us that we are active members in cities.

With EXCEPT Integrated Sustainability Consultants, an approach was created towards the sustainable refurbishment of TU Delft's Architecture Faculty (BK City Slim). View the project page.
Maxim Amosov and I were selected in the shortlist of entries for the Incheon International Design Awards 2010 – Green Heart competition with our project Biocycler, a fun sketch of a household anaerobic digester. From the competition:
BioCycler is a “plug-and-play” white good installed on an outgoing domestic sewer pipe to intercept organic waste, which is processed to produce heat, electricity, fertilizer, and clean water. The energetic yield is about 1 kWh of electricity and 1 MJ of heat per person per day. The fertilizer is a granulated mineral sludge, potent with phosphates, nitrogen, and potassium. The clean water is disinfected and can be outlet into surface water or reused in irrigation.
