Designing public spaces and buildings
makes high demands on the archi-
tect, who does not work in isolation
from behind a drawing board, but in a
complex arena with many competing
forces. Stakeholders include clients,
public bodies, future users, interest
groups and other professionals such as
structural engineers. At Syb van Breda
& Co, we see it as our job to inspire the-
se stakeholders, to motivate them and
make contact between them. To a large
extent, designing a bridge or a buil-
ding is a collaborative effort between
people, not solely on paper. We want
to build bridges and make connections:
literally, but also figuratively. Only then
does the synergy come alive, which
makes our designs rise above expec-
tations while remaining simple and
intuitive.

Vision Meindert Hobbema,
Laantje bij Middelharnis
Landscape, infrastructure and
architecture in a unified setting
Syb van Breda & Co is built upon 20
years of international experience, in
a variety of locations including the
Netherlands Antilles, the United King-
dom and Dubai. This enables us to look
at spatial challenges in the Nether-
lands and elsewhere in a fresh and
original way, resulting in world-class
designs without losing the touch of
‘Dutch sobriety’. We translate difficult
challenges into beautiful, simple and
user-friendly designs, using the latest
scientific and technical developments.
We are inspired by designs which com-
bine ingenious structure with a beau-
tiful and imaginative exterior, such as
the iPad, or a good poem. For us it is
important that our work is sustainable,
in the widest sense of the word. This
includes working with durable materi-
als and replaceable raw materials, as
well as making optimally efficient use
of the available space, which is critical
here in the Netherlands. We believe
that a building should be adaptable,
able to serve different functions over
the years without losing its identity.

complex architectural challenges.
We design infrastructure and buildings
which promote people’s mobility and
interaction. We do this with the utmost
respect for the wishes of the client and
future users. We primarily focus on op-
timum ease of use and maximum de-
ployment of sustainable materials and
resources.

Frozen dance
A truly iconic bridge for a truly magnificent location. A bridge with an
inspiring, even poetic profile, far transcending its functional roots: two
pylon legs join in a frozen dance high in the air, lifting the deck over
the water in one magnificent sweep - the huge volume of 12 lanes
of traffic and the metro alleviated into a gentle floating ribbon. Toge-
ther, the transparent bridge and opaque opera house form a striking
silhouette, reflecting the fortuitous mix of east and west, with open
doors and open minds, which is the quintessence of Dubai.
The 6th Crossing Bridge is an integrated public transport node. The
bridge provides a crossing place for a large number of users, on dif-
ferent levels. The upper deck is for vehicles, the lower deck for the
metro and pedestrians. Both decks are joined into one stiff, structural
frame. This is essential for a cable-stayed bridge. The separate levels
for metro and car traffic make it is possible to create a metro station
in the middle of the bridge, directly linked with the opera house and
ferry terminals, all comfortably out of the sun.
The design was created for an international design competition with
entries from America, Australia, Malaysia and Singapore. In this ex-
tremely competitive field we achieved an honourable second place.

The currently invisible, but malodorous, purification plant will be
extended and transformed into a high tech, clean and very sustaina-
ble facility. The new plant, managed by the Rijnland water authority,
will blend well with its surroundings. The overall design is essen-
tially horizontal, giving it a modest profile and leaving a clear view
of the monumental windmill and the future Middenweg boulevard.
The massive cylindrical and cubic shapes of the basins and buildings
are linked together via a flowing landscape full of trees, flowers and
reeds. Forbidding perimeter fences are replaced by an attractive yet
functional moat around the facility. All buildings are clad with an aes-
thetic skin around their existing structure, giving them an attractive
new appearance with minimum cost and without excessive use of
energy. The facilities themselves are treated in an even more modest
way. Their robust, platonic shapes already have their own beauty. The
addition of a conical or domed roof is all that is required. At the start
of the design process there were two options: renovation with partial
extension, or extension with partial renovation. The latter option pro-
ved to be superior in terms of long-term energy use and was chosen
for further development.

The New Tram Bridge sits at the crossing of two canals and is clearly
visible from all sides. The municipality of Assen describes the
design challenge as follows: “The bridge is an important landmark,
framing the urban space of the ‘Kanaal’ and an important silhouette
in the image of the ‘Vaart’”. The bridge is surrounded by emblematic
buildings from various periods, carefully detailed public space and
beautiful (but still young) greenery. Within this ensemble, we have
searched for an instantly recognizable design befitting the quality of
this spot. We found inspiration in the fascinating tram bridge which
crowned the location for most of the twentieth century, but which has
unfortunately been demolished. Our design is a twentyfirst century
“reincarnation” of this impressive bridge. Like its predecessor, the
New Tram Bridge has a fascinating moving mechanism, with the
technology of its time. The steel structure is solid, simple and honest.
The bridge has a beautiful, transparent, logical and elegant shape,
with great visual richness. In essence, the bridge consists of a deck and
a counterweight, interconnected by a transparent structure. The entire
construction is not just a good looking silhouette, but also a gate. This
is a bridge to go through, rather than over. The bridge lighting has
been carefully designed the handrail with encased LED lighting
creates a comfortable and safe “light space” that is good for the users,
whilst avoiding glare hinder for neighbours, flora and fauna.

Prins Bernhard Bridge
Client: Local authority of Zaanstad
Assignment: Total design & engineering
Location: Zaandam, the Netherlands
Programme: 2 x 2 lanes, 2 pedestrian and cyclist paths

Period: 2001 - 2008

The Prins Bernhard bridge is a very important link in Zaanstad, as
it provides one of the few connections over the Zaan river between
east and west, people and neighbourhoods, schools and shops. Co-
ming from the motorway, it provides the first visual contact with the
river Zaan. At the highest point of the bridge there is an extensive
view across the water. The dual character of the bridge as both an
entrance and an important link has been integrated into the design.
The striking profile of the two high counterweights gives the bridge
its monumental appearance. The opening mechanism of the Prins
Bernhard Bridge is both technically simple and spatially spectacular.
The counterweight of the bridge is embedded in both the high wings
and the massive “ball” under the deck. When the bridge opens to let
ships pass, part of the deck goes down and part goes up. In normal
circumstances the bridge opens to 45 degrees (see photograph on the
right). This means that the opening and closing time is short and the
hindrance to traffic is minimised. In exceptional cases the bridge can
be opened to 85 degrees, allowing for the passage of tall objects such
as silos. The Prins Bernhard bridge accommodates a variety of users:
pedestrians, cyclists, cars. buses and ships. The main deck is placed re-
latively high above the water, allowing most ships to pass underneath
easily. However, this means that the bridge heads are long and not
directly connected with the quaysides. This situation is rectified by the
ramps, which form a direct contact between the bridge deck and quay
side. The Prins Bernhard bridge received a nomination for the 2008
National Steel building award.1) the setting in Zaandam

New Aalmarkt Bridge
3) 3D principle of the parapet
4) long section
By moving the southern approach of the new Aalmarkt bridge, the
Waaghoofd quayside area is freed up for use as a public space. This
single intervention creates a multitude of opportunities for more in-
tensive use of the space. The waterscape will be surrounded by mee-
ting places and terraces on all sides.
Just like the current bridge, the new bridge should lie, modest and
slender, amidst this ensemble of elements, so that the user primarily
experiences the surrounding space rather than the object itself. The
new bridge must remain a secondary connection, clamped between
the quaysides and in clear contrast to the other, primary connections
in the area such as the Visbrug and Kippenbrug bridges.
In order for the new Aalmarkt bridge to successfully blend with its
cultural and historical surroundings, we believe that special attention
should be paid to the breadth of the bridge deck, the trans-
parency of the construction and parapets, and the connection
to the banks of the canal. In order to retain the transparent
nature of this important location, the bridge is made as nar-
row as possible. We believe that the new bridge should not
be broader than 5 metres in the middle of the crossing point.
This is an excellent place to integrate seating into the balus-
trades of the bridge.

At the time of its opening, this was the most sustainable educational
building in the Netherlands. It is located on a beautiful corner of
the campus of Delft University of Technology, a strategic location
where leafy Jaffalaan crosses the historic Rotterdamseweg. This is
an eye-catching, attractive building that effortlessly does justice to
its location: open and transparent, comfortable for both students and
staff. The natural light and surrounding views have been exploited
to the maximum. The building is conceived as a system of squares
and routes, allowing for easy connections and many opportunities
for exchange and communication. The building is very compact
in layout, with only three floors and parking on the roof, leading
to minimal land use and leaving space for future extension in the
shape of a fourth wing. Several state of the art innovations have been
incorporated in the building, such as heat and cold storage in the
subsoil acquifer, activated floors and ceilings, as well as a building
control system. These elements gave the building a GreenCalc score
of 257 points at the time of its opening, which is currently the highest
score for any educational building in the Netherlands. The building
is designed to accommodate further optimisation in the future, such
as the installation of wind turbines on the roof and a fuel cell for
the production of electricity. Once installed, these elements would
make the building fully self-supporting in terms of energy use. All
this technology has been integrated into the architecture. The former
monument to individual study has been replaced by a transparent
laboratory full of interaction and inspiration.1) view of the entrance

Muiden unlocked
In the near future the huge A1 motorway viaduct over the river Vecht
will be replaced by an aquaduct and a modest local traffic bridge.
Town and landscape will be reconnected. The new Muiden bridge has
a double function. The bridge provides passage for ships, cyclists and
cars, fitting seamlessly into the surrounding landscape of river, polder
and historic town. In our view the archetypal arch bridge is a good
model. It is a classic bridge model which has been used throughout
Europe for centuries. Our vision is to create a contemporary yet time-
less bridge, spanning the water with elegant, curves. This approach
maximises the views “through” the bridge and into the surrounding
area. In terms of materials and shape, the new Muiden bridge repre-
sents a twentyfirst century link to the impressive civilian and military
brickwork buildings of Muiden.

of roof area, which can be insulated with an Rc of 10 or higher. The
façade will be largely constructed with triple glazing, resulting in mi-
nimal loss of energy. The design has potential for innovative energy
production, such as solar cells on the south-facing roof. The size of
the building also makes it possible to heat and cool the building as
needed, using a biofuel installation and geothermal storage. The use
of fossil fuels can be completely eliminated. A GreenCalc score of over
300 points, with an EPC of less than 1.0, is easily achievable.
The new world of work focuses on teamwork, communication and the
power of people. There is an emphasis on innovation, transparency
and commitment: open doors and open minds. The design presented
here is for the headquarters of a Dutch multinational company. The
aim was to include everything and everyone under one roof, with op-
timum flexibility, making communication and staff interaction the first
priorities. Of course, the building is sustainable, designed to achieve
a ‘Very Good’ BREEAM rating. If needed, floors can be separated into
individually lettable units, without diminishing the building’s functio-
nality for the main user. The layout of the building is deceptively sim-
ple. Three parallel floors, each 16.2 m1 wide, provide ample space for
both people and cars. The central floor area is for transport, daylight
and of course: interaction between people. The chosen layout results
in an extremely efficient floor plan with a ratio between lettable and
gross floor area of 92%. Initially, this building is designed to accom-
modate a single tenant, but it can be adapted to allow one or more
floors to be sublet. If in future the main user chooses to leave the buil-
ding, it can easily be changed into a multi-tenant building. The design
has an extremely compact building shape, with a floor/external skin
area ratio of 1.55 (18,500 m2 GFA / 12,000 m2 façade and roof), which
is about 30% better than a standard design. The groundscraper layout
of the building means that a large part of the building skin consists

columns, providing an elegant gateway into Zaanstad. The bridge pro-
vides a functional through-route for buses, bikes and pedestrians and
simultaneously creates a beautiful viewing platform over the lands-
cape in general and the Zaanstad marina in particular. The bridge ap-
pears to be tied to the earth, rather than supported. It looks as though
it could fly away at any moment.

Welcome to the Palm
Palm Jebel Ali and the mainland will be connected by a 450 meter long
cable-stayed bridge. The architectural design of this bridge is charac-
terized by the clear and daring separation between the pylons and
the bridge deck. Despite its massive size the deck appears to hover in
space, elegantly floating in its web of cables. Thanks to its fully free-
standing location, the bridge can be admired from all sides - it will
serve as an icon for Palm Jebel Ali, like its famous peers around the
world such as the Brooklyn bridge, the Golden Gate bridge and the
Firth of Forth bridge.
The design of the Palm Jebel Ali bridge is a classic example of lateral
thinking. The client wished for an absolute icon and indicated that
there was a generous budget available. The design was principally
driven by the wish to improve on the bridge leading to the first Palm
(Palm Jumeira), from which passers-by have almost no contact with
the water. Here everything had to be different. A spectacular profile,
with a panoramic view on all sides, was designed to make entering
Palm Jebel Ali an event in itself. But then, in November 2008 every-
thing changed.

The location is defined by the sharp angle between the railway track
and Wierdensestraat, resulting in a complex, but efficient floor plan
layout. The triangular shape is ideal for a central atrium, and the con-
nections to all corners of the building are quick and easy. Despite its
large size (30,000 m2), the building has a comfortable, spacious and
intimate ambiance. The atrium functions as the natural communal
heart of the building. It is the first area reached by users when they
enter the building and provides a meeting place for them. Each of the
three wings of the building can be reached via its own spacious, un-
dulating staircase; the wings are interconnected via skybridges. This
gives the building optimum flexibility, as the way the space is used
can be changed over time. The atrium also makes the building very
energy-efficient, as cooling through the façade surface is minimised.
The classic ‘school yard’ has evolved into a pleasant covered square,
which can be used 365 days per year. Since the opening of the buil-
ding, the atrium has been used for a wide variety of activities, ranging
from conferences and symposia to rock concerts and theatre shows.

2) intertwining with the landscape

The primary goal of this assignment is to bridge the space between
two parks. In this respect the bridge can be compared with a wildlife
corridor. It is important to connect four routes and to cross the road
and railway track in an attractive way. Our prime inspiration being the
landscape, we searched for a bridge design that would complement
this, rather than making a spectacular statement or creating a dra-
matic suspension structure. For centuries, one of the most distinctive
aspects of road and canal connections within and through the Dutch
landscape, has been the combination of clear lines with basic protecti-
on against wind, rain and sun. A sparsely protected space, marked out
by thin trees, providing a place from which to observe the landscape.
The churches and farms of landscape painter Meindert Hobbema are
augmented by railways and cars to form a 21st century tableau. The
dominant straight line of the polder axis connecting Delft with the
‘green heart’ of central Holland is softened by the meandering line
between the dunes and Midden Delfland. Together they merge to form
an elegant crossing with rotational symmetry, giving the user a filte-
red view over the surrounding landscape, whilst providing the bridge
with its own dynamic.

As with its predecessor, the design of the new Rijnsburger bridge is
notable for its modesty. It is a calm and subtle intervention in the ur-
ban fabric of the old city centre. The bridge is widened to accommo-
date more traffic, enhancing its character. The bridge is accessible on
all sides via the sine-like shape of the land abutments and the bridge
deck. At the same time, this shape also softens the impact of the great-
ly enlarged volume. On the south side of the bridge, a wider pavement
is created to accommodate the large number of pedestrians going to
and from the station. On the north side of the bridge, the balustrade
develops gradually into a bench, to reveal a space for those who are
not just passing through.
The construction of the bridge was a celebration of craftsmanship.
The three-dimensionally curving brickwork was made with great
care. New guides were positioned layer by layer, creating a specta-
cular molten brickwork effect, which will endure for many years to
come. The parapet/seating element was also made in a special way.
The three-dimensional shape was impossible to draw, so the parapet
was built on-site, using individual steel elements which were fixed in
temporarily. These elements were then dismantled and brought to the
workshop for high quality finishing. The finished design has created a
new special meeting place for people in the city.

we have given special attention to the interior climate. The education
spaces are mostly north oriented, around a atrium enriched with plants
and water. this space is the drawing room for the whole community
of the Faculty, from where all corners of the building can be quickly
reached. this too is a form of sustainability.This design defines a new standard in the design of sustainable
buildings for education, with a Greencalc score estimated at 700
points. The building fits well in its surroundings, bridging the scale
gap between the villa’s to the north and the large education and
research buildings to the south and west.
The result is a welcoming and iconic building, comfortably placed in
a spacious green environment. The 530 parking places and similarly
capacitated bicycle storage have been placed underground. The
sustainable measures form an integral part of the architectural design
and are clearly visible: the energy producing south facade, where
thousands of pv cells are oriented towards the sun. The energy saving
north facade wmostly built up of a living outer layer. Thanks to the PV
cells and an Bio Mass installation, the building is fully CO2 neutral,
fossil fuel is not needed anymore.
For us the essential qualities of the building are a comfortable
environment for its many users in an attractive house. That is why

The current Vollenhover canal bridge has been in use since 1941. At
that time, both road and canal use were on a different scale than to-
day. Road traffic, and especially cycle traffic, has increased dramati-
cally, but still has to be squeezed through the narrow passage of the
bridge. This causes delays and is dangerous for cyclists and pedes-
trians. In the new set-up, cars will be separated from slower traffic.
The use of the canal itself has also changed significantly. It is prac-
tically impossible for the superyachts which are built at the nearby
Huisman shipyard to pass through. A larger and faster opening me-
chanism is needed. We are fascinated by the double visual meaning
of this bridge: on the one hand it serves as a permanent connection
between two shores and a continuous passage for pleasure boats. Ho-
wever, it is also a through-route for occasional large cargoes, which
need completely open access. The bridge is a gateway in two directi-
ons, between old and new land, city and shipyard. Finally, the bridge
is also an important landmark in an open area, visible from all sides,
especially now that the bridge will be so much bigger than its prede-
cessor. Within this set of considerations, we sought to maximise the
contrast between open and closed. When closed it is impossible to
comprehend how the bridge opens; the permanent nature of the con-
nection is emphasized. The superstructure has a powerful and distinc-
tive profile, both nearby and also seen from further afield. A floating,
elegantly shaped steel beam is suspended imposingly above the road
and the water.

These eight bridges, for bicycles and pedestrians, are designed to
replace their worn out wooden predecessors. They are light and
elegant, as a modern interpretation of the typical 19th century park
bridge. A CorTen steel bridge deck is embraced by balustrades made
from steel and structural glass. The balustrades are made from curved
and laminated glass panels which are connected to the bridge deck
with stainless steel clips. The stainless steel handrail complements
the glass panels above the deck like a frame, whilst underneath the
bridge the glass hangs free to allow the flow of rainwater.
The bridges received an honourable mention at the 2008 Dutch
National Steel Building awards.

The Bergse Zonnebloem school building is an unassuming monument,
with many distinctive details, which is sorely in need of a good
overhaul. Our primary aim is to achieve the necessary expansion
with respect for the existing architecture, so that the character of
the building is retained. We therefore propose to respect the most
important features of this special garden-suburb building: the set-
back building line and the corner detail. The four extra classrooms
required will be housed in an extra storey on top of the building,
beneath a barrel-shaped “roof”. This simple shape is distinct from
the original architecture, yet still complements it. There are already
curved architectonic elements in many parts of the current building.
Old and new reinforce one another. We believe that the vibrantly-
coloured, arched shape connects well with the imagination-filled
world of primary school children. The Bergse Zonnebloem school is
given a new, sun-filled lease of life.

Plofsluis Bridge

The leading principle in this challenge is the embedding of a new
large bridge in the existing ensemble of structural works: National
Monument Plofsluis, Heemsteedse- and Overeindse bridge. For us a
robust, efficient and humble arch bridge is the perfect addition. It is a
well known bridge type in the Dutch landscape. The sturdy concrete
Plofsluis will be flanked by curved steel bridges on either side. The
new bridge has a much larger span than the Overeindse bridge (twice
as long), risking a dominant profile. That is why we have designed it
as a low arch, with a powerful and transparent truss. The top of the
new bridge has the same height as Overeindse bridge, resulting in a
well balanced and quiet ensemble. The new bridge is designed with
a simple, symmetrical profile. The trusses provide a unique free view
over the water, whilst concurrently there is a certain visual protection
within the mighty structure. The elegant and logic structure of the
three dimensional truss is apprehensible in one glance.

Bastion De Valk
Leiden has international stature as a historical and academic centre,
with a rich palette of beautiful canals, cityscapes and museums. But
the city has also always been an important transport node. In 2010,
the picture is different, Leiden is certainly easy to reach by train, but
has a chronic shortage of good parking. The town council is planning
to do something about this. 1 000 new parking spaces, new large retail
space and homes are planned in or near downtown. Syb van Breda
& Co made a proposal for one of the potential locations: bulwark “de
Valk”. Our scheme replaces the current messy area into a focal point
of urban activity. We propose to change the current tarmac into an
undulating park, part of the Green Singel Route, with a wonderful
orientation to the Singel and the inner-city skyline. Windmill de Valk,
the most visited museum in Leiden, is suddenly in the middle of a
park, rather then in the middle of a car park. Wrapped in the folds of
the park is a parking garage with space for 600 cars, 7,000 m2 retail
area in large units and homes. Obviously, the 3 October fair can still
take place once a year, on top of the roof.

Julius Caesar Bridge

2
The Julius Caesar is a bridge of many contradictions: between a tree-
lined canal and a high tech steel and glass structure, between the
necessary heavy infrastructure for passing ships and the light bridge
deck for slower traffic hovering above, between the straight lines of
the canal and the curves of the parapet and the deck, between its ap-
parent solidity in the closed situation and its fragmentation whilst
open, between complexity and simplicity. In short, a bridge that lives
up to its name.
The bridge has a classic movement mechanism in the form of a coun-
terweight. However, this is concealed in very refined way (in the mas-
sive abutment on the eastern side). At first glance it seems that the
bridge cannot be opened at all. When it opens to allow a ship to pass
through, the apparently solid deck suddenly falls apart in fragmen-
tation. But usually the deck is connected, underlining the strong link
between Roomburg and the city centre of Leiden.

A total makeover
In assignment of Mayor and Aldermen of Wassenaar we have made
the design and planning for a thorough renovation and restauration
of this monumental building in bad shape.
The Paauw is a grade 1 listed National Monument, with a wealth
of historic details and high quality materials and architectural
finishing. First of all the building is in desprate need of restauration
and reconstruction. Next to this surgical operations in the use of the
building and surrounding grounds would be welcome. The main
goal is to prepare the Paauw for the necessities of the twentyfirst
century, whilst maintaining the monumental quality. The scheme
also comprises of measures in reduction of energy use resulting in
lower operating costs. In most ultilitarian buildings such measures
are difficult to realise, as the return on investment takes too long to
be economically viable. In this case, where the building will still be
in use for public functions in a hundred years from now, a return on
investment horizon of some twenty years is acceptable. our children
will be grateful.

Voldijk Bridge

Our greatest inspiration for this design was a modest, restrained and
functional appearance. When crossing, the cyclist slowly leaves the
usual path through the landscape, to temporarily hover above it. The
first part of the journey is still on terra firma, on a gently climbing slo-
pe with water on all sides; then, still connected to the land, comes the
transition to the bridge approach, with its sloping concrete contours
and the beginning of the transparent balustrades; finally, the great
leap over the water through the light, arched structure.
In terms of both colour and texture, our design closely reflects this
beautiful architectural route. Our vision includes pleasantly wide em-
bankments, with gentle inclines. The balustrades then introduce the
beginning of the actual bridge. A visually restrained, safe and very
transparent, anthracite-coloured railing fence closely follows the slim
contours of the deck. It also acts as a natural separation between the
relatively heavy, but simultaneously elegant, clean concrete substruc-
ture and the light, articulated steel superstructure. As the arches and
deck of the main bridge span are mainly seen against a background
of sky and water, we suggest that they should be coloured light blue,
to further emphasise the lightness and slenderness of the structure.

Wolfert PRO
A robust, compact building with a fresh, modern charm – built in an
industrial way, with a functional and flexible layout. The compact
shape fits well within the desired urban location, as a link in a chain
of individual “images”. The school has an attractive, direct connection
with the “front garden” of the neighbouring town hall, which resembles
a stately home. The slightly arched roof is our response to the slightly
curved shape of the office wing of the town hall. We suggest that the
building should be surrounded with greenery and water, giving it an
independent character in relation to the neighbouring homes.
The broad range of programmes - Food & Health, Business &
Administration and Design, Theatre & Support - ensure that the
Wolfert PRO school has a strong profile, doing justice to the idea of a
broad range of school leavers. The learning areas at Wolfert PRO are
located around the central role which the theatre will play within the
school. The theatre acts as a central reference point for all the learning
areas, giving them additional meaning. Practical training areas, such
as the professional catering kitchen complete with restaurant and
the theatre, act as learning environments during school hours and as
social/cultural areas for both pupils and local residents, during and
outside school hours.

Less is more
1) extremely slim bridge deck, all elements on the deck are collected in the
centre, unrestricted views all around
2) cyclists and pedestrians separated by the spine
The local authority of Alkmaar set clear guidelines for the design of
the new bridge across the Noord-Holland canal: just like the other
bridges in the town, this one should have its own individual character.
At the same time, the new bridge needed to fit modestly into its
surroundings, with a simple shape. The new bridge should form a
functional whole with the railway bridge, but its shape should clearly
distinguish it from the railway bridge.
We achieved the desired modesty and visual simplicity by using
a minimalist shape. Our design is characterised by a strong line in
the middle of the deck: the spine. This is a torsion-proof beam which
gives the bridge its strength. The beam projects 40cm above the deck,
which means that people can pause and sit on it for a brief moment.
In addition, it provides a safe way to separate cyclists and pedestrians.
All the necessary functional elements on the deck, such as barriers,
cameras and lighting, are integrated into the spine, creating a tranquil
view towards and around the bridge. The tapered edges and the
position of the main beam above deck make the profile of the bridge
appear extremely slim. The operating mechanism is positioned
below the deck, which gives the closed bridge a very serene, elegant
appearance.

Wolfert Dalton Client: BAM Rotterdam
Assignment: Architectural concept design
Location: Rotterdam, the Netherlands
Programme: Secondary school
Period: June/july 2011
Status: Tender design
Project team Syb van Breda & Co, architects:Syb van Breda, Nicolai Waterdrinker,Maikel Waterdrinker
Wolfert Dalton
This location offers a unique opportunity to link the special secondary
school and the Rijndam rehabilitation centre with the mainstream
Wolfert Dalton Hillegersberg secondary school (the current user of the
“pavilion school”). Integrating both facilities under the motto “special
where needed, mainstream where possible” is the great dream of
Rotterdam’s municipal Youth, Education and Community department.
The architectural assignment is a combination of renovating the
existing buildings and creating a new facility for special secondary
education, as well as two sports halls. In our view, the key to this
assignment lies in a good balance between retaining the distinctive
group of post-war buildings with their green, transparent and small-
scale character, and the metamorphosis to a flexible, closely-clustered
and efficient new education complex.
We propose that the renovation of the current building and the new
building for the special secondary school and the sports halls should
be integrated, creating a much more efficient complex with far better
opportunities for interaction and multifunctionality. We propose to
“double” three of the four pavilions, by adding new teaching space
on the corridor side of the existing pavilion. Three “glasshouses”
will also be constructed between the pavilions. This results in a very
flexible and multifunctional building, which can be used in all kinds
of different ways. The floor space of the total area is increased by a
generous 2000m2. The total outer shell of the new building is much
smaller in relation to the floor space than is currently the case, leading
to to much better energy management.

Transfer A12 Client: Ballast Nedam, Van Oord
Assignment: Architectural concept design
Location: Gouda, the Netherlands
Programme: Redevelopment of highway
Period: 2012
Status: Tender design
Project team Syb van Breda & Co, architects:Syb van Breda, Jasper Arends, Tom de Weijer, Nicolai Waterdrinker
Transfer A12
This is an area where a multitude of landscapes (polder, city, river,
future parks and big infrastructure) is mixed with several crossing
water-, rail and motorways. In this complex palette we have searched
for a clear, individual image for the parallel structure to the existing
backbone A12 motorway. The connection to the Motorway proper have
been designed as “green blue entries”. Parklike polder worlds with
meadows, water retention and extensive ecological wetlands mark the
beginning and end of the parallel structure. The structural works will be
designed using a “toolbox” of finishing materials, colours and objects
such as noise barriers, parapets and the like. Thus the seemingly
fragmented and diverse landscape setting is forged together by the
instantly recognisable image of the structural works themselves. The
view of the surrounding countryside is optimal thanks to minimally
detailed railings and noise barriers. The viaducts are relatively simple.
The underpass under the A12 is designed as a green-blue interior in a
contemporary landscape. The movable bridge over the Gouwe with a
height of seven meters is by far the most visible of all. That is why we
have opted here for minimal visual obstruction. Slender columns and
the omission of a bascule basement provide sweeping views of the
rural and urban environment.

Breitnerstraat 90-96
The former Nunnery cum girls’ school is currently in use an education
facility for Albeda college. At request of BAM Rotterdam, we have
prepared a concept for a total make over of the building. Starting
points are the facts that Albeda wishes to leave the building and the
monumental character of the building has to be respected. We have
investigated a new use of the building with a mix of hotel, wellness,
restaurants and residential functions. Despite the complex structure of
the building with many different floor heights and complex stairwells,
the overall layout is remarkably versatile in potential for use and
efficiency. By and large our concept is a horizontal stack of functions:
apartments along Mathenesserlaan, a restaurant in the former chapel
and a hotel, cum short stay apartments along Breitnerstraat.

circa 85 kamers. De schit-

Out & About in Palm Deira
1) Scale comparison Amsterdam versus Palm Deira
This prize winning concept is about a metropolis to live in, a transport
oriented development that gives the public space of the city back to its
inhabitants, rather than just the cars of its inhabitants. It consists of a
well balanced mix of strategic highways, water transport and transit
lines. Palm Deira is a project with incredible challenges: integrating
the needs of economic viability and spatial quality, keeping up with
the fame and expectations of the previous projects, using the lever-
age of its magnitude to enhance the quality of the existing urban
core. In 2020 1.2 million inhabitants will live in Palm Deira that is
about as many as live in the whole of Dubai at the moment. This is a
masterplan for the long term, the impact of the worldwide crisis in
2008 and 2009 have resulted in shelving of this project for probably
many years.
