Johannes (Jan) van Tilburg was born Johannes Franciscus Pieter van Tilburg on March 1, 1942 in Nootdorp, The Netherlands. The eldest of six children, heis the son of the late Cornelus van Tilburg and Wilhelmina van Tilburg-Post, and an 11th generation architect/builder. A husband, father and grandfather, Johannes van Tilburg became an American citizen in 2007.A natural palette is used throughout – wood, stone, and plaster – from the lofty sculptural space of the lecture hall, to intimate window niches. Besides the exposed structural timber, simple wooden tables, benches, and cruciform reading lamps exude a sense of serenity and calm. Expansive windows allow natural light to flood the space while playfully capturing a range of views, some unexpected – the sky, a single tree, or people walking to the campus. An internal street marked by industrial steel columns continues to the back of the building. These columns are fitted with wooden tables where visitors can read, meet and study.

It turns the pit into sitting stairs for presentations and lectures, leading to the floor below, and extends above the office floor to provide a quiet mezzanine working area. Powerhouse Company has completed its design for A Circular Cube, the Netherlands’ first mass timber university building.Technical knowledge is assumed to have been acquired in the preliminary training. The curriculum of the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture is therefore concentrated entirely on architectural thinking and design. Fascia is the vertical band forming the outer surface of the building’s abstract cubic volume suspended above the landscape. Captured on film by Marcel IJzerman, the structure was slowly and carefully lifted over the course of several days by a coordinated system of hydraulic jacks to its final position. There, it will permanently hang from the visitor centre’s roof structure, allowing light to enter behind and giving it the appearance of floating in place. Celebrating its fifth anniversary, it reflects not only on the projects realised but also on the solid foundations laid for future growth.https://gitlab.com/architecttilburg %3A0x1d3ac5c886126dff!2sArchitect%20Tilburg!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sph!4v1761100819733!5m2!1sen!2sph" width="600" height="450" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade">Acting as lead architect, Civic teamed up with restoration experts Braaksma & Roos Architecten and Mecanoo for the scheme’s interior design. The municipality bought the site in 2005 with the aim of flattening it and developing it into huge new blocks, taking advantage of the land’s desirable proximity to the station. But, after the financial downturn of 2008, the city ‘started to value these kinds of [existing] buildings,’ says van der Heijden. When eventually it was brought on board, Civic already knew the area well, having drawn up plans for an ‘urban water zone’ there in 2013. But, being a tiny practice at the project’s conception, it needed to team up with well-known studios to be able to compete against larger Dutch offices for the redevelopment. A Contemplative CalmInside, as with the Cobbenhagen building, the fixtures and furniture are intrinsic parts of the design.
