As part of the ”Kennismiddag ontwerpend onderzoek Brabant”, Anne Loes Nillesen presented the design research ‘Sea Clay Area’. In this study, we explore various possible development directions for the North-Brabant area at the transition between the Delta and the High Sandy Soils. Based on three ‘basic approaches’ from the water and soil system (controllability, robustness and adapting land use), we explore the linking opportunities with other spatial transition tasks.
Bringing back a robust stream and creek landscape seems to offer many opportunities for water and soil, as well as for the spatial challenges. The question is how to initiate such a transition. The acquisition of land (step by step) over time for such a robust system requires a large investment and is not necessarily in line with the design of area processes.
