Art made during Giro d’Italia
During my trip in the summer of 2006, I made some various drawings and paintings in my blackbook. The jugendstil of Vienna, the Renaissance of Firenze and the streetart of Berlin< resulted in good food for creative thoughts, especially at Lago di Garda.

[EEA] Erick van Egeraat associated architects is a European architectural office that represents an innovative and challenging approach to high quality architecture. Located in Rotterdam, London, Budapest, Moscow and Prague, EEA has a permanent staff of 150 employees working on a range of international projects of the highest possible level.

Glass construction
Installation build as a presentation tool for my thesis. This construction uses space, light and form, as this are the elements of architecture. Behind the glass I”ve placed my thesis, printed on large transparent sheets. The reason I build this piece was that I wanted to do more with the creative environment during my intern at EEA than “just to build a website”. So I did. The original idea, controlling a built in TFT screen with a stone, didn”t make it due to the costs.

Emotie and User Interfaces
When I started brainstorming regarding the subject of my thesis, I found out that I was interested in the so called cultural interface. I had just finished Lev Manovich “The language of New Media” and was pretty astonished by him. So I started reading more and more. After a few weeks, the subject slowly moved into the direction of user convenience, a selfmade term which covers the fact that there should be some kind of convenience, an affect when using an interface.

Papers/Research
Following the course mediatheory opened up my eyes and made me realise a theoretical and philosophical approach towards new media is most certainly an aspect I like of interaction design. In this category you”ll find 3 pdf’’s: The first one is a paper in which I research the possibilities of a threedimensional graphical user interface. The second one is an proposal for using interactive avatars in the CBS forum. Last but not least, a paper and proposal for using digital paper as medium tool.
