WIM STURRIS
For me its a great honor to be on this
international stage, and that I have the
opportunity to present for this interesting
audience my vision about the flexible
construction system for house building. I would
like to thank the University of Twente and Dr.
Elma Durmisevic for giving me this
opportunity. During the last 2 years that I work
with Elma in the IDF-platform, she was inspiring
and helpful. Elma knows how to connect theory
and the actual reality of industries. She gave me
new visions on the subject Life cycle Design of
Buildings, Systems and Materials. Many thanks
for this!

First international performance
In 1985 I had my first international performance,
at that time I was a carpenter. I met the former
crown princess Michiko and her husband Akihito
during the 28th international vocational
training competition.
Now, 23 year later, Im standing in front of you,
an audience no less important!

Looking back

TRANFORMATION WATERTOWER
SHOPPINGCENTRE. HOTEL, RESTAURANT
6
The watertower was no longer being used for
waterdistribution. The function of this tower is
no longer relevant. However, the frame is still
in good condition. What to do?
7
The water tower is completely stripped, the
transformation is started!
8
The first fase of the transformation, the
conversion, is completed
9
The 17 meters high dome, with a profile of 25
meters and a weight of 310.000 kg, has to be
lifted to a height of 54 meters Now the
extraordinary task can begin
10
The dome is ready to be lifted on to the former
water-tank
11
And there it goes! The dome will be used as a
rotating restaurant!
12
During the build Van Dijk Groep won an
innovation price for the most innovative way of
transforming this tower
13
The dome slides over the water-tank, witch was a
very precise job
14
The phenomenal result, a complete transformation!

Top view, foundation principles
Standardized foundation structure has no relation
with the width of the houses
19
VARIABLE
In the design faze, width of the house can vary
from one size to other

GARDEN
LIVING
STREET
Load bearing structure provides flexibility
regarding the orientation and the size of the
house
21
HEART, COMPONENT THAT ORGANISES THE DISTRIBUTION
OF INSTALLATION AND RESIDENTS. At the same time
the Heart ( made of concrete) provides the
stability of the house.
22
The system provides separation between the load
bearing construction and installation services
through the interface between the heart hollow
floor system.
23
Provisions in the load bearing wall ( voids
filled with light material) for the future
transformation.
