A Little Bit About Me

Hi, I'm Hanna! 

I'm an M.arch student at The University of Idaho located in Moscow, ID. I got my B.F.A at SCAD in Savannah, GA where i studied architecture and art history. Now that my thesis is fast approaching i have also taking an interest in urban design.

Now a little bit about me; i am an equestrian, a world traveler, a student, and a teacher. I moved to the US 5 years ago and am originally from The Netherlands but lived in the Caribbean for a while. I love what i do and one day hope to share it with the world!

Other than sharing written pieces from an urban design course i am taking i will also share research on interesting art history pieces on this blog as well as my own art & architecture pieces. I hope to one day have this blog evolve to also involve the three topics in reference to traveling.

This is not because of crime or persons in general it is because bad urban design has made streets feel isolating and uncomfortable. There is a theory that states that having an architectural visualization of public or private through doorways, walkways, frontyards, and signage (meaning private) and increa

Code, Urban Design, Place-making, and You

Code is part of everything, a code went into the program i am writing this blog with, there was a code that regulated the way the computer, chair, desk, and even apartment was made. There is a code that regulated how we are made a code in our DNA. Code can rule and regulate parts and pieces but mainly dictates how things relate to each other, context, and its surrounding. A general theme of this blog has been place, placelessness, and place-making because of my personal liking of Edward Relph's work. I see many parts of modern code come into place-making but one common debate topic i find even more interestingly integrated into this topic as both sides as well as its hybrid version all have Pro's and Con's to how they deal with the creation of place. I am speaking of Form Based Codes Vs. Traditional Zoning, i have singled out specific topics under this discussion that i will single out and discuss on its stance to place and/or placelessness. De-emphasizing use zoning V
