Design - Leerdam, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands
BLAD, v.21. To cut peat.Ib.:To b[lad] de wideks, tabu-expr., sea-expr., = to fla de mør ["moor"].2. To reap; to cut heather for thatching.Sh. 1908 Jak. (1928):"To blad de heddrek [‘heather']," for what is common called "to strike de tekk [thatch]." The expertise of BLAD lies in spatial design, conceptual approach and landscape research. BLAD is a dedicated team of landscape architect from completely different landscapes. In their approach, BLAD utilises factual analysis methods embedded in the Dutch design method and combines it with the conceptual and holistic approach from Scotland. Using their backgrounds and clear conceptual approach, forms the basis to formulate strategic yet (site) specific interventions. As BLAD, we work from three unique backgrounds, Fiona is from Scotland and utilises the Scottish holistic methodology in her designs. She approaches design through understanding of landscape processes, which although not always visible, are a starting point for a poetic and holistic approach. Andrew was born in Canada and grew up in the coastal region of the Netherlands. Inspired by nature and the contrast that creates when combined with architectural interventions. Frank, born and raised in the river delta of the Netherlands, utilises his background with a more methodical and analytical approach towards design. Looking to the underlying landscape, how it adapts and how this can be reflected in design. Our collaboration, based upon our layered stories, creates a unique combination coupled with strong graphics and visual story telling.
