It explores the relationship between landscape, architecture, and cycles of production. An old wine barrel was converted into a camera obscura, producing long-exposure images of the surrounding landscape and architecture. Developed in a temporary darkroom within the wine cellar, the photographs were compiled into a hand stitched publication — a material reflection on time and place. The project was realised in collaboration with designer Olivier de Gruijter and Mas Palou (2026). https://giannabottema.com/Adaptive-Reuse-of-Housing-in-Japan-copy Sat, 11 Apr 2026 11:55:27 +0000 giannabottema https://giannabottema.com/Adaptive-Reuse-of-Housing-in-Japan-copy <img width="1920" height="1920" width_o="1920" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/23c4c1151f5f16c9afc4395f93afbb052e8cbddff3d56fa70dd2bcc3adfe1db0/Collage.jpg" data-mid="247069589" border="0" data-scale="60" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/23c4c1151f5f16c9afc4395f93afbb052e8cbddff3d56fa70dd2bcc3adfe1db0/Collage.jpg" /> <img width="1801" height="1125" width_o="1801" height_o="1125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/83a26c8f2502313cb65dd0c5387e15c4ee3c6bb7d8e8bac11c6cc5ef8cbf23a6/Gianna-Bottema-Adaptive-Reuse_01.jpg" data-mid="247069588" border="0" data-scale="72" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/83a26c8f2502313cb65dd0c5387e15c4ee3c6bb7d8e8bac11c6cc5ef8cbf23a6/Gianna-Bottema-Adaptive-Reuse_01.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="1920" width_o="1440" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ff1ce754c689016b117c982e563acac7edd1d39140c59d6eb4a251b7b89ba708/IMG_0669.jpg" data-mid="247069596" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ff1ce754c689016b117c982e563acac7edd1d39140c59d6eb4a251b7b89ba708/IMG_0669.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1142" width_o="1920" height_o="1142" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d7a5ecca33eed4ee162927d93ba897498b3cf7e7d9989850ba75b7ba0498c7b2/DSC_0926.jpg" data-mid="247069590" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d7a5ecca33eed4ee162927d93ba897498b3cf7e7d9989850ba75b7ba0498c7b2/DSC_0926.jpg" /> <img width="2473" height="1769" width_o="2473" height_o="1769" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f8226118300ed5ae39bc5db55e87f31d4ea8a4d02cea3dd8d50f2a1308ceb7ca/Drawings-GBOTTEMA.jpg" data-mid="247069599" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f8226118300ed5ae39bc5db55e87f31d4ea8a4d02cea3dd8d50f2a1308ceb7ca/Drawings-GBOTTEMA.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1440" width_o="1920" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/244fffb34582958a09c9215628a100be2db8de72af5d3724ca081326566d070d/IMG_9498.jpg" data-mid="247069591" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/244fffb34582958a09c9215628a100be2db8de72af5d3724ca081326566d070d/IMG_9498.jpg" /> <img width="1366" height="1080" width_o="1366" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d7ff12e3207ccd06d0adfa3c2288ca41b7d49a0dde11ccdec8ae1f233d62ce82/Takeshi-Sketch.jpg" data-mid="247069592" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d7ff12e3207ccd06d0adfa3c2288ca41b7d49a0dde11ccdec8ae1f233d62ce82/Takeshi-Sketch.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="1920" width_o="1440" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/76b399a79ae8f044ab14d53551af37772ee6d2878e175adb518d3ac5222c2c7a/Workshop.jpg" data-mid="247069600" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/76b399a79ae8f044ab14d53551af37772ee6d2878e175adb518d3ac5222c2c7a/Workshop.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="1740" width_o="1440" height_o="1740" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1e9f437c6f265beac11c413c5a60532b0ecefad30cc8ca20dfad46078e991e78/IMG_0683.jpg" data-mid="247069593" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1e9f437c6f265beac11c413c5a60532b0ecefad30cc8ca20dfad46078e991e78/IMG_0683.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1440" width_o="1920" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b1196302a5b5073b19fe42860f22897f90a402a00a8ad9ab6774b38c507f87ba/IMG_0675.jpg" data-mid="247069597" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b1196302a5b5073b19fe42860f22897f90a402a00a8ad9ab6774b38c507f87ba/IMG_0675.jpg" /> Adaptive (Re)use of Housing in JapanArchitect in Residence, Space Department Nara, Japan During a period of two months, the residence Space Department Nara formed a platform to collectively draw, reflect and discuss the potential of adaptive reuse as a strategy to redesign existing neighborhoods in Japan. With a rising ageing population and the global climate crisis, the existing housing stock has become increasingly important.This project challenges mass-produced housing by drawing inspiration from recent case-study projects in Japan that argue for adaptive reuse of ordinary dwelling environments. Spaces that weren’t designed to be beautiful, but become meaningful through use and the layering of space, objects and narratives.

The project forms a critique on housing programmes focussed on single-family life, and identifies key concepts that today still influence design, such as the public-private divide, gender identity and sexual citizenship. The book proposes feminist design principles as a guideline to differentiate, transform and rethink post-war architecture. The publication is the result of a two year research funded by Stimuleringsfonds / Creative Fund NL (2021/2023).&nbsp;Exhibition in Arcam Amsterdam (June 2023). https://giannabottema.com/Filmpje Wed, 22 Feb 2023 12:16:58 +0000 giannabottema https://giannabottema.com/Filmpje https://giannabottema.com/Reclaimed-Amsterdam-2040 Thu, 07 Nov 2019 13:37:10 +0000 giannabottema https://giannabottema.com/Reclaimed-Amsterdam-2040 <img width="3306" height="3443" width_o="3306" height_o="3443" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/153de5b6df63096edbe8e70f39def78b2a565350a242d884c0c7a04e458b9ce8/Map-Amsterdam-Verenigingen-lres.jpg" data-mid="167140804" border="0" data-scale="59" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/153de5b6df63096edbe8e70f39def78b2a565350a242d884c0c7a04e458b9ce8/Map-Amsterdam-Verenigingen-lres.jpg" /> <img width="2339" height="2349" width_o="2339" height_o="2349" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ca04163d73d472a5c3467508877ef78e0487d5b1753cde9c90328ef93daf035e/210301_Case-study-houses-low.jpg" data-mid="167138056" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ca04163d73d472a5c3467508877ef78e0487d5b1753cde9c90328ef93daf035e/210301_Case-study-houses-low.jpg" /> <img width="4678" height="3309" width_o="4678" height_o="3309" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d410f1e63a8aac78c492f65a119527a3215e9b786690aea5e5a3fc6a4b264de2/210317Case-study-Gevels-02.png" data-mid="167139484" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d410f1e63a8aac78c492f65a119527a3215e9b786690aea5e5a3fc6a4b264de2/210317Case-study-Gevels-02.png" /> <img width="3000" height="2117" width_o="3000" height_o="2117" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c529b645a4c588520813db66c56833f7b273ae75ccbe60d1cb7e4989bf1830ad/221203-collage-03-.jpg" data-mid="167138066" border="0" data-scale="62" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c529b645a4c588520813db66c56833f7b273ae75ccbe60d1cb7e4989bf1830ad/221203-collage-03-.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2121" width_o="3000" height_o="2121" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/07833db5523d07895ed973cac1e859f4ad9ea827d9dc005bb3b65c6dd6bece75/221205-collage-01.jpg" data-mid="167138067" border="0" data-scale="88" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/07833db5523d07895ed973cac1e859f4ad9ea827d9dc005bb3b65c6dd6bece75/221205-collage-01.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2121" width_o="3000" height_o="2121" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2b6fbea548527191d0d79ef24753d86535f2d1d0ba853414974603da78516852/221205-Collage-02.jpg" data-mid="167138068" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2b6fbea548527191d0d79ef24753d86535f2d1d0ba853414974603da78516852/221205-Collage-02.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2121" width_o="3000" height_o="2121" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/10a559ff6c80e6746293372809178b6a53292e630b7637a03a99f29a5cdda310/221205-collage-4.jpg" data-mid="167138069" border="0" data-scale="68" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/10a559ff6c80e6746293372809178b6a53292e630b7637a03a99f29a5cdda310/221205-collage-4.jpg" /> <img width="1541" height="2134" width_o="1541" height_o="2134" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/459530d4bebdd62e76ada70b0fa706e372a4683fa26e3877af794fa87b86732d/01_150.jpg" data-mid="56430624" border="0" data-scale="65" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/459530d4bebdd62e76ada70b0fa706e372a4683fa26e3877af794fa87b86732d/01_150.jpg" /> <img width="1883" height="1525" width_o="1883" height_o="1525" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9f06402651b5b812dacd24220ea873dbfe51e58c0af3007b401348c4e45e0baa/03_3-150.jpg" data-mid="56430626" border="0" data-scale="65" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9f06402651b5b812dacd24220ea873dbfe51e58c0af3007b401348c4e45e0baa/03_3-150.jpg" /> Reclaimed Amsterdam 2040Spatial Protocols for Cooperative Construction The research project and publication provides a historical and typological analysis of cooperative housing projects in Amsterdam (1880-1930) and argues to challenge the systems and instruments that currently give shape to cooperative projects in Amsterdam. Through archival research, plan&nbsp;analysis and collages the project deconstructs the design idea’s and housing protocols that enabled collective forms of construction and provides an insight into how spatial design can shape new alliances between municipalities, housing corporations and cooperatives. &nbsp; Honourable mention Prix de Rome 2022&nbsp; Publication Arcam Amsterdam 2022

The dissertation investigates the typological transformation of elderly housing into decentralised models of ‘care in place’ in the district.&nbsp;Currently, community-led networks such as Buurtzorg, District Care, and care cooperatives are emerging in the Netherlands in an attempt by the government to encourage individual agency and collectivise care responsibility.

Through archival research and comparative drawing analysis, it shows how legislation and construction methods standardised Georgian terraced housing. A drawn genealogy of architectural elements—from large townhouses to optimised workers’ housing—reveals how the standardisation of materials and labour reconfigured the social and spatial dynamics of domestic life.

It argues that incremental housing provides a framework for the gradual extension and transformation of the house over time, while simultaneously relying on self-built processes that shift both productive and domestic labour onto residents. As an urban model, it enables large-scale development, reduces direct state involvement in affordable housing, and secures property value and fictitious capital through mortgage systems. Although widely criticised, incremental housing remains embedded in contemporary United Nations strategies, continuing to standardise land distribution on a global scale.&nbsp;Research project Taught MPhil Projective Cities (2018)&nbsp;Architectural Association London.
