My research explores urban daily life and environmental dynamics through the perspective of rhythms, drawing from architecture, urban studies and cultural sociology. Working with residents, community organisations and municipalities, I develop concepts and methods to establish rhythm analysis as a participatory, interdisciplinary and context-sensitive framework for urban research and practice.

Current research projects

Currently, I am investigating rhythm analysis in relation to socially inclusive climate adaptation in the Tuindorp Oostzaan neighbourhood in Amsterdam Noord as part of the Ground for Wellbeing project. The research investigates new approaches to tackle the issues and tensions in the neighbourhood due to climate change and ongoing urban development. In this context, I examine the interplay between socio-spatial patterns, ecological cycles, and institutional processes to provide deeper insights into how these rhythms can be better aligned, informing urban design and policymaking interventions in the neighbourhood.
