project F:Archivio
The world has become a nomadic network enabling information and knowledge sharing – regardless of place and time. Our site is an example of a hole in the network. It is disconnected from the activities and the actors around it. It does not exist in virtual sense either.
Our intervention facilitates the redistribution of existing physical and virtual networks of different scales and kinds. The intervention intermediates the physical interaction and permits the actors to extend into the virtual social network in real-time and beyond our location.

Concept
Our idea is to facilitate redistribution of existing physical and virtual networks connecting various actors as a more coherent whole in real-time on our site and beyond our location.
By arranging common activities as intermediates to facilitate mixing of different user groups that are currently not well connected we plan to create a more coherent whole.
We are redistributing the action of the network by finding activities that work as attractors. The new activities work as intermators creating new connections in the network.
1. current situation where various user groups are not connected
2. intervention where new actors spark attraction in function and use to merge these networks
3. at first this will lead to a more coherent local network where people connect in a way they did not do before, merging the residents and the TU
4. by connecting the physical and virtual this can lead to a spreading beyond our location and increase in network activity with our site as the heart of the network
Set Up
As the residents association have suggested(and the municipality partially propose as well) Delft needs another urban park.
We provide this in that the two main roads are re-routed behind the architecture faculty, creating one large park for TU Noord and its residents.
This will be an attraction point to the are, mixing residents with students and teachers and even visitors from out of town. The botanical gardens and the Science Center can extend here. Plants and trees are labeled and the Science Center can have larger installations with water for example, showing how the Dutch deal with water.
By adding functions, this attraction is hyped and gets more focused, as getting people in the same place does not always cause interaction.
A morphing café - interactive library - kiosk
people interact with information and people. It permeates the entire space, inside and outside into the park in summer. It is s a function for anybody, it facilitates a relaxed atmosphere and casual interaction
game room
people interact with technology and other people. With the Xbox Connect, your body is the controller. Multiplayer games force interaction if only multiplayer games are provided. The games are projected on the building skin for a 3D experience. You need to invite people to play
exhibition area
People interact with technology and the TU. They learn from each other, get an interest. Students can also learn about what the rest of the TU does. This space overflows into the park where it connects with other installations.
general room
people interact with people. Here lectures can be given, people can watch a movie, have discussions or whatever people want or need from a bible study by the local church to a community information evening or a hangout space for youth.
validation
via scenario writing we set the scene for the outline and workings of our project validators
Also via interviews in the beginning we found out what the needs and desires are of residents, the city, and the students.
form findings
- interactive facade: projection related to the people inside. Visible on the outside so people can see what's going on.
