Analyses to form an understanding of the physical constraints and possibilities of the location on various scales
Analyses not solely based on raw existing objective figures, it is our perspective on how the different work and are connected.
To create an initial starting point for the design intervention, we need to form a understanding of the actors and their networks relating to our site. At first we conducted interviews on the site and within identified main stakeholders.
Based on the interviews and research on plans for the area we identified a body of intermediators, on whose network we want to take a closer look.
We desided to use twitter(link) as a source of data, since many of the intermediators seem to have an active presentation in there. We want to explore the extent it is possible to actually utilise the attributes, and avatar network that the actors have already formed.

A man in the park - Harry Koerts
- there is no connection between the residents and the TU
- the park is a green enclave in the city, but nobody uses it as it's hidden between busy roads
- in the evenings the park is unsafe

Director of the Science Center - Michael van der Meer
- the busy Mijnbouwstraat is a real hindrance to the public
- they feel separated from the TU because of the busy roads and the not-used park, they want to become ONE whole

Network Analysis
Map users activities
editable user groups and their activities and needs - table
on the basis of this table possible activities can be identified for the various users surrounding out site.
Activities of the user groups
The following diagrams illustrate the current activities of our potential users and their relationship/connections with each other.
On the second diagram, we introduced possible programs of the site to see how these occupations could be connected and redistributed on and beyond our location.
Map city attractor points
mapping the busy areas in Delft during the daytime throughout the week and the weekend shows us where there are good connection points for the possible metastasis objects to attract attention and real time connect to our center platform
Network visualization of the Delft area trough Twitter
This diagrams hightlights the minimalistic existance of a virtual network around the site.
Network visualisations
Ego centric visualisations
Multiple centers
Conclusions
The analysis reveals that our site is an in-between space among two system that don't cooperate and interact: City system - Tu system. Our desire is that these two systems get more integrated and start to actively communicate and interact. We and some of the residents we interviewed feel this is needed to make the city unified again.
