PHASE 1 - DESIGN BRIEF
CONTEXT
Site
Site is located between the TU Delft Campus and the Old Town. see photos, maps, neighbours
We analized zoningplans from the municipality of Delft. We analized the site in variours scales see more
CONCLUSION
The zoning plan describes the need for the site to become the link between the city and the campus. To achieve that there is a need for the site to become more than its location per se promises. The link between the city and campus has to have a wider public meaning, the site has to start interrupting the local light-traffic flows to achieve needed critical mass. The lacking of clear character must be replaced with evolving identity. It has to be strongly differentiating and not counting on program that might change rapidly. To clear the problems of invisibility the site needs to become closely tied to it neighbours. To attract the functions that will improve the site's relevance in the scale of Delft, the site needs to be contitioned for spatial affordance.
Validators
USERS
mainly students
CLIENTS
Our clients has to fit to this profile:
-target group: students
-changing program with in a fixed concept for the spatial setting
-Connected to Delft. To the city center whether the campus with its Technical University
EXPERTS
validators of our design The experts are the people who are
-really into the topic:
identity ---->
embodied architecture----> spatial affordance
public space--->
-translate certain data into sounds and visuals ----> Archive interviews
CONCLUSION
The users (mostly students) are consuming the public space character. Through that they are becoming the customers for the clients, the users can be seen as the amplifiers of the programme. The second group are the clients (TU Delft, Science centre, Food caterer) of the programmed space (commercial functions, exhibition, showroom,...)
OLD VERSION OF CLIENTS:
CONCEPT
Challenge
Our design challenge is to create a site with evolving identity which serves the spatial affordance of certain activities in dynamically changing programmatic context.
Our statment is that the site with strong identity is attract users. By doing so the site can have a wider public relevance. This is crucial for becoming the link between campus and the city.
MISSING DIAGRAM updated design strategy... an update of the existing
Specialization
Site conditioning for identity. The site has to be conditioned to have a set of qualities that allow fixed character through desired activities. We are achieving these qualities through representational and spatial means. Our challenge is to manipulate the with the memory of the users to amplify activities.
Project
Our Project is about the gradience between the private and public. The design effort lies in the transition space space between the streetscape and the buildings. This concept creates the contrast between flexible buildings and the identity holding interface landscape.
We are open for collaboration with other atoms in terms of the design of private functions (buildings), also in terms of the design of soundscapes and the need of programme.

INTERVENTION
Memory Machine
The memory machine is a tactical tool to improve the site identity. It replay 'translated' moments according to the needed mood at every moment. The replayed moments are collected date from the users who are using the site. the translation is done by a kind of filter what translate the monents into sounds and visuals. The replaying of is a representation in space what will create a different 'mood'.
Thereby the representation is related/adjunct to time.
The time of replay will influences the experiences of the users.
This is controlled by the occupation of the site.
Transition space
The Border between the private and the public gives us a clear research theme on existing typologies. The becoming from private to public can (the levels and the sizes of the transition spaces) can be seen as parameters for the spatial affordance of desired program. The parametric model will be dealing with the measure of the void in terms of the porosity, transparency and permeability.

Process strategy
The first step of the process is the creation of the site plan with the renewed traffic scheme. According to that the borderlines of the private and public space will be proposed. The main effort of the work is the public and private interface design in holdinging the identity . The interface is created through spatial needs of client profiles (transition space), the interface embodys the representational means (the memory machine)
