user groups and their activities and needs - table
The theory of the user groups and their needs / activities lies in a greater context of space.
This space has still to be identified. As the initial assignment regards only the Vries van Heystplantsoen, earlier plans from the city of Delft (see for example option #4) show intention of re-routing traffic.
option 1 is to leave the boundaries as they are and work within the existing site. This means that the roads are there as a barrier...
option 2 is to get rid of the Mijnbouwstraat and extend the park to the Botanical gardens and the Science Center. This will allow for functions that relate to the Science center to be effectively connected and creates the possibility for us to connect to the Botanical gardens, for which they already have a path leading to the Plantsoen.
option 3 is to make the Julianalaan in front of the faculty of Architecture all park so the school connects better with the park and can really explore it's potential and connect with it for a new extension for it's need for space. The Botanical gardens and the Science Center will get even more traffic because of the 2-way traffic.
option 4 is to only close off part of the Julianalaan, creating only part of the Mijnbouwstraat 2-way traffic, as per plans from the city council and creating a park that partly extends to the faculty of architecture.
development plan TU north, 2004
option 5 is the 'radial' one where we close off both the Mijnbouwstraat and Julianalaan, redirecting traffic via the Zuidplantsoen behind the faculty of Architecture. This will create a space where the Science Center, the Botanical gardens, the faculty of Architecture and the roads beside the student housing at Michiel de Ruyterweg are bonded as one to create a large green space that (along with the botanical gardens) stretches all the way to the river de Schie. This would create a large usable park all involved parties, getting rid of the busy traffic and bond. Plus creating a green route for land traveling animals to get from the Schie to the cemetery and further.
