PHASE 1 - DESIGN BRIEF

CONTEXT

Site

EXISTING SITUATION

Site is located between the TU Delft Campus and the Old Town. see photos, maps, neighbours

ANALYSES

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 strong evolving identity that is 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.

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,...)

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.

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 between the streetscape and the buildings. This concept creates the contrast between flexible buildings and the identity holding interface landscape.

We are looking for collaboration with other atoms in the duilding design part.

INTERVENTION

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 bublic space will be proposed. The main effort of the work is located in the identity holding public and private interface design. The interface is created through the representational (the memory machine) and spatial means (transition space).

Memory Machine

The memory machine is a tactical tool to improve the local identity. This simple device can replay spatial situations to create the needed mood(abstract repetition) or to establish an interactive relationship with the users (personal repetition). The machine has recording and replaying devices (sound, visuals) to point out the virtual representation of wanted situation. The images can be also processed with certain filters to improve the identity of the client. The pictures can be repainted according to specific mood of event or missing mood of the moment. The filters are dealing with the colouring, contrasting, shuffling, sharpening, blurring and proportioning the reality towards emotion. The machine is collecting, processing and displaying data.

Transition space

The Border between the private and the public gives us a clear research theme on existing typologies. The generalization of those rules allow us to dive in the problem according to the level of the flexibility constraints. Those rules will give us several possibilities as an end result. According to the level of the programmatic instability it can be seen as total flexibility, a functional theme, a typology or even a specific function.
