"HOW CAN A SITE SUSTAIN ACTIVITY 24/7 ?"
THE SITE
Problems:
- The site is devoid of human activity.
- There is no landscaping or landscaping attributes (e.g. lamps, benches).
- The lush green border around the site works like a fence during summer, it blocks the view inward and inhibits human presence.
- The site is a vacuum in an area full of program.
CONCEPT STATEMENT
"...On successful city streets, people must appear at different times...or else parks will be used only sporadically...and this simplification of use - meaning fewer users, with fewer different purposes and destinations at hand - feeds upon itself...a kind of unbuilding, or running-down process is set in motion...the infusion would obviously have to result in the presence of maximum numbers of persons at the times when the district needs them most for time balance..."
This is a collage from Jacobs' The Death and Life of Great American Cities . The book promotes an almost volatile, effervescent city life of streets lined with mixed-uses that create activity at different times in the day which leads to a constant presence of users / inhabitants. All this makes for a diverse and vital city life where strangers step out of their individuality and participate in the public life.
The concept - proposal builds upon this.

DESIGN CHALLENGE
To extend the notion of an online social community by providing a user-customizable space that will enhance that community (through joining and participating in activities public or private). Thus the concept of Spacebook: (where) everybody can see the activities on the site, the users can join activities that are or will be taking place, create their new activities and (physically) link them with other activities. A new activity hive is born.
01: ONLINE QUESTIONNAIRE
An online questionnaire has been created. Its goal is to establish if there is user-demand on the site, what the users want and when they want to do it.
Having this information helps create an estimate on the spread of activities throughout the day.
02: INTERFACE FLOW CHART
The are future plans of making Spacebook a part of Facebook so to tap into the already gigantic user database.
'Interface Diagram'
'User - Interface'
Spacebook - Interface, part of Facebook.
Spacebook - Interface, part of Facebook.
Scenario of user demands.
Spatial result of scenario.

03: PHYSICAL SITE SYSTEM:
'Bubble System'
1. A grid of points drive a network of inflatable "bubbles" linked together by a network of valves.
2. The bubbles hold the roof & floor system.
3. One of the point-bubble inflates. The local bubbles deflate.
4. Roof has desired height. Roof structural nodes lock into place. Bubbles equalize and support the elastic floor.
5. Possible section of created "site". Various open / closed spaces for activities.
6. Axonometric result.
'Interaction of activities'
Site topography & interaction of activities.
Iteration 2.
The floor becomes the furniture.
Interior space result.

USERS
The users are anyone who has an internet connection and can physically access the site.
EXPERTS
Interfaces: Walter Aprile & Aadjan van der Helm
Structures: Michela Turrin & Andrew Borgart
Algorithms: Andrei Stoiculescu & Sven Hagemann
SUSTAINABILITY
We suspect the traffic around the site to be an untapped source for energy.

Contacts have been made with Karel Luyben, Dick van den Berg and Anja Stokkers to discuss the proposal and form a partnership with TU Delft.
Upon the discussion with Karel Luyben Wytze Patijin has been contacted.
