Concept

Our design exploration started with a question:

How can a site sustain activity 24/7?

A website works 24/7 and is continuously evolving; e.g. a wiki page where the user is free to add content and to make it public worldwide.

By taking the concept of hyperspace we propose a site which will permit a widespread and ever changing spectrum of activities throughout the whole of the day.
Thus the site will be continuously changing and allowing the interweaving of human interaction (a lecture hall, next to a performance space next to individual study-rooms, etc).

Jane Jacobs

Where

Why

The site is hardly visited by people. This is our thesis. By using stop-motion animation gathered from the BK-city tower to capture the crucial moments of the week we will confirm our suspicion and analyze the way in which the outside traffic affects the site. We suspect the traffic to be an untapped source for energy.

Design challenge

When there is no activity going on there is no building. In music silence is just as effective as sound; one might say that the absence of silence implies the absence of dynamics.

Interaction of activities

The following charts show possible interaction-scenarios during weekdays and weekends.

For proofing this scenarios, it is planned to create a questionary, which shows a scheduling demand of activities on the site.

• 

  A possible time schedule, during the week.

• 

  Interaction of activities, during the week.

• 

  A possible time schedule, during the weekend.

• 

  Interaction of activities, during the weekend.

Support

Sponsor

The sponsor will be TU Delft

User

The user is the client. He has the options of choosing his desired activity and size of the space required by a system of online booking. Therefore the site will continuously "pay for itself" and generate profit.
