Problem
By means of atom03: personal observation and atom03: interviews ,we realized that atom03: noise,caused mostly by traffic, is affecting the site. It is also obvious that the park is lacking programmatic definition, the atom03: entrances are uninviting and are not atom03: strategically placed. This results in many inhabitants, students and staff refraining from visiting the park.
Step 1 We first have to define which areas are problematic regarding the sound levels and their effect on comfort levels. In order to obtain these results, we are doing a comfort/disturbance survey and a more precise sound data analysis. The atom03:questionnaire will have 1 main question about disturbance and comfort. People have to answer this question at 8 keypoints of the site. The results will help identify the problematic areas of the site which need manipulation.
Secondly, with the help of a TU Delft acoustics expert we will measure sound levels for a week, in specific time periods at the same 8 points.
Step 2
After having both the qualitative and quantitative results, we will be able to cross reference them have a link sound to spatial conditions, then proceed to our next step.
Step 3
As the stingray redirects water (medium) to achieve motion, our project will simulate this movement behaviour by redirecting air (medium) as a manipulative element of sound levels. This is possible by undulations on the surface of the ground controlling air/sound paths.
As a reaction to these deformations, spaces with unique characteristics will be generated at ground and underground level; these spaces will be categorized from static / comfortable / permanent to dynamic / disturbing / temporary with intermediate states as transitional spaces.
