The De Vries van Heystplantsoen site has a strong natural character. Unlike its surroundings, it is not artificial and is a rare and powerful urban typology in Delft. It is an isolated site and its atom03: introversion is stressed by the plantation barrier on the periphery. Although there are a variety of entrances, they do not seem to be well defined, therefore access is limited and seems to only be used by locals as a transitional space. Once inside we experienced a variety of different places with a distinctive character. We atom03:categorized these places.

Problem By means of atomo03: personal observation and atom03: interviews we realized that atom03: noise mostly caused by traffic is affecting the site. The site is lacking a programmatic definition which keeps the visitors interested and involved.

atom03: about the site ------------------------------------------ atom03: images ------------------------------- atom03: analysis ----------------------------------- atom03: conclusion

As the stingray redirects water (medium) to achieve motion, our project will simulate this dynamic behaviour by redirecting air (medium) as a manipulative element of sound levels. This is possible by simulating 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.

We first have to define which areas are problematic regarding the sound levels. Therefore we are creating a questionnaire. The atom03:questionnaire will have 1 main question about disturbance and comfort. People have to answer this question at keypoints of the site. The results will help to identify the problematic areas of the site which need manipulation.
