atom03:Site
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 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, the site seems to be connected with its surroundings
by traffic noise, and although experientially the isolation quality is enjoyed by a few, it is lacking a programmatic definition to keep the (new) visitor
interested and involved.

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 this deformations, spaces with unique characteristics will be generated at ground and underground level.
