Mapping the city in terms of traffic, history, green spaces and built area has provided a larger picture of the fabric in which the location is set; it exists between two systems, the TU campus and residential area. It is crucial to know the current actors in the area to make a decision on the importance of possible activities of various actors. This has been further analysed in the [[atom06:Network#Map_users_activities| network analyses]] as the mapping of user activities.

The park paths' layout is protected. Keeping the layout but extending the greenery and pedestrian area, serves best the needs for connecting the site to immediate surroundings.
  
−
File:Atom6 option0a.jpg|'''Option 1''' is to leave the boundaries as they are and work within the existing site. This means that the roads are there as a barrier.
+
Open water needs to be added for reasons of water security (flooding) and ecology (bats, wasteland ecologies). Water is also a natural entry barrier.
  
−
File:Atom6 option1a.jpg|'''Option 2''' is to get rid of the Mijnbouwstraat and extend the park to the Botanical gardens and the Science Center. This will allow for functions that relate to the Science center to be effectively connected and creates the possibility for us to connect to the Botanical gardens, for which they already have a path leading to the Plantsoen.
+
Re-routing the highly trafficked roads removes the site from isolation and returns the park to work as a connecting entity between the Science Center and the faculty of architecture.

−
File:Atom6 option2a.jpg|'''Option 3''' is to make the Julianalaan in front of the faculty of Architecture all park so the school connects better with the park and can really explore it's potential and connect with it for a new extension for it's need for space. The Botanical gardens and the Science Center will get even more traffic because of the 2-way traffic.
+
Park is not used or known. Extending the hidden park to a city park serves the needs of residents and TU campus visitors.
  
−
File:Atom6 option3a.jpg|'''Option 4''' is to only close off part of the Julianalaan, creating only part of the Mijnbouwstraat 2-way traffic, as per plans from the city council and creating a park that partly extends to the faculty of architecture.  
+
A large campus park will work towards creating an image of TU Delft as a significant world class university and work as a gateway for visitors and as a place to relax for personnel and students alike.

File:Atom6 option4a.jpg|'''Option 5''' is the 'radial' one where we close off both the Mijnbouwstraat and Julianalaan, redirecting traffic via the Zuidplantsoen behind the faculty of Architecture. This will create a space where the Science Center, the Botanical gardens, the faculty of Architecture and the roads beside the student housing at Michiel de Ruyterweg are bonded as one to create a large green space that (along with the botanical gardens) stretches all the way to the river de Schie. This would create a large usable park all involved parties, getting rid of the busy traffic and bond. Plus creating a green route for land traveling animals to get from the Schie to the cemetery and further.

File:Option 5a.jpg|'''Option 6''' is the 'radical extreme' where we divert the traffic around the burial grounds via the main library and Aula. This one big green space would be a main focal point and park for the whole area. Parking is solved by underground parking or 'closed stacked parking' at certain points. Behind the Science Center, DUWO is already planning on building one, with the help of the Science Center. This could also be done at Bouwkunde to improve the connection with all the green. We really need to also consider the house at the point of the current park at the Poortlandplein as it blocks the entrance to the park. In some way this could also be a plus, creating an enclave.

Summary of analysis flow

Objective

Analyses to form an understanding of the physical constraints and possibilities of the location on various scales

Subjective

Analyses not solely based on raw objective figures, they are a perspective on how the different work and are connected.

Interviews

To create an initial starting point for the design intervention, we need to form a understanding of the actors and their networks relating to our site. At first we conducted interviews on the site and within identified main stakeholders.

Network

Based on the interviews and research of plans and actors for the area we identified a body of intermediators (wikipedia link to the actor-network-theory), this type of analyzing data helped to organize the layers of information.

Analyzing activities per usergroup at different times and using Wikipedia and Twitter as sources of virtual data on existing communities.


Objective analyses

Gathered data

Gathered data

Mapping the city in terms of traffic, history, green spaces and built area has provided a larger picture of the fabric in which the location is set; it exists between two systems, the TU campus and residential area. It is crucial to know the current actors in the area to make a decision on the importance of possible activities of various actors. This has been further analysed in the network analyses as the mapping of user activities.

Conclusion

The site, De Vries van Heijstplantsoen, is an in-between space among two systems, the city system and the TU system.

It has strict and impermeable borders, and it blocks the pedestrian movement on the location.

The park paths' layout is protected. Keeping the layout but extending the greenery and pedestrian area, serves best the needs for connecting the site to immediate surroundings.

Open water needs to be added for reasons of water security (flooding) and ecology (bats, wasteland ecologies). Water is also a natural entry barrier.

Re-routing the highly trafficked roads removes the site from isolation and returns the park to work as a connecting entity between the Science Center and the faculty of architecture.

Conclusion

Park is not used or known. Extending the hidden park to a city park serves the needs of residents and TU campus visitors.

A large campus park will work towards creating an image of TU Delft as a significant world class university and work as a gateway for visitors and as a place to relax for personnel and students alike.

Interviews

Students & Teachers

Students live in the area and spend a lot of time next to or around the site during the week.

  • nobody uses the space
  • would be a good place to meet, different from the (boring) standard of the TU everywhere else
  • has a lot of potential

Conclusions

There is a desire that these two systems get more integrated and start to actively communicate and interact to create a better whole.

The interviews back up the initial striving for a city park from several perspectives.

The campus lacks a place for recreational activities, between lessons and outside of curricula.

Network analyses

Actor act sum up copia.jpg

After the objective analyses and the subjective analyses, the goal is to gather information with the theoretical model (the actor-network-theory) in mind.

The result of these analyses are an understanding of how the current networks are related and function.

From these findings the concept of connections and redistribution of the networks has been set


The models of activities per usergroup are set up and show that there are matching activities per usergroup for the possibility for a better interaction on our location.

Conclusion

  • Show that the two systems do not cooperate or interact on a physical level very well, while on a virtual level there are some connections.
  • The mapping of activities show that there are several matches to increase interaction between various user groups
