*this is their first year of operation, and they do promote it, but are doing very well.

*there is a very broad and young support, mostly secondary school students interested in science

+
*the T.U. shop and information center moved from the Aula to the S.C.

+
*many T.U. meetings (staff and students) are held there because of good meeting rooms facilities

==a man in the park - Harry Koerts==
+
 
+
* he's there 3x a day, he sees about 5 people in the morning and afternoon, playing with their kids or walking their dog (there is a bent sign that says no dogs allowed, but nobody cares, and the people who are supposed to check it, parking guards, are not there because it's free parking in the area)
+
 
+
*he likes the silence there, as he can block out the noise of the traffic as he can't see it and enjoy the green
+
 
+
*we need to reroute the traffic of Julianalaan to go behind the architecture department over Zuidplantsoen
+
 
+
*on a sunny day there are a lot of students on the lawn
+
 
+
*not many people that live in the area use the park
+
 
+
*but the student residences will probably see this park as their garden
+
 
+
*in the evening, the North benches are used by a group to go drinking, the N.E. bench is the lovers bench, the S.E. bench is an empty one, as it is not surrounded by shrubs. The south bench is "the private one" with a lot of thick vegetation around it where couples do 'their thing', and the west bench is where they deal drugs...
+
 
+
*the botanical gardens would like to use the park as an extension, a public feature garden, their business card, as an inviting entry into the TU area, but the traffic doesn't allow for a good connection between the two
+
 
+
*there is a problem connecting the people of Delft with the students, as they're in their own world
+
 
+
*The people are almost 'affraid' to go into a university building, not knowing it is allowed
+
 
+
*along with this, the image of students isn't the best one, and people don't know how to relate to them
+
 
+
*it requires a change of attitude of the people, and a more inviting attitude of the TU
+
 
+
*the faculties and students have parties and have things going on. The rest of the city is kinda dead, especially the park. *there is one cultural/community center behind central station for the entirety of Delft... That means that there are no cultural incentives in the area in which the park is located
+
 
+
*there are really 2 cultures, students *rest of Delft
+
 
+
*the thick green around the park is a good thing, it creates a barrier, gives privacy, and keeps the noise and business out of the park, creating a sort of haven 'inside', away from the traffic. On the other hand, it is not inviting to come into the park as it makes it hard to see what's going on (good or bad)
+
 
+
*there is a good amount of parking at the architecture faculty, so there is plenty of parking for events in the evening in the park should there ever be one...
+
 
+
*the trees provide shelter for people, and the green is something everybody needs, it gives a serenity in a city
+
 
+
*animals are also a viable part of the park, with plenty and a large variety of birds, cats and even rabbits

+
 
+
 
+
==one of the gardeners at the botanical gardens - Karel Oberman==
+
 
+
*the botanical gardens originally wanted to include the park into the gardens, but the city council didn't want to cooperate
+
 
+
*there is a route to a fence at Mijnbouwstraat ready to go into the park, but never used.
+
 
+
*there is an entrance fee of €1 for children, and €2 for adults, it's free with a museum year card
+
 
+
*the gardens are otherwise funded by the TU
+
*some employees are from goodwill and provide work for the handicapped
+
*they used to have concerts in the gardens, but the city cut their budged

*they have a number of workshops throughout the year

+
 
+
- the busy Mijnbouwstraat is a big hindrance, and the city wants to make it a 2-way street, making it even busier
+
- this road really disconnects them from the rest of the TU
+
 
+
- in some ways the river Schie is doing the same to the city center
+
 
+
- people usually park behind the Architecture faculty as there is no real parking near the building itself...
+
 
+
- Public transportation is alright, though he is realy looking forward to the arrival of tram 19
+
 
+
- The green spaces behind the Science Center belong to DUWO, they wanted to build new housing there, but that was denied by the city. Now they plan an underground parking garage and creating a park there. The Science Center and the Botanical Gardens are partnering with DUWO on this plan.
+
 
+
- this park would openly connect with the Botanical Gardens, yet currently there are still some legal issues to be resolved with this. This idea is like the [http://www.westergasfabriek.nl/ Westergasfabriek]
+
 
+
- they are planning on getting activities from other faculties to the Science Center to expand their activities
+
- they have been in business just over one year and have 9 people on staff and not much money yet
+
 
+
- they had 38.300 visitors last year, of which 11.000 students ages 9-16 who come in classes with their schools
+
 
+
- most of the visitors come from the Delft/haaglanden and randstad. Not so much from the rest of the country
+
 
+
- they really want to be connected to the TU as a whole
+
 
+
 
+
- The Science Center is working together with for example the Architecture faculty with Hyperbody who have a space in the Science Center. Also the computer science department has a place and the industrial design department
+
 
+
- The Science center does not really work to facilitate any information FOR TU students yet.
+
 
+
- Nor show the coherence of the TU as a whole, just individual parts of the products of faculties.
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
<u>park options</u>
+
 
+
 
+
- the park is a large refuge island (vluchtheuvel) and hardly used
+
 
+
- they want to do something with the Dutch water cycle, as TU Delft does a lot of research in this area
+
 
+
- or something to do with climate, or public urinals that give out technical information on your outpourings like heat and chemical energy
+
 
+
- the '''summer''', '''weekend''' and '''evenings''' are important thinking of options as those are times when there are no students around !
+
 
+
- the park will be a sort of backyard for the students living in the student housing
+
 
+
- the Science Center has 2 inner courtyards, and as such don't really need to use the park as visits are still limited. But if there is a restaurant or something they would need a bigger area to facilitate this growth somehow.
+
 
+
- the park is empty, it is not a 'verblijfsruimte' a place where you STAY. No connection with the area and it's residents... residents and students need a REASON to GO there...

<u>changing the roads</u>
+
- The Mijnbouwstraat is going to be 2-way traffic, becoming an even busier road
+
 
+
- Julianalaan is going to partially closed off in front of the Architecture faculty
+
 
+
- The Myskenlaan beind the Architecture faculty will be closed in order for the park to become one whole
+
 
+
 
+
<u>extending the water structure</u>
+
 
+
- Delft has a problem, a water problem, with the change of climate and more rain as a result, Delft is getting wetter. Because of this more open water is needed to house this abundance. As a lof of different areas have different water levels, a connected system is needed for a better regulation of these levels.
+
 
+
- create ponds in the De Vries van Heystplantsoen
+
 
+
- create canals along most of the Julianalaan
+
 
+
- this water will continue along the Schoenmakerstraat to connect with the Jaffa park
+
 
+
- The parking-lot behind the Architecture faculty will be underground, with a pool on top, connecting the water from Julianalaan and Jaffa Park
+
 
+
- The Julianalaan will connect via a canal/pond with the canal at Jaffalaan to the water around the Jaffa park
+
 
+
- the canals around the Jaffa park will be extended a lot
+
 
+
- the canal will be extended along Schoenmakerstraat (along the Library)
+
 
+
- all canals are somehow connected via pipes where roads disconnect them
+
 
+
- The water of the Botanical Gardens will be increased a lot to flow into the area of DUWO and the Science Center.
+
 
+
- open water has a good physical and social effects on people
+
 
+
- a lot of the TU buildings are going to be fitted with green roofs to absorb (at least the first few part of) intense rain for less pressure on the overall system
+
 
+
 
+
<u>the park</u>
+
 
+
- The park is a historical protected area and cannot be built on or it's structure of roads altered

student interviews

We conducted interviews to understand the needs and desires of the people and define users and potential clients. The interviews have shown that there are two separate realities within the city.

At the same time, residents have said that they want to regain unity and participation.

In the end we want to keep in mind the users point of view, so we will also hear the residents of TU North and possibly the student associations of TU.

1. Diny Tubbing (city council, green spaces) Diny is an expert on green spaces and water in Delft, she wrote a report on the ecology of Delft. She validated our initial thoughts on creating a city park and linking the green to the larger green of the city. interview

2. Heleen Bothof & Pieter Delleman (residents association)

Heleen is an architect who studied at TU Delft, together with Pieter Delleman she is part of the residents association to improve TU North area in which they live and work.

They have validated our work in that they too want to create a city park interview

3. Michael van der Meer (Science Center, TU Delft)

Michael is the director of the Science Center, and as such has influence on TU related things that go on in the area, especially outwards. He validates our idea's in the interview on getting rid of the roads and confirmed idea's on expanding the program of the science center.

interview

4. Students & Teachers

In the video interviews validate our idea that they not know that there is a park at all... it's a hole in the network. This requires a larger notable (physical) impact of the park on the area. Also it has been said that it can function as an impulse to the entire university when it has some additional (different) styles of program are introduced.
