Site
The site has diverse vegetation, a nice view of open space and surrounding buildings. However, the most disruptive influences are sound, and the very little activity.

Experimentation
Experiments done looking at
1. User - object interaction.
In this experiment we tried to see the interaction between an element and user. In the Orange Lecture hall we made several set ups which the users were able to adapt to the experiment to suite their demands. The set ups varried from comfortable to obstructive.
conclusions:
- People are willing to make a bigger effort to have a comfortable seat.
- It is nice to have a diverse arangement of spaces, caters for larger user group.
- People will sit close to their point of interest (lecture, other person, nearest bench on approach, etc).
- People will adapt their use to the given situation.
- People only change elements when it necessary.
- When a object seems heavy or when people feel exposed or embarrassed, they give up early in trying to adapt the seating arrangement.
2. GPRS Mapping of people and activities.
3. Questioning if traditional anthropometrics are feasible for dynamic structures.
Input output Actors
As a result of input from different actors on site, an active loop of information exchange and interactivity between building and actors will be generated in the design strategy - creating additional programmes.
Client
Funding will be provided by:
Stylos
Art Galleries
Science Centre
TNO (to confirm)

Concept
The concept is to make a field of modular units which adapt to local environments and conditions. This creates an ineffable space, always changing to accommodate its users.
Specialisation
Strategies and solutions for customization of programme – via fabrication and experimentation.
Financing
Funding will be provided by.
Maintenance of site - Income from rentable space.

Research
Research covers all aspects from site to climate design. As we are following a reverse engineering protocol, more data about the site will become available as the project progresses.
