Atom 07 Mission
In front of BK-City (Delft) lies the "De Vries van Heyplantsoen". In this park we are given the freedom to make an intervention to improve the given situation. By improving the (quality's of) site we try to let more people enjoy and experience the site. Simultaneously we will try to enrichen ourselves with the Hyperbody way of thinking. The exact goals can be foun under the Mission.
Analysis
To come up with a good understanding of the site and all of it's influences, it is a necessity to do a Analysis. The focus point of your analysis already gives you a focus point for the continuation of the project. In the analysis it comes clear the site posseses several "nice park" quality's. From this analysis we draw the conclusion that the target group should be focussed to the academic people. Where all institutions and even dwellings resemble these group. But what do these people need? And how can we make the optimal combination of these slightly different groups?
After this first analysis we need to go deeper. What are these quality's of the park? Where should the intervention take place? How big should it be?
Proposal
The goal of ouer proposal is to populate the site more. In this way we make sure the quality's of the park won't get lost in time. By attracting people we add another quality(?) to the park. A intervention which is able to addept to the different needs off all different academic. Yhe intervention is able to give people something new/extra not yet available in the park.
