Atom 07 Mission
In front of BK-City (Delft) lies the "De Vries van Heyplantsoen". In this park we are given the freedom to design an intervention to improve the given situation. By improving the (qualities of) site we try to let more people enjoy and experience the site. Simultaneously we will try to enrich ourselves with the Hyperbody way of thinking. The exact goals can be found 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 the analysis gives one a focus point for the continuation of the project. In the analysis it becomes clear that the site possesses several "nice park" quality's. From the analysis we deduced that the target group that we would like to focus on is the academic community. This park is a fringe condition between different institutions. Many surrounding built fabric resembles this community, even local inhabitants form part of this group. But what do these people need? And how can we make the optimal combination of these slightly different groups?
After our first analysis we have realised the need to have a deeper investigation and understanding of the site and actors. What are the qualities of the park? Where should the intervention take place? How big should it be? In the following few weeks, we will be concentrating on these questions - the investigation can be followed here:
Proposal
The goal of our proposal is to have more actors populate the site. In this way we make sure the qualities of the park won't get lost in time. By attracting people we add new/different qualities to the park - through an intervention which is able to adapt to the different needs of all the different academics. The intervention is able to provide people something new/extra, not yet available in the park. In order to do so we make an intervention which consists of different smaller elements. Together these elements are able to create different spaces and landscapes. At the same time these elements have some unique features dedicated to specific users. The shape, size and placement are yet to be determined for this Concept

Future
In the Future this atom would like to get a better vision on the demands and behaviour of visitors to different functions. In this way the intervention would be a result of the possibilities it should be able to give, and the needs of the different functions. The challange will be to make 1 or more groups consiting out of (more or less) generic elements which together become something new. Further more we think it is interesting to join forces with Atom 6, the ideas of both atoms can be integrated without loosing any quality's of the individual concepts. In the next fase of this project Atom 7 would like to try to convert this knowledge in to the shape/size/ fabrication of the intervention.
