Our challenge is to connect the site again with its mainstream environment. Activate surrounding Green-space and also offer the opportunity to create affording connections directly or indirectly to various points across the park. A catalyst need to be created within the urban fabric through the instrument of the linkage for experiencing the landscape and site dynamics.
WHY DO WE NEED A NEW PUBLIC SPACE IN THIS SITE (PROBLEMS)
The site is fully isolated this is because of the dense vegatation at the border of the park. Hereby there is no visual contact between the in and outside. This makes people hesitate to enter because the park is a unknown space.
When entered the site is not attractive. This has to do with the vegetation. There is a lack of maintanance and the kind of vegetation is not attractive to look at.
The site also lacks security.(You feel afraid of being there). Because there is no visual connection with the outside space there is no social control.
SITE OPPORTUNITIES
The site is located on the campus of the TU Delft in-between BK city, student housing and a botanic garden. This has its advantage that is has lots of possible clients passing by. Also BK-city and the student dwelling both have a lack of common space for the students to work, relax etc. The site can become a new meeting place.
Although the vegetation is not attractive the fact that there is a green unculivated area is a opportunity. Because we think there is a need for a attractive (green) outside space.
