SYMBIOSIS
According to the idea of the SYMBIOSIS, we are trying to design-fabricate a medium scale structure-installation made of particles. We call it SYMBIOSIS because the structure is adopted to the site.(each site). It interprets each site’s characteristic and needs and changes. As a symbiotic organism, our structure depends on the site.
WHO IS OUR CLIENT
Our clients are the people who live or use the buildings surrounding the site. Also people who pass the site by bike or on foot, but not those who pass by car.
Because of the size of the site,which is relatively small,our aim is not to attract people from all over Delft but to extend the existing outdoor area connecting the park.
During the day different people will enter the area. In the morning there will be people walking their dog our who are jogging. In mid-day there will be mostly students and passers. And in the evening there will properly be students who live nearby. So basically, the space is to be used for linkages for pedestrians or riders with bikes. In the site,the visitor will have the possibility to have lunch,to relax (an outdoor study/relaxation area), or to train himself/herself in the skate/bmx area.
SPONSORS
Sponsors for our construction will be TU Delft, constructions companies and material companies. The construction will be a publicity/advertisement for each one as it will be made of their materials.
WHAT IS OUR INTERVENTION
For the specific site:
Our intervention will be a public space and a path through the park linking different functions. These functions will be walking, cycling, BMX, skating, lounge area (indoor/outdoor), meditation space. The new space will have a strong identity, while each function- area (part of the whole construction) has different qualities (open/closed/semi-closed space, flat/curved floor-wall, visibility-non visibility etc). Primary aim is creating a public space where the user, alone or in groups, feels comfortable while sitting, eating, transiting, conversing and/or reading along it.
