INTRODUCTION
The site is a large open park surrounded by important buildings such as the BK City, Delft Science Center, Botanical Garden, housing buildings, with several green areas. bus stops, parking area and crossing pathways connecting one side of the road to another across the park.
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 be it pedestrian or bikes, lunches and as an outdoor study/relaxation area.
WHAT IS OUR CHALLANGE
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.
WHAT IS OUR INTERVENTION
Our intervention will be a path through the park linking different uses. These uses will be walking, cycling, skateboarding, lounge area’s indoors and outdoors.
This path will be a three-dimensional spatial structure that is shaped/molded/wrapped/warped according to the use. The structure will be interactive with its environment. We see the primary task of such a structure as providing a sense of semi-enclosed space for people, alone or in groups, to feel comfortable while sitting, eating, transiting, conversing and/or reading along it.
However the structure may need some more privacy from the main walk so users don’t feel “ON DISPLAY”. While performing the intervention, we need to take into account few other factors as well, like:
[exploring the senses and memory through a linkage]
[exploring temporary structures + permanent structures]
[creating a place of linkage within the urban void]
[instrument for activating the present landscape]
