Mission Statement
To maintain the intimacy of the De Vries van Heytsplantsoen park while raising its awareness.
Impressions
The park seems to be a quiet and nicely abandoned place. This gives it a special atmosphere when you get into it; it belongs to you at this moment yet at the same time, one intuitively feels that you cannot see everything in the first moment. This abandonment makes the park hidden, which might make the guests curious. The park has so much inaccessible space, which would be nice to discover. And in this way to discover things in the nature relates to the botanic garden just next to the park. However here the way of discovering goes not into this academic way of a botanic garden, then much more into exploring the park. This may happen in different levels, or layers.
Questions
What is a public park and does one discover it?
What is a Botanical Garden and what purpose does it serve?
What is privacy in a public space? Should it be also hidden?
Is a hidden place a good one? Which qualities does it have? How to deal with hidden places? Shall we keep them?
How to keep a hidden place?
How to observe the place? how to observe the people, who is there?
How to raise awareness of the park?
Can this be done without endangering the abandoned character of the park?
Concept Idea
Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE
An apparition takes you and leads you through [all layers of] the park and let you see the whole beauty of its hiddenness. This apparition permits you discover the site, at the same time withholding you from it, preventing you from walking on the ground. Later on it lets you feel alone, giving you the information you need at the right moment, allowing you to be alone, or with other people, in the park, and with the park.
This apparition could be a surface that leads you above the bushes, it could be a tube lets you be completely alone [or intimately hidden], sometimes it is a shelter, protecting you from the rain. Sometimes it has small windows, letting you look at an old tree, one you have never seen before ,or maybe its just grass, or a strawberry bush.
Design Challenges
Before being able to design an actual project/object for the site, analysis must validate our impressions and hypotheses as to the nature of both the space we are working in and the space we are trying to create.
The intervention should be incorporated into the site without disturbing the intimacy of the park. Perhaps this is achieved through the use of a discovery device; a tangible object that will lure certain curious passersby into the park.
