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. | 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.

Mission Statement
To maintain the intimacy of the De Vries van Heytsplantsoen park while raising its awareness.
Client(s)
People who use (or would use) the De Vries van Heytsplansoen site regularly. A simple survey indicated that the park is used by very few people. Further analysis will give identity to the users of the park and thus identify our "client," under whose influence we will be designing. Research
Challenges
The site is underutilized and we hypothesize that this is because of a select few factors:
1. Relation to the street 2. Accessibility 3. Noise
Intervention(s)
The results from our research will give quantifiable data about the importance of each of these factors as experienced by each of our clients. From these (three) categories will come specific challenges that our design process will attempt address. In each case, the client will serve as the on/off switch for the system, which will accept inputs from the environment in order to solve our design challenges.
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
Concept Idea
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.
