REALIZATION PLAN

TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION

The architectural fabrication consists of 4 major aspects:

Inflatable Structures:

- Application of bike tube materials to increase the strength of inflatables

- Application of valve for better performance of maintain air pressure

- Application of outer skin for protection of inflatables

- Application of composite materials as inflatables frame

Air Pump System:

- Application of PVC tube for even distribution of air pressure

- Application of electrical pumping system

- Application of compressor for accurate air pressure supply

Pulley System:

- Application of pulley for flexible changing of stings profile

- Application of pulley motor support the pulley system

Control System:

- Application of computational control system as central control system to operate pulley and inflation/deflation system.

- Application of remote control system instead of on site operation

RELATION OF PROJECT

Relation to other atom(s):

Atom 8 is creating a structure that can incorporate many different activities but changes its appearences due to parameters related to (eg) sunlight, noise and user density. This could become an extension of the Spacebook structure system.

Relation to other project(s):

Interactive border is as a possible solution for Spacebook furniture

Flexscape is a possible system for a user adaptable floor

Relation to other developments on the site:

- Some of the strips will serve as a (covered) walkway for connecting the BK city to the Science Centre and the Botanical Gardens.

FINANCIAL REALIZATION

There are several financial plans that could finance (or contribute to financing) Spacebook.

1. Advertisement on Spacebook website.

2. Advertisement on site -> Promotional furniture or product testing.

3. Renting the site to companies for promotional events.

4. Make Spacebook the showpiece of TU Delft and/or the Municipality of Delft -> use their promotional budget.

VALIDATORS

Future users showed in their questionnaire results there is a demand for Spacebook.

Johan Bogaart, graduate student in Architectural Engineering: "Spacebook is bringing people together in the next age. It is innovative and has a rich potential."

Jurjen de Jong, student Civil Engineering: "I like the idea of Spacebook. When you are also able to create some privacy, I see potential in the project."

2. Business economy student -> Possible financial solutions
