description

The project consist out of a sequence of spaces which are contrasting regarding to each other. The spaces are permanent, temporary or neutral. Permanent and temporary spaces are linked by means of neutral spaces. The variety of spaces are reminiscent of the variation of areas experienced within the park. Permanent spaces are the ones which are meant to stay in for a while and are therefore static. The intention is to designate a possible function to it. A small restaurant, exhibition space, studio space are examples of possible functions. The permanent spaces are situated at comfortable spots of the park. The temporary spaces are dynamic and are situated at the spots which turned out to be disturbing according to the questionnaire. With regarding to the temporary spaces, sound is going to be redirected in order to create a more comfortable space at one hand but also to create a structure (based on the principal of reflecting and redirecting sound) which will visually interact with the surroundings (see visualisation). The neutral spaces are a linkage between the permanent and temporary spaces.

purpose

The idea of the project is to attract people to the site by means of dealing with the threats and turn them into something positive. The threats are the disturbance caused by noise, the lack of programmatic definition, the lack of communication with the surrroundings. All these items are described more within the atom space.

The De Vries van Heystplantsoen site has a strong natural character. Unlike its surroundings, it is a rare and powerful urban typology in Delft. It is an isolated site and its introversion is stressed by the plantation barrier on the periphery. However once inside, we experienced a variety of areas with a distinctive character,we chose the 8 most memorable and categorized them based on their relationship with the borders.
