Our Project is focused on the gradience between the private and public. The design effort lies in the transition space between the streetscape and the buildings. The border landscape embodies different semi-public and semi-private rooms. The landscape is also a showroom of technological means. It is constantly recording and replaying events and its participants from the site. Through the replayd moments the identity of the site and the clients is augmented.

CONCEPT

CONTRAST

Architectural rhythms of the solution are built on the contrast between formally variable border landscape surrounded with generic buildings. The generic is coming from unfixed, flexible program.

RENEWED LOGISTICS

To make function as a link between the city and the campus. The site openes towards Michiel de Ruijterweg to attract the students from their daily commuting routines. The new logistical scheme will link the site with its neighbours.

PARAMETERS OF TRANSITION SPACE

The border landscape is a complex parametrical system. The rules are developed according to research about existing typologies.

MEDIA SOLUTION FOR IDENTITY

The interface embodies the representational tools to achieve the identity. We call it memory machine.

Project Components

The interface between the public and private is created through spatial needs according to the client profiles (transition landscape). The interface embodies the representational means (the memory machine) to achieve the identity.

Memory Machine

The memory machine is a tactical tool to improve the site identity. It replay 'translated' moments according to the needed mood at every moment. The replayed moments are collected date from the users who are using the site. the translation is done by a kind of filter what translate the monents into sounds and visuals. The replaying of is a representation in space what will create a different 'mood'. Thereby the representation is related/adjunct to time. The time of replay will influences the experiences of the users. This is controlled by the occupation of the site.

Transition Landscape

The Border between the private and the public gives us a clear research theme on existing typologies. The becoming from private to public can (the levels and the sizes of the transition spaces) can be seen as parameters for the spatial affordance of desired program. The parametric model will be dealing with the measure of the void in terms of the porocity, transparency and permeability.

Typology

We studied different commercial typologies and measured their levels between the public and private space.
