In this new phase of the project we are focussing more on Stylos, Bouwpub and Kadmium as main 'costumer'. Especially Stylos want's to be closely connected to the project and might help us to really set this design to live in the end.

For the technical aspect we are contacting experts on kinetic design, materials and mechanics.

Different actors are contacted to validate the design. In the initial contact, the validators were asked if they see a future for the project and if so, to give real life demands for the concept. One of the actors was so interested in the project, they approached us and asked to be closely involved in the design. The interviews is compiled in the: list of demands.

Client/User

Joris van Dijk is the event planner of the student faculty group Stylos. Stylos see a lot of potential for the design, they are interested in frequent use. So frequent even that they would like to be the supervising party for the site. They will be the anchor tenant and will make use of the site between the different actors. Companies often approach Stylos asking if they need any sponsorship. Stylos will assist the project finding appropriate funds from companies for initial costs as well as assistance for obtaining materials.

Stylos's demands are mainly focused to provide space for students. A place where students can take a break from studying. Also the need for a space where students can easily connect to Stylos.

In the second meeting Joris van Dijk of Stylos is enthuasiastic with the progress of the project but would like to see a more precize proposal from ouer side. If this is the case, it is more possible to talk concreet about it.

Linda Ammerlaan

Is working at the Kadmium exhibition space in the inner city of Delft. The moment she heard about the concept, she started giving referrals to people who might be interested. Besides seeing a bright future for the project, she is a good contact within the creative industry. Linda works in a gallery and has good insight on the demands of different types of artist and simultaneously has a good view on the organising aspect of art galleries. She is a good user to connect with in the future to check if the design is able to meet up with the different demands.

In the second meeting we discussed the progress of the project, during this meeting she became more enthausiastic about the project because she is more able to see how it will develop. She also pointed again on some subjects which need to be in the project.

Linda de Vos

Is one of the organisational powers of the Bouwpub, next to this she is working at the Faculty of Architecture. The bouwpub currently has a nice space on the East side of Architecture Faculty, however for events the space isn't sufficient and the views around are not that interesting. For this the bouwpub is interested to have the option to rent a bigger space close to the faculty. The nice thing here is they are a local actor as well, so would like to see the development of the site. The bouwpub has some experience in organising events and the demands needed for social activities. They will be an expert and a user.

For the use of the site they would like some preset lay outs of the project which they can choose from. This should be possible on a remote location. It also would be nice to addept this lay out to the ammount of people joining the event. For the second time she mentioned the availebillity of electrics and other infrstructures like plumming and for instance a toilet.

Jan Brouwer

Is a board member and active participant of TOP (technical meeting point in Delft). Top was originally started to improve the connection between the technical aspects of the city, like univesity, students and starting technical bushinesses, and the inhabitants of Delft. Currently TOP is focused on exhibiting art, architecture and public friendly technical ideas. New technologies are not currently TOP's main priority. They have moved to exhibition art to make money and survive in this climate of declining funds. They still exhibit work of the university and have a good informal connection to different people and faculty. And one of their wishes is to have an exhibition space closer to the campus, so the inventors of the exhibited technique's can be more connected. They might be interested in organising some larger activity's which don't fit their current space.

Emiel Harmsen

In this interview it became apparent that artists are more than other users concerned with the effect of the weather and vandalism of their art. Artist are interested in exhibiting their works but only if they are sure their works of art is safe. Emial saw the potential but had some remarks on safety and durability. She also mentioned that most artist don't have a lot of money to show their art, so they will need to be insured that the exhibition is a success to avoid their art name to be tarnished.

Experts

Patrick Teuffel, is a professor at the faculty of architecture in TUDelft. He is known for it knowledge of movable and kinetic structures. After showing him our first option for the mechanics of the project he advised us to look in to other solutions as well. However in the end the first solutions seems to the most fitting.

Susanna Komossa, in her book "The Dutch urban block and the public domain Models, rules, ideals" She goes in to the relation of the public space and its user. In the future she is willing to discuss with us about the design.

Andre Taris, Andre is an Australian Industrial Designer. His work has a strong underpinning of user-object interaction. After the project takes more shape, a validated choice of material is possible.

YES Delft Is an organisation funded by the TU Delft and helps student to think about entrepreneurship and own businesses. Starting a new business will need some guidance.

Raxana Palfi is an expert on computer aided design with a broad spectrum of sofware she masters.

Other relations

Relation with other atoms

In the first phase of the design studio all of the atoms came up with their own plans. After a few weeks a forced collaberation was tried, this gave some new insights in the project but didn't ended with a collaberations of atoms. Due to the clarity of the designs, atoms could not relate to other project and were not willing to kill their own plans for it. At the end of phase one some resemblances could be found between atom 2 and 7.

From Atom 6 we borrowed some of their research.

Atom 1 proposed to be the provider of information, space and trips for all the other atoms, after some short slightly visited workshops it didn't seem to be a succes and they turned away from this approach. They did convinced people to work more together in the hyperbody studio, in this way projects can talk and discuss about the project and give/recieve feedback.

Relation with other projects

in the second phase the collaboration between atoms still didn't reached a new level. Each project was continueing where the atoms stopped. The projects being more defined at this moment makes clearer to show/present to other projects. At the same time people are even less willing to leave their projects and kill their baby's. Project are now working together in 1 room for most of the time thanks to atom1 but so far it did not resulted in collaboration.

Several projects are working on the adaptable space for different use(rs).

Relation to other developments on site

The road between the faculty of Architecture and the van Heyplantsoen will become less important. In the research of atom 6 we can see a interview and a map of the new situation. This is good news for this project, the main user Stylos will be even more connected to the site. Also the barrier between the faculty and the park deminishes so student are more invited to use the park.

In the future it might be possible several interventions take place in the park at the same time. If this would be the case some collaboration would be needed with other project to tune them in such a way they strengthen each other on site.
