Positive disruption
“You can neither lie to a neighbourhood park, nor reason with it. 'Artist's conceptions' and persuasive renderings can put pictures of life into proposed neighbourhood parks or park malls, and verbal rationalizations can conjure up users who ought to appreciate them, but in real life only diverse surroundings have the practical power of inducing a natural, continuing flow of life and use.”
― Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities
“The more successfully a city mingles everyday diversity of uses and users in its everyday streets, the more successfully, casually (and economically) its people thereby enliven and support well-located parks that can thus give back grace and delight to their neighborhoods instead of vacuity. ”
― Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities
The Hyperbody Msc1 project this semester offers students the opportunity to design, fabricate, erect and operate an architectural intervention between the Faculty of Architecture and the Delft Science Center. The site has no distinctive use and is underused and an introduction of any activity will increase use. However our project aims is to ensure that a diverse range of activities and uses introduced which can begin to disrupt the monoculture which currently exists.
In order to do this we will critically study projects initiated by other atoms and analyse whether they are introducing new and diverse activities or merely compounding the current situation. We will then engage with these atoms and their projects openly and subversively in an attempt to persuade them of the benefits of improved diversity of use and the subsequent disruption of monoculture.
Monoculture is the cultivation of a single money crop or other exportable product to the virtual exclusion of others
Disorganise is to disrupt an established system of relationships
Disruptive behaviour characterized by unrest or disorder or insubordination; causing disruption or unrest
