PROJECT DESIGN
WHAT? WHERE?
Present situation
Addition as activator for site
Intervention as barrier to wind and traffic noise
Relationship between the structure and trees/context
With the proposed increase in housing and the subsequent requirement for more green space we are proposing an autonomous infrastructure for activities which can activate the existing underused park. Our intervention will form an additional public space to the site. Integrating into the existing fabric to provides a zone of autonomous activity between the faculty of Architecture and the de Vries van Heijstplantsoen site. The intervention will inhabit what is currently a narrow tarmac layby in order to bring benefits to the site with minimal modifications to the existing condition. The intervention will make use of the existing rhythms and flows of material and waste produced within TU delft, which can then precipitate and instigate new activities.
ELEMENTS/FRAGMENTS
One of the components of the design is to allow users to create their own fireplace from a set of predefined areas. These areas form a path that runs throughout the intervention. Underneath the paving stones is the 'fireplace system' that addresses concerns of ash management, cleaning, and fire safety.

PROCESS
The anaerobic digester is powered by waste food and paper collected from various cafeterias and the faculties of TU Delft. This will create electricity which can be used in systems within the structure.
The structure will tap into existing waste flows, for example providing storage space for waste wood from TU Delft, which can then be burnt.
The floor system of our structure will create a space which allows fire to be instigated anywhere along its path, using material (wood) collected from faculties within TU Delft and stored within our structure.
Our structure will incorporate a movable facade, which can be adapted according to wind speeds, if there is little wind the structure can be opened, which will also allow light from fires to pass through the structure creating an intimate secondary space.
If the wind speed is too high then the facade facing the wind will close, protecting the fire and the users and providing a usable space.
Waste (ash) produced by fire, will be collected and stored within the floor system, before being used as compost for the plants and garden.
