Interactions



“This way of thinking about interactive systems is not necessarily technological: it is not about making your online shopping experience more efficient. Nor is it about making another nice piece of hi-tech lobby art that responds to people flows through the space (which is just as representational, metaphor-encumbered and unchallenging as a polite watercolor landscape).

It is about designing tools that people themselves may use to construct (in the widest sense) their environments and thus to build their own sense of agency. It is about developing ways to make people themselves more engaged with, and ultimately responsible for, the spaces that they inhabit. It is about investing the production of architecture with the poetries of its inhabitants.” Architecture, interaction, systems by Usman Haque'

PROJECT-PROJECT:

It is important to identify ways that the Babel Project can collectively develop a common environment and agenda with other projects on the site. This does not mean actively linking the design but establish a communication through the design process or interactive development. Cause a building is not a static object but a moving project, that even once it is has been built, it ages, it is transformed by its users, modified by all of what happens inside and out side.

PROJECT-PERSON

Angela works as a security guard at the area and lives in the nearby village. We discussed about religion and death in the wider area of Rotterdam and she seemed very keen to discuss. We talked about the different religions and how most people are atheist and do not believe in a specific religion. Her brother who died 5 years ago (6th of september) is buried in the 2nd Zuiderbegraafplaats cemetery which is for all religions. However she noted that they removed her father a few years ago because you need to pay for the tomb and since many years have passed they did not want to continue paying for 'renting' the space in the cemetery.

PROJECT-BUILDING: The linkage of our project to other buildings lies upon the usage and height. First of all we have to establish the distribution and position of all cemeteries, churches and cultural/spiritual places in Rotterdam. Since our aim through our project, based on our brief and concept, is to exaggerate both in depth and height it is important to see what/where the highest buildings in Rotterdam are. From the site there are 2 visible structures: The one is the concrete chimney form the west power station, and the 3 Europoint II buildings, 94.5 meters high each. Another connection on site with a building is the Shipyard Buildings(Apparantentabriek). This building is part of a complex of industrial installations. The access was not permitted on that side of the dock, however, it was really interesting to observe how the grey, blind, building disappeared in the grey cloudy sky when seen from a specific angle from the opposite side of the dock. It seems that in this building is a factory of apparatus. The thing to consider is the materiality and its relation to the other buildings.The KPN-Zendmast Waalhaven, also known as Communication Tower, is a 191.5 meter self supporting telecommunications tower located near Rotterdam in the Netherlands that was built in 1962.It is the tallest structure in the Rotterdam and one of the tallest structures in the Netherlands. The tower is made of reinforced concrete with a metal transmitter at the top and at least one observation deck about halfway up.
