Shape of the building

Smooth lines dictate the shape of Connecting Dots implying a sense of movement. To continue the line with neighboring buildings Connecting Dots, is made with smooth lines. The edge of the roof is carefully designed. The roof has parts with steep slopes and with gentle slopes. The gentle slopes define the public route, therefore visitors choose the gentle slope above a steep slope for a nice walk.

Weaving pattern analyzed

Three different types of lines make the construction of the building. The straight lines connect to the closest tree at the points 0,4,8 and 12. The diagonal lines also connect to the closest points, but to the tree at diagonal bases at the points 2, 6, 10, 14. The third type of line connects to the diagonal tree one step further. Here the lines connect at the points 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15. Those lines continu in a column, and gather together in a group of branches.

The weaving pattern is designed so the different lines are braid together. For example: when a line crosses another, the line will be above. When this same line crosses somewhere further another line, this first line will be under. So the lines work like a braid.

Continuality of the structure in the corners and edges

For the edges and corners of the building, the design needs a continuality of the pattern. A mirror is introduced to keep in line with the pattern on the edges and corners of the design.

Structure of the birdnests

Because on the roof of the building, an exposition about sustainability takes place, there is a need for shelter. To continu the design in the same direction, small domes or birdnests are introduced. For the birdnests on top of the building, the same pattern will be continued. Only the bows of the lines are higher. At different places, on the public route, the birdnest and the diversion of the birdnest are placed.

Stretching the strict grid

Because of the routing through the building, there is a need for smaller and bigger spaces. Therefore, the trees will not be in a straight grid, but will move. The connections will stay the same as before, only they will be stretched.
