It is intended that the project becomes a medium in which local and foreign actors can engage one another through sports and leisure activities connected to the feature element of the site: water. Activities like swimming, bathing, ice-skating  will play an important role in a new community which will form around RDM.  The projects we connect to have an opinion on what this community should become and how it can impact the area and Rotterdam.

Looking at variations on site meant analyzing the qualities of items relevant to the project.  By items the team means people, objects, buildings and projects. Analyzing positions within a relevant class of objects, the piers, provided the reason to intuitively migrate from the designated position, towards the centre of the dock. According to the new situation(new neighbors, new intentions, informed tags) it was possible to geometrically define improved connections. An area of movement, stretching from east to west was next determined. This involved fixed parameters (piers-adaptable connections to land) and dynamic unpredictable parameters (neighboring projects, people and other entities). All these positions, translated into geometry, describe an area where the project tag can comfortably  move(this can change if input parameters are altered).

[edit] VARIATIONS. Fish as a style in evolution

Fish are a style in the evolution of life in marine environments. Variations and the fish analogy. From structural and stylistic point of view the fish has always been a driver in variations design process. Fish are an expression of excellent performance through integration. They are almost one with their environment. The fish analogy has driven the design to a point of interpretation of features considered key for the success of the double-personality project. Gradually the sum of design elements has become a whole and an integration challenge emerged.

Our main pages present the stages of interpretation, integration and optimization as a coherent and complete variation of a designed based research for building for people, in and around water.

The project has evolved from analogy to a hybrid architectural species.

[edit] VARIATIONS. Skin as performance, performance as style

What makes fish successful in their environments? Is it their aqua-dynamic shape?, their flexible bone-structure? or is it an integration of the two along with the structure of the skin, breathing capacities, buoyancy capabilities?

The matter of integration ultimately influences design directions, establishing what feature becomes part of the design and critically assesses how/if these features work well together.

Variations has two main interior climates: a very hot and humide pool space next to a dryer service and leasure plus visitor space. The style of the building demands that these spaces are in direct contact with eachother while the performance demands for a strict division between them. As a response to this issue, a dividing ETFE doublecurved foil has been introduced in between the pool space and the circulation/service space. In addition to achieving its climatic purpose the new elements incorporate interactive lighting to the enrichment of spaces. Thus changing character, from division elements to unifying tranlucent partition.

The sequence of stairs connects the lower and upper levels introducing a rythm complementing the main rib structure without fisically being attached to it. Simultaneously the stairs mark the acceses to and from service spaces and emergency escape routes.

The way in which building technology concepts have been implemented into the design of these elemets is a result of the teams possition towards integration of style and performance. There is no style without performance. The stylistic decisions must be backed by performance concepts and standards so as to lead a possible discussion with a technical consultant to the benefit of the project and of the client.
