Revision as of 02:45, 24 September 2012
Concept translated to physical shape:
The concept of continuity should be clearly visible in the design. The possible routes and connections to other projects are a few options to make the concept visible. Furthermore the design should also represent the RDM area, which stands for innovation and development. The drawing underneath shows four stages of development. The rectangle gets every stage a more organic shape. This fits the project perfectly. The RDM currently exists of old buildings. The project locations are going to be filled by new buildings, which makes this development from old to new possible. This design will start with characteristics of RDM (rectangular shapes) and slowly develop in an organic shape.
Impact of the design:
The desired effect of this project is to bring the connection back between the RDM and the village. At interaction page it is explained that there is no visible connection anymore between the two areas. In order to achieve this connection, the design must have something to offer that will be interesting for both areas. That something shouldn't be a new function to draw people, but it should be something that will stimulate the habits of the citizens and the students.
What has this design to offer?
As stated before, the design shouldn't be a new function but something to stimulates the habits. For the citizens this will be a mini park. Most of the complaints about the unvisible connection comes from the old citizens. These people go for a walk or take out their dogs in the neighbourhood. The mini park will be a good way to enrich the every day experience of their walks. At the same time they will be informed about the latest news or upcoming events in the RDM area. As for the students, the design will also work as a waiting/gaming hall. The students don't have anything to do while they wait for the fast ferry. Sometimes it takes up to 30 minutes for the next ferry to arrive. During that time the students can wait in the waiting hall and game, instead of waiting in the campus where they already had hours of classes. The waiting/gaming hall will also attract younger citizens to RDM.
