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.
