Interactions
1.Connection with Vincent. He is a staff member of RDM. He stated that RDM is not like a traditional campus; there are no student facilities where the students can relax and spend time with their peers outside of university hours.
2.Connection with the students of RDM, including Mike. Students are the main users of this area. They come to school here 5 days a week, where they study until 5pm each day. The school provides lunch - so the students don't need to leave campus. The students leave campus at 5pm and don't hang around the dock as there is nothing to do. There is opportunity to provide spaces for the students.
3.Connection with Dokkaffee. This is the only place in the RDM campus vicinity where you can have a break, sit and drink a coffee. At the same time it's one of two places in the neighbourhood where you can have a lunch. However the Dokkaffee is overpriced and as a result, it is not frequented by students. The students prefer to eat they food outdoor, with no protection from the elements. There is an opportunity here to develop a place where the students feel comfortable to sit and relax during their lunch hours.
4.Connection with students' handmade projects，There is no existing place for students to exhibit their handmade works. As a result there is a collection of student work outside. Because of bad weather, their projects decay over time. There is an opportunity to design an exhibition space dedicated to students works with appropriate protection from the elements.
5.Connection with RDM Campus. This building is the most important point of this area. This building provides the most human interaction on site. De Geleerde Netwerk should connect with this building as the students in this building have no space to hold informal meetings, party or relax.
6.Connection with the abandoned foundations of dock. The foundations of abandoned dock are made from concrete and iron. Because of their strength ,they can be used as inspiration for the foundation of De Geleerde Netwerk projects.
