The overall shape of the landscaped walkways has been based off connections / interactions with neighbouring projects, the 4 different pavilions designed for De Geleerde Netwerk and their approximate position within the RDM site. From there a 3D form has been developed by wrapping the walkways around, up and down to create a unique form. | The overall shape of the landscaped walkways has been based off connections / interactions with neighbouring projects, the 4 different pavilions designed for De Geleerde Netwerk and their approximate position within the RDM site.

The styling
De Geleerde Netwerk will offer visitors a mix of determined and undetermined space. The space will be flexible, enabling the visitors to use it as they see fit. De Geleerde Netwerk provides students, tourists and locals with a library, bookshop, reading room, bar and exhibition space. These facilities are connected via walkways. These walkways not only connected each activity centre in De Geleerde Netwerk, but they are also directed to other projects. They will provide much needed public open space in the RDM site. Traffic will be generated along the walkways, however they will also encourage people to rest and relax in the space. Most of the walkways are terraced, creating interesting natural patterns. The terraces are used to connect the upper and lower levels, and also to create seating and vegetation platforms. The main terracing, connected to RDM campus and the exhibition space will create an auditorium of sorts to look down upon the exhibition and survey the whole development.
As the project creates open public space and a new landscape for the public, nature is the starting and finishing point for the design. As a result, the walkways in De Geleerde Netwerk are to be constructed from wood. This will create a visual and practical link between the built form and the concept of the project. Timber decking will enable the free forms to be manufactured and being lightweight they are a practical solution to the terraced design. The tones of the wood will reflect nature and bring a calm, natural feeling to the site. The wood will create a dynamism as it ages, changing colour and texture over time.
The overall shape of the landscaped walkways has been based off connections / interactions with neighbouring projects, the 4 different pavilions designed for De Geleerde Netwerk and their approximate position within the RDM site. From there a 3D form has been developed by wrapping the walkways around, up and down to create a unique form.
