Summary
The RDM site is in need of redevelopment. It is a huge area that has the potential to open up a new environment 'close' to the Rotterdam city centre for users to enjoy.
I am part of The Brain Project team. This system presents a set of 'rules' to create a workable system for our buildings. Each building must have the ability to connect to its neighbour. This way each building will eventually connect to land and water. The option to disconnect from your neighbour is also possible, making the site dynamic and always changing. Nothing here is permanent.
Looking at the system and individual buildings as a kind of web - where the connections can be broken and rebuilt. There is the potential to create a central hub of sorts that grounds the project. Each time the site is visited it appears different and the journey that the visitor takes changes. To succeed in redeveloping the site, in must be frequented by both locals and tourists, young and old, different demographics, for a mixture of functions. This is a difficult task but one that can be achieved if the whole Hyperbody group works together.
I would like to work in a small cluster to develop a community centre of sorts. I am open to change though, as I believe there is a need for many different buildings here. The water on site presents an interesting opportunity and will enable our designs to be innovative and unique.
