Re-inventing delta technology
The DOK_Expo_2.0 is positioned on one of the main routes of the new masterplan of the RDM. It's situated on the route from the main entrance at the Maas and ends at the DOK_Expo_2.0. In this way my building really takes benefit of its position within the masterplan. The building is positioned in front of the DOK Kantoor in this way the building has strong ties with the old. One can't explain and share this knowledge without looking to the past. It is this past where the Dutch owe all the wealth they have today (see paragraph DOK Kantoor for further info). Due to this good position there will be plenty of passers by. Because of all these passers lots of sightlines from the path network of my building to the inside are created. In this way the DOK_Expo_2.0 is exposed to passers by who otherwise wouldn't see all the great inventions the Dutch have ever made. The RDM terrain benefits also from the DOK_Expo_2.0 because it offers a place where people which are from inside the industry can share there knowledge. In this way it will catalyse the attraction and founding of other technological companies. Which in that way attracts employees and visitors. The DOK_Expo_2.0 is not only meant for people from the seen, its expo is also suitable for visitors which are interested in the Dutch maritime sector. So when this all takes place it becomes an attractive place for investors. In short, the position as well as the design concept is strengthen the way the building as well as the RDM itself benefits from all these features.

DOK Kantoor
The building has strong ties with the DOK Kantoor. The DOK Kantoor was once a striking building with a clear appearance on a prominent place within the DOK Haven. However, in the new masterplan it has problems to withstand the tide of the other projects violence. The building include the DOK Kantoor in its design to strengthen and enforce his own design and to bring the prominent presence back. In see the DOK Kantoor as a monument which will be there over time, if you make a place like I do for the exposition of dutch based inventions and technology you have to embrace the old. The old will strengthen the story my building tells.
Interactions
The façade of the building will act as responsive matter. A façade which interacts with and adapts to the irradiance of the sunlight. If a space is suffering to much or gains to less profit of the daylight the façade adapts its configurations directly to the needs of the relevant user.
The façade is composed of operable shutters reminiscent of a camera mechanism and the Iris of the human eye. The shutters open and close in relation to changing sunlight conditions. The shutters are contained in the facade that consist of the window assembly of exterior double. The shutters will regulate the daylight transmission during the day. These shutters, or diaphragms, are equipped with photocells that measure the amount of sunlight striking the glass, which automatically opens or closes the shutters to maintain optimal interior conditions.
The façade will show a nice spectacle at night. An interesting image of spots will be visible when you're walking on the quay when the night falls. Another feature of the building at night is when a space is more populated by users then others. Namely the lights will be stronger at that part of the building.
