[edit] The Knowledge Centre

author(s):Thomas Cornelis Boreas Steigenga

[edit] Summary

PROJECT

An educational getaway for everybody who is looking for something else, inspiration, new motivation, cutting edge ideas and above all: all of this in a unique environment. A hotel, which is not quite a hotel, a social club which is not quite a social club and a university which is not quite a university. Meet people, discuss all sorts of different subjects and most important: share and learn!

During this getaway the guests will stay in a comfortable centre supplying in all their basic needs. The goal during this period is to learn something new. To submerge yourself in an environment of learning, inspiration and relaxation. After their stay at the Knowledge Campus, the guests re-enter society with a broadened perspective, new knowledge and new motivation.

During the period the workshops, lectures, meetings and leisure area will be spread around the reRDM campus. The Knowledge Centre itself will function as a home.

The Knowledge Centre

An interactive and confronting architectural structure which does not lay itself upon the visitor, but stimulates the development of his or her ideas about and to reflect upon themselves, society, philosophy, economics, politics and moral and value questions.

The place has characteristics of present day functions in common like: meditation centre, cathedral, monastery, university, social club, bar/restaurant, theatre, hotel, public parc, library, museum, monument, fair, and many others.
