Performance

Introduction

In the 'interaction' section you have noticed a rough draft of the program for the Knowledge Centre. In this part of the website, the final design is presented in 4 steps. Firstly, the concept and references are illustrated. Secondly, a short animation will show all of the components of which the building consists. Part of the styling are the plan drawings. These will show where certain program is located and how the routing is arranged. Also, some connections brought up in the 'interaction' section will be shaped and visible. This section end with some images to present the atmosphere in the building.

Concept and References

The project

The most important aspects of the Knowledge Campus are learning, talking and thinking. Learning is generally done at one of the other projects on the campus. Talking and thinking are things that happen in the Knowledge Centre.

The Knowledge Centre should be designed in a way that it stimulates these activities. That means, a building, with lots of different spaces with different characteristics, different levels of publicness, different heights and different spatial experiences.
