Overview island
This project has two levels; a. Park (+4 meter) and b. Cave (+1 meter). Each level has its own character, providing different facilities and unique experiences.
A. Park
This level is a green landscape with walking paths connecting each project with the landscape. While going for a walk or when using the island to go from point A to B, people pass different projects such as EZ RDM, Welcome to the Cave, Open House and Connecting Dots, developing their knowledge about sustainability provided by these projects.
The green, open spaces on this level are mostly filled by several units provided by the project Welcome to the Cave. The units of that project together with the landscape that this project offers, form an interactive area. This combination adds the colour and the life needed to transform the industrial look of the RDM area into a more natural look.
B. Cave
This level is mostly based on activities and spaces where people can get together. It provides a skate park, a "cave square" and a swimming pool, which can also be used as an ice rink in the winter.
A. Park
Overview of the park
The park is an important aspect of the island, because it will enrich the everyday experience of the citizens in the nearby village. These people go for a walk or take out their dogs in the neighbourhood. The park will be a good way to draw the citizens more to the RDM area. At the same time they will be informed about the latest news or upcoming events in the RDM area by the projects on the island. By being up to date with what is going on the RDM area, the citizens will slowly start to feel the bond getting stronger with their village and the RDM again.
The park is also the very first view on arrival. This is a good chance to set the tone about the RDM area, giving the people a feeling of entering a continuous landscape that covers the whole RDM area. Ofcourse this feeling of continuous landscape is a result of the masterplan for the whole area (see Shared Masterplan-Landscape).
Another quality of the park is the activities that can take place on the landscape. As mentioned earlier, these activities will mostly be provided by Welcome to the Cave, such as a diving tower, public spaces and other platforms (for more information about these units go to Welcome to the Cave).
1. Park
Bird view of the park.
2. Square of Connecting Dots
View to the RDM area from the square of the project Connecting Dots.
3. Diving tower (provided by project Welcome to the Cave)
Interactivity between the swimming pool and the diving tower (image taken from Welcome to the Cave.
B. Cave
Translating a "natural" cave....
...into an "architectural" cave
The cave is one of the most important aspects of this project. It provides activities, it is the structure that carries all the weight of the projects above and in some cases it has interactive parts with the projects above.
The activities that are planned for this space are open for everybody. From young and old, student or tourist, everyone has access to it and everyone can find a place to enjoy themselves. Also, a big advantage of the cave is that it is protected from weather conditions because of the roof on top of it. This makes the cave and all its functions an ideal place to go to regardless of any weather condition.
The cave consists of three parts:
1. Skatepark
This area of the cave is especially appealing to the younger generation. The students in the housing project of Open House are a good example of the target group for the skate park.
2. Cave square
This part of the cave is a small square where people can come together to sit, to talk and to do some activities such as playing football. Other activities become also possible because of the empty space in the middle of the square, stimulating the fantasy of the users to do any activities they want, for example making music and dance.
3. Swimming pool
Swimming pool is an important part of the cave. This part is inspired by the location of the project, which is on water. The pool is designed to have a stronger connection with the water. It is also a part that makes interactivity possible. The diving tower of the project the Cave and this pool is a good example of it.
An advantage of having a roofed outdoor pool is that it can always be used. Especially when the pool can be transformed into an ice rink. In this case, during the summer it is a swimming pool and in the winter an ice rink.
Swimming pool in the summer...
Ice rink in the winter.
The swimming pool makes use of a combination of filtration and chemical threatment to continually clean the water. A basic pool needs several components which can be found in the link under Reference.
There are a few ways to transform the pool into an ice rink. There is also a link of a possible way to do it under the Reference.
