Interactions

Our scheme interacts with 3 branches of connections:

CONNECTION 1: Care-taker → Innovation Deck → Architectural Department Building

CONNECTION 2: Estate Agent → Derelict Pier → Abandoned Pier

CONNECTION 3: SEPAC

All connections provide clue for circulation, building functionality, transportation and lacking elements on site. They all interact closely with our building development and our final scheme.

CONNECTION 1

The RDM-campus is a pre-university school for young criminals between ages of 16 to 25. Students who chose to study here were allowed more freedom, but in return they have to work hard to get back to the society. According to the care-taker of the Innovation Deck, “80% of the criminals here get employed after they graduate from RDM-campus. They are free to go after school in the evening, but there are just no places to go around the campus except working labs. There is no such place on campus for them to relax and enjoy social life.” Being separated from Rotterdam city center due to inconvenient transport, these students has little social interaction, thus might have a hard time getting back to the society. We decide to focus on providing the missing component - entertainment - in response to care-taker’s comment on lack of such spaces. Both the Innovation Deck and the Architectural Department Buildings are core learning buildings of the RDM Campus, located on the west coast and south coast respectively. We decided to develop our entertainment center from the water center, so it has a clear physical and functional separation from learning buildings.

CONNECTION 2

The real estate agent said, “RDM is in need of re-development, because the piers and so many buildings no longer function there are hardly any people visiting RDM.” Though the two piers are abandoned at the present, they give people access to the water center of the campus. We struggled between the locations around the two piers, later chose water-center around the eastern pier as our scheme’s starting point, since it provides further access to the water. We believe by building an iconic entertainment center and renovating the abandoned pier, more people will be attracted to visit RDM Campus, and eventually bringing the area back to life.

CONNECTION 3

Both “SEPAC” and “The Fifth Season” aims to provide an entertainment space to the RDM Campus. So we divided entertainment into further categories; “SEPAC” houses exhibition and performance art spaces, while “The Fifth Season” provides sports and auditorium space. The two buildings are connected by an under-water pedestrian tunnel to not only cooperate on completion of an all-round entertainment center but also on access to ground for flexible circulation.
