The RDM Harbor, a ca. 115,000 M2 plot of water in Rotterdam, Holland does not currently meet the needs of its users. Students, boat engineers, sailors, and workings who frequent the site complain of the harbor's monotony, lack of sheltered public space, and insufficient platforms for boat repair. The student population (ca. 50% of the site's demographic) has no comfortable, protected place in the harbor to hang out. There is no simple, efficient connection across the harbor, so everyone must circumnavigate the harbor on dry land. Further, the RDM Harbor lacks day and night attractions for both the local population and tourists.

In order to provide a revolutionary water transit system, an adaptive, mobile entity which is malleable and flexible is crucial. This system would be non-pollutive, affordable, reconfigurable, and perhaps modular or even self-deployable.  The design would provide platforms to circulate people through a wet environment and forge connections over or through the water.

As a flexible mechanism, this design would be capable of connecting all disparate buildings and installations present in the harbour - not just this Rotterdam harbour in particular - but as a universally-applicable solution for harbours worldwide. The system would forge temporary links where desired, regardless of activity or function, allowing people to travel to and from any point and cross the harbour freely, in a multitude of configurations and directions.

The Deployable Bridge is an efficient water transit system that provides a solution for these problems of the RDM Harbor. The bridge is an adaptive, mobile mechanism which supports individual and collective transportation. The bridge maximizes inhabitable surface area on the water by providing additional public space for other buildings in the harbor. It also can support various additional user activities by acting as a water taxi, a floating bike highway, a storage vessel, a pontoon for nautical repair, or a floating leisure platform with protective shielding from the rain and sun.

The design would be ideally quickly constructed and deconstructed and easily transported. The path direction could be defined and reconfigured by users with different needs, allowing the user to participate and interact with the transit system in line with personal preferences.  Participation modes might include navigating, pathfinding, powering, tack-on, tack-off, etc.

[edit] Deployable Bridge

author(s):Sarah Jean Roberts

The RDM Harbor, a ca. 115,000 M2 plot of water in Rotterdam, Holland does not currently meet the needs of its users. Students, boat engineers, sailors, and workings who frequent the site complain of the harbor's monotony, lack of sheltered public space, and insufficient platforms for boat repair. The student population (ca. 50% of the site's demographic) has no comfortable, protected place in the harbor to hang out. There is no simple, efficient connection across the harbor, so everyone must circumnavigate the harbor on dry land. Further, the RDM Harbor lacks day and night attractions for both the local population and tourists.


The Deployable Bridge is an efficient water transit system that provides a solution for these problems of the RDM Harbor. The bridge is an adaptive, mobile mechanism which supports individual and collective transportation. The bridge maximizes inhabitable surface area on the water by providing additional public space for other buildings in the harbor. It also can support various additional user activities by acting as a water taxi, a floating bike highway, a storage vessel, a pontoon for nautical repair, or a floating leisure platform with protective shielding from the rain and sun.


[edit] Connections

Babel Tower, SEPAC, Food CenteRDM, Knowledge Center, Veni-Vidi, Lusthof, Floating Theater

The preceding list includes the primary project connections of the Deployable Bridge. Additionally, the bridge can connect to any project present in the RDM Harbor.
