Structure
The main construction of the building is independent from the structure of the facade. The main construction is inspired by the project Sendai Mediatheque by Toyo Ito. Here the main structure are columns that wear the floors and the flat roof. In the Wave Phenomena the colomns will work as a tree where the facadestructure is connected at critical points.
The main structure
A lot of different expositions will take place in the infocenter therefore the plan must be flexible. Columns give a free plan with a lot of opportunities for the exhibitions. Also because of the big groups of visitors, a free and spacious room is required. The main structure will be groups of columns of steel. Inspired by the design construction of Toyo Ito's Sendai Mediatheque. [1]
The structure of the facade
The facade must be open and light, therefore there will be a lot of natural daylight in the building. Also the structure must be light-weight, self-stabilized and partially self-supporting.
The structure of the facade of the building is inspired by the trick with the orange. The pattern that appears when you pull the parts of the orange apart is the inspiration of the construction of the facade. As visible in the pictures below, the main structure will support the facade structure on several critical points.
Materials
The main structure of the building will be made of steel. The facade will be a combination of a steel construction and ETFE.
Photovoltaics will be integrated in the membrane. More info will be put on the wiki soon.
Access
The Wave Phenomena is accesseble by different ways.
accessibility by land
By the pier and by the public landscaping route Continuality.
accessibility by projects
Ez RDM: A direct route is between the Ez RDM and the Wave Phenomena.
Transport Hub: Bridge from the Transport Hub through Continuality through the Wave Phenomena.
accessibility by water
Islands. The Islands float between all the projects of the RDM Area.
Public route
Amount of users
At the Website : engineeringtoolbox.com you can find how many users are allowed in a building. The Wave Phenomena is the passage for (new) visitors and visitors for the ICDubo (sustainability exposition).
The number of users of other projects (per day): (from the wiki)
Babeltower: 200 - 1000
Rejuvenative Sandwich: 500
Veni-Vidi Hotel: 100
Lusthof: 80
Variations 100 - 200
DwellingGrover: 40
Water Morphs: 100 - 200
Floating theater: 500 - 600
RDM area: 1000
The total is about 4000 visitors per day for other projects.
Capacity of visitors per activity
From the website it is known that in a museum or library, every person needs 3 - 10 square meters. In the InfoExchange there is about 2000 square meters, so there is place for 200 - 600 visitors. In the exhibition room for ICDubo, there is also place for 200 - 600 visitors. The capacity of the Wave Phenomena
For offices and meeting rooms are other rules. There are workplaces for about 50 - 100 employees. Meeting rooms require about 1.5 square meters per person. The Wave Phenomena can receive about 100 - 130 people at the same time for congresses, workshops or presentations.
Conclusion
The Wave Phenomena expects about 50 - 100 fixed visitors per day. The sustainability exposition and meeting rooms expects about 300 visitors per day. The InfoExchange is for all visitors who want information about the RDM area and the projects. The expectation is that a quarter of the daily visitors will visit the InfoExchange. That is about 1000 visitors per day. The other 3000 visitors walk between the two compartiments of the Wave Phenomena, under the bridges.
