Ecology of Purpose

Landscape types The terrain of De Grote Beek is essentially located at edge of the Kempen area. As such its geomorphoogy was defined at the end of the ice age, where the eponymous stream formed as a creek with the melting of the ice cover. The creek was part of a larger network which was draining the sand drifts. The fine sediment which now still characterises this landscape was moved and shifted continuously until the melting of the ice cover ended and the water had drained. 1

Healing environment

Historic structure and ecosystems The extent of the terrain was roughly defined by roads, which existed when the site was still a healthland. Two of these corridors a of imoprtance. Firstly, Boschdijk (1810s) - an elevated road, which crossed the heathlands and connected Eindhoven with Den Bosch, was constructed on commission of Napoleon and as part of his infrastructural development program, which can facilitate trade between the Netherlands and France, via Liege.

Secondly, the railroad (1860s) connecting Eindhoven and Den Bosch.

At the end of the 19th century the heathlands were transformed into a pine tree plantation which provided timber for the reinforcements of mining tunnels in Limburg. This new purpose required that the wetness of the lanscape be drastically reduced. To achieve this a rabatten landscape was constructed.

It is characterised by a grid of lanes flanked by ditches, which drain the fields within the grid. The fields have a corrugated topography which allowed for pine trees to be planted at the higher areas, while excess ground water would be drained in the lower areas, and eventually to the ditches. This history resembles the common practices in the Netherlands, where the majority of forests were planted as coniferous forest on heathland and sand drifts. 2

Challenge Clusters

As a result, the dominant content of the soils in the area of de grote beek is sand and clay.

Due to the continuous movement of the water and the shifting topography, the concentration of sand and clay varies. This map illustrates this variety, which seems to be consistent with the historic route of the stream.

88 89

Apart from the pine plantation there are two ecosystems, which characterise the historic state of the De Grote Beek - in the north area a field of heather was left out of the plantation were as it was too low and therefore too wet to be reclaimed. The second, was an array of farming fields of more or less identical size, located within the pine

The first forest in the area was the coniferous plantation from the late 19th century. At the turn of the century, the vast majority of these trees were harvested.

Currently, almost all tree on the terrain were planted in 1930s, when the therapeutic activities of the Rijkspsychiatrische Inrichting De Grote Beek extended in the landscape in the form of ‘‘being in nature’’ and ‘‘working on the land’’.

The soil make-up of De Grote Beek and its surroundings, is similar, where a distinction is made in the physical structure and stratification of clay and sand. On the terrain, the brook valley is characterised by a homogeneous mixture of particles, while the rest is clearly stratified with sand cover above a clay bed.

In effect, De Grote Beek is fragment of the Groene Woud, and extends this regional natural network far into the city of Eindhoven. As such De Grote Beek shares common history and features with other parts of the Groene Woud, yet a range of highways, roads, and railroads isolate it, and prevent free movement.

The forest of Landgoed De Grote Beek in context, reveals that its historic relationships, with the Herdgang and Wielewaal, are still legible in the morphology. Further on, its build-up in terms of tree species and landscape structure very much the same. The main differences, arise from the difference in purpose and 16

All ground and surface water which passes through the site comes from the west vis Wielawaal and Herdgang. In the northern part water moves predominantly on the surface via ditches, canals and the brook. In the southern part it moves mostly along the edge through the city’s sewer system.

The movement of water on the terrain is distinctly uneven, resulting in local susceptibility to floods or droughts. The north experiences floods, especially since 2007, when the when the Philips pump was taken out of operation. The south is severely dry as the water from PSV’s training camp is drain into the sewers.

Due to its higher ground, the middle section of the terrain is naturally dryer, making it difficult to DRAFT VERSION, 01.07.2019 19 maintain the ponds.

Roughly 10% of the terrain is impermeable to rainwater. Depending on the pavement and drainage system, some areas offer opportunities for local water collection. The diversity is vegetation also definnes the capacity ground water storage, where richer root systems and dense canopies play a crucial role.

Building stock value

Foiling the structural elements in 1905, three practices acted at an ecological scale: the soil quality and the presence of sheep maintained the dominance of heather; the demand for pine wood defined the extent of the plantation, and the need to produce food has produced and maintained the farmlands.

Security and visibility require extensive grass fields that are cut regularly, outdoor therapeutic animal care resulted in graze lands, and outdoor productive therapy creates and maintains gardens, flowerbeds and meadows. Finally the need for biodiversity, required the intensive grass fields that are cut once a year.

Each zone of the site operates under a distinct configuration of control and freedom. In particular this chapter looks at these zones from the point of view of the landscape and the clients and visitors of De Grote Beek. Essentially, control and freedom are a function of power. Those who have the power can decide where and how much freedom will be available on site.

Degrees of structure over landscape Healing environments This map visualises the notion of healing environment as it is perceived by a variety of clients of De Grote Beek. This will be shaped, either by the department and its limitations or by the area where they participate in activities, or simply the areas they prefer to spend time in.

Psychological dimensions

Perceived

An ecology of disturbance becomes evident, when one looks at how specific client groups avoid. The reason for this can be either because other groups of clients spend time there to light fireworks and thus cause nuisance, or simply because there is a physical element, such as the power line, which causes fear.

Sources of Disturbance

Interpretative

Sources of Fear

This chapter reconciles the environmental and mental aspects described thus far. This focuses on a more personal reading of all previous maps in overlap or in juxtaposition. In the first part this chapter problematises the idea of control over people, and confronts it with the practices of control over the landscape.

Sources of Pleasure Sources of Healing

Following this, the chapter visualises both mainstream and marginalised landscape-making practices. In response to the chapter of perceived landscape, this sections re-constructs the invisible structures that hold the site together, as well as those fragment it.

Things that are missing Things to keep

Finally, This chapter extrapolates on some of the economic and technical data to speculate on what might be possible futures for the site, if its development focused on topics such as water buffers, photovoltaic energy, minimum requirement, and local drug filters.

How to make the invisible visible?

Sources: [for each map]

One of the instruments of power for the institution of GGZE is its security staff and infrastructure. From the point of view of the infrastructure it becomes evident that the institution is practically ‘blind’ in the forests, leaving a power gap which can be exploited on-demand by both the site’s visitors and the site’s inhabitants.

The idea behind this section is to extrapolate the existing qualities and potentials of the site. For instance: What would the site look like if its development focused exclusively on its potential to act as a water buffer/reservoir for the city? a relevant example is central park as well as kralingse bos, which both have a large man-made lake that acts as both a reservoir and a water network which helps with buffering excess water.

What would the site look like if its development focused on its potential to acts as Eindhoven’s ‘lung’? How much more forest does the site need?

What would the site look like if its development focused on expanding on activities and programs which target exclusively the clients of the terrain?

What would the site look like if its development focused on the production of energy to satisfy local need? How much energy can be produced if all roofs were equipped with solar panels?

What would the site look like if What would the site look like if it would focus on What bad qualities need to be remedied? How?

Accessibility and movement play crucial role in establishing an appropriate level of security on the site. A total of 2km of fences have been introduced to delimit and control the movement of people and animals. In the case of Woenselse Poort, this is accomplished by two layers of fences.

48

Visibility is the second factor defining the quality and extent of security measures on the site of De Grote Beek. This map illustrates the areas where the security cameras and street lights are located on and around the edges of De Grote Beek. The areas in gray are practically invisible to the institution.
