analysis & design progression

The phases of design are separated by six operational principles. Considering the subsurface potentials, the first step is to improve ecosystem quality by repaving surfaces and creating open soil and plantable areas. Second, give each Lijnbaan neighbourhood its own distinct personality, as I did as an adult child. To do so, existing plan and infrastructure must be taken into account. Important in this case is the reuse of the Lijnbaan basement for logistics transport and water storage. Retain a portion of the building as a historical landmark and redevelop Lijnbaan as an experiment. Today, building relationships involved not only forms, but also the ground and subsurface. Adding intimacy elements to the design are a series of ground-level visual connections. Since each component has its own purpose, such as emergency situations, there were no significant changes to the mobility section. The only modification was the centralisation of logistics for Lijnbaan. rotterdam make it happen creative hub residential mixed conventional shopping building logistic service residential preserved part of lijnbaan ground for office underground gallery/ museum integrated online shop totem lines to culture (schouwburgplein) little forrest shopping park vegetation lines little forrest natural organic lines ruins monument lines to history (stadhuis)
