THESIS DESIGN PROJECT - SCHIEDAM, NETHERLAND

M.Arch - Year 02 - Semester 02

The primary goal of the thesis project is to create a recreational wellness center that will complement the masterplan's wetland park. Managing the flow of visitors, commuters, and meeting attendees is a vital component of the project because the retreat center is situated in a critical area of our design and so becomes a significant space for the entire urban project. Extensive consideration of circulation and how the retreat becomes an important component of the urban area was one of the design's main concerns. The various steps of the design process are examined in this report, starting with the initial research and concept creation of the brief and moving on to the site analysis and consideration of the smaller aspects and functions that comprise a retreat center.
