HISTORY OF IJSSELOMNDE

IJSSELMONDE POLDER

ROTTERDAM ZUID

During the frst half of the twentieth century the area of Rotterdam Zuid, now known for neighborhoods such as Hoogvliet, Pendrecht, Zuidwijk, Lombardijen en IJsselmond, consisted of agricultural bowl shaped Polders who were separated by dikes.

The construction of the Maashaven led to an economic growth and an infux of people originating from Zeeland and Noord Brabant who moved to Rotterdam for work. To provide housing for these new inhabitants the city of Rotterdam annexed the municipality of Charolais just across the bridge and along the Maas. In an efort to provide housing the neighborhoods Afrikaanderwijk, de Bloemhof, Tarwebuurt, Carnissebuurt and Charlois were constructed. Due to their proximity to the harbour and industrial activity and the bad quality of the dwellings these neighborhoods were unsuccessful and did not appeal to the native inhabitants of Rotterdam.

In 1921 M.J. Granpre Moliere, P. Verhagen and A.J.th.Kok designed the urban plan for frst Tuindorp as an extension for Rotterdam-Zuid.The concept of the urban plan was to integrate nature into the city and to relate to the rural surroundings by designing a fan like structure. Within this fan each neighborhood had its own character surrounded by green borders. The plan was not executed but remained the key concept for further urban developments after the second world war

In 1938 Witteveen en Verhagen presented the plan Het streekplan IJsselmonde, an investigative study of the driving factor in the development of IJsselmonde. Rotterdam was divided into four industrial zones and Rotterdam-Zuid remained a residential area which needed to be developed and connected to Rotterdam to provide housing. During the second world war construction and planning came to a stop.

At the end of the 50th Rotterdam concluded that with the addition of Overschie, Schiebroek, Zuiderwijk, Pendrecht and Lombardijen the housing shortage was not resolved. Densifcation in the north of Rotterdam was not possible so the decision was made to add a fourth neighborhood in the south; Groot IJsselmonde.

In 1957 the urban plan voor Groot IJsselmonde en Lombardijen was made by Peter van Drimmelen. This plan concluded the urban expansion towards the south Rotterdam.

Between the four neighborhoods in the south some distinctions can be made. Zuidwijk has a staggered urban composition with clear organization of neighborhoods; Pendrecht is mirrored repetition surrounding a ‘core’, Lombardijen and Groot-IJsselmonde are a concentric composition inspired by antroposofe.

PETER VAN DRIMMELEN

Van Drimmelen started to work for de Rotterdamse Dienst voor Stadsontwikkeling under Cornelis van Traa (who designed the city’s postwar reconstruction plan) in 1947. Van Drimmelen was, like many of his contemporaries, inspired by several theoretical concepts developed mostly in the US and the UK around the start of the twentieth century that searched for solutions for the dense, unhealthy and unhygienic workers’ living conditions in rapidly industrialized cities and regions. At the core of these concepts was not only health, but also community and socialisation. His structural organization of the neighborhood is based on a number of theoretical concepts:

Gelede Stad

The ‘Gelede Stad’ of W.F. Geyl from Rotterdam municipal ofce Gemeentelijke Werken, based on the neighborhood unit (‘wijkgedachte’) as developed by Clarence Perry and the Garden City concept of Ebenezer Howard. The ‘wijkgedachte’ is a model of social order in the city, ranging from the house, the neighborhood, the district to the city. It rooted in Dutch urban planning through the so called Groep Bos, a group of architects and civil servants founded by Alex H. Bos, director of the Rotterdamse Dienst voor Volkshuisvesting. Geyl’s concentric organization ranged from house to neighborhood to district to borough to city and functioned as a counteract on the desocialization and individualization of city dwellers. This process of recovering humanity and collectivity could not be implemented top down, but had to be created bottom up, for which this scheme was considered to be the katalysator (Blom, Jansen, Heide, 2004, 17) – De typologie van naoorlogse wijken

Tree Structure

Based on the Gelede Stad, Drimmelen designed IJsselmonde (and Lombardijen) on the structure of a tree, or the human body. The borough’s center was the trunk, or the heart, from where branches (wijken), twijgen (woonstraten) and nerven (woning) ran out.

He considered the neighborhood too large as an entity to create the sought after community feeling. He was inspired by the face to face group and in Lombardije, he divided each neighborhood into two ‘woongroepen’ of 350 to 500 dwellings.

Van Drimmelen was inspired by Austrian philosopher Rudolph Steiner and his antroposophical ideas. Perhaps more than his contemporaries, Van Drimmelen focused on the individual and his development in life. People should feel free, children should grow up in an environment that supports their development. He saw the neighborhood as the social training territory for kids – here they could learn how society works.

Van Drimmelen states that people should be able to fnd relief from daily life and hectic cities in their living environment. They need relaxation, recreational living. In every phase of life, they should feel at home in their neighborhood. Especially children, who gain impressions here that are decisive and formative factors for the rest of their lives.

Face To Face group

C.H. Cooley, a community in which everybody knows each other face to face counts 300 to 600 people. To achieve this village‐like characteristic, Drimmelen subdivided the neighborhoods/districts into two ‘woongroepen’, divided by a neighborhood garden (buurttuin).

INFLUENCE OF THE NAM

NAM

In 1956, the plan for IJsselmonde was approved by the city council, but in the meantime the Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (N.A.M.) had found oil in the south of Rotterdam and started extracting oil in IJsselmonde. There was no place left to build so the housing plans did not relocate, and Van Drimmelen had to look for ways to integrate the NAM felds in his urban plan.

Twenty of the thirty drilling sites are located within the neighborhood. They where placed hidden behind trees and bushes to integrate them in their surroundings

URBAN ORGANIZATION CONCLUSIONS

URBAN GREEN

IJsselmonde is shaped by the green veins between the diferent neighborhoods and converge in to the ‘Twee Heuvelen Park’. Every neighborhood has it’s own little park. A lot of the green space between the buildings is unused and has little quality.

WATER STRUCTURES

The water structures create borders between the diferent urban morphologies within one neighborhood but not a border between the diferent neighborhoods them self. The water is usually shallow and has the function of water storage for this area.

URBAN ORGANIZATION

IJsselmonde has one main center ‘Keizerswaard’ where all infrastructure converges. Each neighborhood has it’s own little center which is designed according to the ‘Wijkdgedachte’.

BUILDINGS CONCLUSIONS

TYPES

The building types within IJsselmonde alternate between mid rise gallery fats and low rise row houses. Only the center and Sportdorp along the highway has high rise buildings. The urban structure scale with the building height.

HEIGHT

Towards the center and the north of IJsselmonde the building height goes up while on the outskirts the building height stays closer to low rise.

FUNCTIONS

Each neighborhood center has some smaller functions like shopping. The center has a larger shopping mall but the functions that would attract people from outside of IJsselmonde like the stadium or the parking are located on the outskirts.
