Urban Strategy Connectivity

Landmark status

• Become the center of Amsterdam Science Park • Connect to existing park • Attract neighborhood by continuing park upwards into the building

• Rise above existing buildings (15m) • Deviate from existing architecture • No shadows from neighboring buildings

Interaction references The Cooper Union, NY Morphosis Architects, 2006

Interaction • 6 m wide - Vertical piazza results in many incidental meetings • Meeting spaces visually oriented towards the atria • Sky bridges connect the informal spaces • Elevators skip floors encouraging the use of sky bridges and the vertical piazza • Visible and accessible public spaces allows the neighborhood to interact and join in.

Atrium • 75% lit by natural daylight • Improved airflow

Simmons Hall, MIT Steven Holl, 1999-2002

MVRDV House, Rotterdam MVRDV, 2016

Interaction • Atria are the main interaction space, many incidental meetings can occur • Decentralized atria result in more personal gatherings • 3 meter corridors imitate urban streets • Relaxing functions are spread out, stimulating interaction and a home-like feeling.

Building • Atria’s allow natural indirect daylight to enter the building.

Interaction • All soundproof cells and ateliers are visually oriented towards the central interaction space.

• Linear dinner tables stimulate more interaction by avoiding clustering • Multi-colored work and play rooms create an identity and informal atmosphere • The stairs used for presentations also act as main interaction space Building • The high ceilings and roof lights result in natural indirect daylight

Tutors: H.H. Bier & S.Mostafavi & F. Adema

Workspace distribution Circulation

• Can result in incidental meetings - stimulates crossfertilization • Determines level of privacy in space • Way finding is increased by identity

Point of interests

Visual interaction

• Creates informal/incidental meeting opportunities • Spreading out POI’s = more personal interaction (less people - less anxiety)

• Transparent acoustic barrier can induce interaction and reduce distraction • Determines the likelihood of meeting

Tutors: H.H. Bier & S.Mostafavi & F. Adema

Circulation - Networking Rational Horizontal circulation

Organic Open

Vertical circulation

+ More incidental meetings, cross-fertilization + No curved surfaces, practical spaces

+ Longer incidental meetings - Less space efficient + Based on shortest distance

+ Encourages and stimulate interaction - Lack of visual or physical boundaries can lead to ineffective work behavior - Less incidental meetings

Slope

- Slow + Strong visual connection + Horizontal circulation is not disrupted + can be integrated with sitting/working platforms

Stairs

-/+ Fast -/+ Only induces interaction on horizontal platforms + Necessity in high rise building (fire escape) + Used as seating

Elevator

- Faster - No visual connection + Space efficient + Necessity in high rise building

Workspace concept Clustering

Varying work setups

Informal environments

?

• Clustering to stimulate collaboration • Allow for an activity-based work environment. Separate space for focus, collaboration and lounging, etc.

• Cross fertilization can lead to innovation

• Optimal working conditions vary a lot between users • Different tasks require different setups

• Variating visual stimuli can increase productivity • Freedom to change workspace can lead to increased creativity and productivity • Unique spaces can stimulate way finding and support startup identity

Workspace requirements Activity-based work environment (hourly)

Multi-functional landscape (minutes)

• Multitude of workstations with a gradient of privacy • Flexible partitioning to allow activities to be acoustically and visually separated • Switch easily between collaborative, focus, calling, lounging • Ergonomic: suitable for different body proportions

Able to grow (hourly)

• Separated spaces should be able to host more users if required • Create different workstation clusters depending on activity • Allow startups to merge their private spaces

Work

Relax

• No sun-shading required for work functions • Relaxing functions on each level

• Become the center of the science park • Let the park rise up in the building - invite neighborhood • Effectively use sunny side of the building

• Increase indirect daylight • Increase visual connections near the atrium • Passive climate system with atrium

Construction reference Toyo Ito - Sendai Mediatheque

Design rules

• Tubular construction can be used for light distribution (not in my case) • Honeycomb floor construction allows for irregular spacing between columns.

• Minimal construction and atrium = more daylight + stronger visual connections.

• Toilets, storage, elevators, pantry and fire escapes inside the tubular construction.

• Horizontal stability can be achieved by connecting split-levels or making one floor that reaches three sides of the building
