Key Project 1
Key Project 2
Overall, the master plan provided good guidance for working with the key area. Our main goal of flood resilience continued to be one of the main goals in developing the project. The area was not clearly defined in the master plan, which opened up a lot of possibilities, but also provided a little too much freedom.
Throughout the process, minor changes were made to the density and land use of the area. The northeast connections defined in the master plan will need to be further reviewed based on more information about future developments.
The masterplan gave a clear vision what is most important for this area: human-scale and water-sensitvity which was a very helpful guideline on a rather undefined keyproject location. In general was the analysis done for the whole masterplan area very important for a good understanding of the plot and its challenges. The masterplan did not give a clear answer how the keyproject area should be handled except from it being part of the green area. This gave lots of freedom to experiment within the boundaries of the vision. There were still some unsolved connections in the masterplan which lead to some minor adjustments of the motorized streets to be able to cross the highway. The park network also needed some changes now that the place was filled with program, but this does not disrupt the big picture and is still in line with the vision.
Flood District
Not a local place
However, the analysis that was conducted helped to better understand the area and its opportunities and made it easier to be able to define the area.
