I designed a restzone in
the city that renews itself under the influence of the
weatherconditions. This waterlandscape is orientated according to
the winddirections. Most of the time wind and rain come from
south-west direction. The primary circulation axis is perpendicular
to this direction. The secondary axes are parallel to this
direction. The primary axis can be used under any circumstances. It
will always be a dry path. Next to this axis I created a sitting
zonde or shore, located under groundkevel next to an artificial
'river'. At some places the restzone has a roof to protect from
wind, rain and sun. The plaza can be understood as it has been
naturally formed by erosion. The natural slopes make the rainwater
visible and make some parts of the plaza inaccessible. When there
is sun, rain, snow or ice, the plaza can be experienced in a
different way and it will get a different use.
