CONCEPT

Lecture 1 : Ideation

Addressing an issue:
Social (inclusion of homeless, skaters)
Climate (pollution, weather shelter)
Environment (collecting water for plants)
Privacy (data collection)
pandemic & isolation (communication)
Extending the public space towards water (river, canal, lake)
Water Taxi - a piece of furniture that improves the waiting experience?
Incorporating sound & light installations - interactivity
Transformability of form (adjusting to climate, movable)

Lecture 2 : Ideation

- Display of data regarding the watertaxis (schedule, booking, etc.)
- Weather + wind shelter.
- Interaction between stops.
- Offering games to make waiting more fun (Quiz, pong, catch the light, jump'n'run games, etc.)
- Inclusion of insects, plants, groups of people
- Educational aspect: Raising awareness of an issue by monitoring and displaying sth./
providing (historical) info about the area.
- Actuation sensors integrated in the cavities of the voronoi structure.

Lecture 3 : Preliminary design

Guiding principles for the 3rd week of conceptual design - Narrowing down:

- Shelter
- Componential logic?
- Visual connection
- Circle - you can go underneath, on top
- Space-defining shape (maybe circle)?
- Interaction between stops
- Form reacting to structural requirements - parts that are denser and those which are more porous
- Willemskade - water taxi stop
- 5 people
- 5 components
- Sensors - visual ones, audio, movement?
- View platform (as opposition to a shelter)?
