week 1: workshop

GOALS
The introductory week is the kick off for the design assignment. During this semester we will develop a living environment located in a rich green area.
Issues to be solved are how to integrate parking and green in this area and how to integrate working functions in the living neighbourhood.
The goals of this workshop
1. Theme research on ideas of mixing functions; LIVING+WORKING+GREEN+PARKING
2. Research on the different values of LIVING+WORKING+GREEN+PARKING in relation with scales Small, Medium and Large.
3. Research on the possibilities of LIVING+WORKING+GREEN+PARKING to enhance the living quality
4. To learn from other approaches, design methods and ways of representing an idea
5. To investigate the transition from public to private  
6. To analyse the site and relate the results to the theme research
7. First exercises working on building mass proposals to get a feeling for the scale and possibilities of the site

ASSIGNMENT
Find texts and images connected to the theme.
Develop the concept of the mix LIVING+WORKING+GREEN+PARKING
Pay attention to the transition from public to private on the S, M and L scales.
Groups: 2-3 students as in the design assignment throughout the semester. In order to achieve these goals, the workshop has a tight schedule for presentations & discussion and working in small groups. Furthermore, specific products will have to be developed. Students are asked to present material to allow everybody to learn from each others work and use this as input. The introductory week is similar to the starting work of a competition. The main goals and the strategy are defined.
The result of the introductory week is the starting point for the design project.

THEME
In order to prepare material for the semester, we will mainly work with GREEN+WORKING+PARKING as topics.
With GREEN we don’t mean the colour only, but all the natural resources to provide a livable environment.
LIVING + WORKING + GREEN is the main theme of our project and parking should be related to it [enable green living]. How can we integrate the demanded amount of parking in a green and enjoyable neighbourhood?
