Rooftop Project _ ZuidPlein 
WdKA Spatial Design Project


A NEW VISION ON LOST SPACES 








GEOGRAPHICAL CONTEXT


ZUIDPLEIN ROOFTOP


Prev / Next (1 of 1)



The site of our project is located on the roof of the big gallery of the
Zuidplein. This place is extremely dynamic because it has its own subway stop
and the bus station is located next to it. The rooftop of the Zuidplein, in
spite of a surface of 45000 square meters, is currently not used. Our investment
in this place is a first step towards its occupation. The rooftop is divided
into several levels of different heights and sizes, and can therefore offer a
variety of leisure activities and facilities. 









PROJECT
CONCEPT 


SHARPEN YOUR SIGHT WITH  GEOMETRY 


HOW CAN YOU GET A NEW PERCEPTION OF A SITE? 
HOW YOU GIVE A NEW VISION ON A SOCIAL AND A ARCHITECTURAL SPACE?



Privacy also comes into play when we talk about vision. The degree of intimacy
in this exhibition will therefore be gradual and the more we progress in this
project, the more important it will become. The work therefore offers a
perspective between the self and the common, the public and the private and how
to be fully part of this experience.



The feeling in this space must be able to correspond to being able to feel in
agreement with oneself, while being intervening in a community that the visitors
form.




 NEW ASPECT OF GEOMETRY

SHAPES FROM THE SITE TO CREATE PAVILLIONS 







The concept of this project is based on the principle of privatization of
vision. The general angle of view of a human is 120° and it is on this angle
that the structures are based. The project is also based on the principle of
isovist, the geometric shape containing all the points visible from a given
point of view in a given environment.

My intervention on this site is based on the game of anamorphosis. the site
itself is not only the simple canvas, the support of the exhibition; it becomes
one of the main actors. the placement of these elements along the route offers
us a game of perspective, of heights and a new point of view on space through
art. 

The mix between art and architecture forms a symbiosis on a site with a great
technical value, where the installation comes to give it potential for future
creations.
















PAVILLIONS



PEOPLE WANT TO SEE AND TO BE SEEN

Prev / Next (1 of 1)













In order to determine the shapes of the pavilions used on the rooftop, it was
decided to start with cubic shapes, 4 meters by 4.
In order to obtain interesting visual games between these and the different
levels of the place, the starting point was to form a grid on which were based
interesting visual points based on the pre-determined path.

From this grid, points determining the locations of the pavilions could be
defined. From these locations, a central point of view was placed on one of the
structures and from this point, all the possibilities of vision were traced.
When the visual crossed another structure, this one was adapted and divided on
the basis of the vision set.


The height of the horns is determined by the vision itself. The basic height of
the structures is 1m80, but the more you go up, the more the structures get
bigger due to the angle. Two heights can be determined depending on the
direction of the view.



PAVILLIONS



PEOPLE WANT TO SEE AND TO BE SEEN



All the pavillions are based on the geometrical shapes that you can find all
along the rooftop.
Each pavillions have a specific role during all the path.

The entrance is designed as the public can understand the concept behind the
forms; the vision is getting blocked and you arrived in the front of the
exhibition and see the differents structures.

The largest one is dedicated to create a meeting point, where informations and
talks about the life and history of the quarter. some photography is put onto
the different pannels and give the public a golbal vision of the site and the
living.

There is some individuals structures where people can get into and listen
interviews, watch pictures and isolate themselves to appreciate and understand
better the social act behind the exhbition.

The highest pavillions are made for the night part of the exhibition, where
people can participate to a mapping show, screening of documentary, and sonor
installations. There are placed next to the path, on each level of the rooftop.

The others one are made to interact beetween them and made a play of vision
beetween the different parts and levels of the rooftop.
