Abstract

The project proposes a new system for making the co-existence of agriculture (and green in general) and the infrastructure possible. This infrastrucutre of mobility connects the Schiphol region of the Netherlands within itself via a network of several different means of transportation. In this region, the dominant elements of the architectural design include the Schiphol Airport and the agricultural fields neighboring it. In the design problem, the project plot (100m x 100m) is to be chosen from the area of 7.1 km2 depending on the designer’s choice. This kind of a variety regarding the position of the project plot is given in the problem definition of the designer because; handling the problem of transforming constraints (involving the infrastructure, noise levels or the climate conditions or wind, light, etc) is given prior significance. The proposed system aims finding a remedy for being responsive towards the transformation of the constraints that exist and will be existing for the particular region.
