The program is a cancer centre, involving therapy spaces, living rooms, and most importantly public spaces for patients and families to share information and spend everyday life. The chosen location is Floreweg in Amsterdam, a place where industry, old/new living area and nature meet. The challenge is this location is adjacent to industry buildings and busy traffic which most people(the patients) don’t like, the good thing is it has a very nice natural surrounding to the east and north. My research topic is how to create stress releasing spaces for cancer patients and families. And of course, we all accept nature is good to help people to relax and stimulate good feelings. Thus, the main intention is to make a transition from the urban surrounding(especially the industry) and then make most use of the existing natural elements(the lovely woods and grass slops) to create nice interior/exterior environment for people. The design theme is to explore different interactions between inside spaces and their outside environment according to the specific location they are in the site. Diverse relation with the outside nature will be experimented to achieve diverse qualities(architecturally, sections showing the relationships with outside space is very important)
