Abstract

This graduation project focuses on improving the public space and pedestrian connections between the different neighbourhoods surrounding the station area of the Hague Moerwijk. In the present situation the station area of the Hague Moerwijk is not well accessible or visible from its surroundings and the existing qualities of the area are neglected. The area around this tertiary station of the Hague is well located within the city structure, but has insufficient connections to the network of public space and facilities surrounding the location. The project location is now a left over space between the several neighbourhoods around the station. However it could be transformed into a central space connecting the city and the neighbourhoods, as well as being an interesting living area in the Hague south west. To achieve the objectives for this graduation project, several literature has been reviewed and studies are done on the project location. Within this thesis the results of the research and the development of the design are described.
