Task

For the assignment in the second semester, we focus on a site in The Hague Zuid-West, a post-war district where many changes are in the making (see presentation and plan). The Placemaking Department of the municipality of The Hague helped us find a workspace in Zuid-West and guides our project within the cooperation with housing companies.

The students use a variety of research tools to build knowledge about and relationships with the neighborhood. From these, they filter relevant challenges for the INSIDE research area of 'the relationship that people, as users, have with their immediate living environment'. From these challenges, the participating students develop a series of spatial design proposals for (temporary) interventions in the public or enclosed space of the neighborhood to strengthen the most diverse places where people come together and communities emerge.
