1 Amsterdam zuidas

2 Geographic situation ASSIGNMENT Railway stations in Europe, and specially those related with the High Speed Train (HST), are embracing greater areas than the building itself. Some of these areas are inadequate for mobility, marginal to urban fabric and unattractive, (in)directly showing social, economical and environmental burdens at several scales. New design approaches are required! This is an opportunity to rethink the station buildings as well as their urban surroundings, balancing their roles as infrastructural nodes and places in the city. To understand how architecture can improve the performances of these spaces in different cultural and physical contexts, Amsterdam Zuidas is chosen as case studie. The aim of the MSc3 project is to develop design guidelines for a HST station and its surrounding area. Firstly, researching in groups in order to define theoretical and operative frameworks. And secondly, in groups or individually, testing and improving these frameworks using research by design on a proposal for one of the sites. To support it, lectures by experts on the field will be given, and the location will be visited. Capital city of The Netherlands 220 km inhabitants Bron: Afstudeer groep Hybribbuilding zuidas - september 2009

3 Amsterdam CS Location zuidas Schiphol

4 Problem 1: Missing links The connection to the centrum of Amsterdam is weak and needs some links to make the network better between Zuidas and Amsterdam centrum. Beethovenstraat is the most used to Amsterdam centrum Beethovenstraat is well connected to the centre of Amsterdam and the Parnassusweg is well connected to Schiphol. To stimulate the connection from the centre of Amsterdam and Schiphol we need to connect the Beethovenstraat with the Parnassusweg well. Also from the Europaplein is the centre of Amsterdam easy to reach. So connecting the central point of Zuidas with that point stimulates the connection to Amsterdam central. missing links Existence Roads Impression Rogier Staal

5 To stimulate the connection north-south and east-west there are some roads needed to add according to Muirits de Hoog. By adding some roads I tried here to make a better network connection. Existence Road Central Pedestrian area Motorway Added Road Scale: 1/6000 road network Ahmed Al-Saidi

7 functions Bron: Afstudeer groep Hybribbuilding zuidas - september 2009

8 Most of the functions around the station are private functions. That s one of the reasons dat there is not a livable public sphere in that area. Public vs Private Bron: Afstudeer groep Hybribbuilding zuidas - september 2009

9 Problem 2: Emptiness Most of the functions around the train station are private functions. That is one of the reasons why people don t stay for long time in this area. To give the people a reason to stay in the area we have to place public functions in the central point. Shopping streets and squares as resting / relaxing points are good public functions. Squares

10 Adding a shopping street in the centre of the area wil make the site more livable. Shopping street

11 As we see from the weather diagram that almost the half of the year is raining in the Netherlands. So there is need voor a roof a long the shopping streets to make shopping atractive also in wet weather. Bron: Afstudeer groep Hybribbuilding zuidas september 2009 Time USER IN TIME ZUID-AS Shops and horica are good public functions to stimulate the public realm. For an extra function near the train station is a Hotel needed especially for the international travellors.

12 Problem 3: Lost in space The dimensions of the buildings and squares are enormous for the human scale. The plinths of the buildings are too high and the materials feel hard for the eyes. That s the next reason why the public space doesn t work well at the Zuidas. dimensions 108 m

13 Problem 4: Barrieres The A10 plus the train tracks forms a very large barrier for the connection north-south physical as well as visual. Especially the A10 produce a lot of noise which makes the A10 biggest barrier. barrieres Scale 1:4000
