"Different Institutes operate in different ways
because they believe in different worldviews,
in other words they have different DNA"
CASE STUDY: BURGERWEESHUIS, Amsterdam, Netherland
Designed by Aldo Van Eyck | 1960
Van Eyck designed a space for 125 orphans. His design focused on a balance of forces to
create both a home and small city on the outskirts of Amsterdam.
It was commissioned as an orphanage for children of all ages
and includes sleeping quarters, a kitchen, laundry room, gym, library and administrative spaces.
The orphans were divided into 8 departments by same gender,
and younger than 10 years old kids were mixed together.
Here matrix layout, all of 9 plates
CASE STUDY
WHOLE
This plate I focused on how he designed the living space for kids,
I use two different colors to show the gender which is pink for girl, blue for boy,
and the purple one is the combination of two colors ( two gender and also the youngest )
to represent both gender live together, as well as the gradient of both color show the different age of kids.
And the purple circle one on the plan show the sharing space between department,
which different gender but same age they will share the general space together.
PART
For this plate show the sharing space between neighbor
and sharing space inside the department.
DETAIL
Deep to the detail, I classified the playground areas of the building
and all of these play elements were combined of simple shape,
as well as all of these were made by concrete as the material.
He believe that the abstract shape (opposed animal shape or figurative shape)
well stimulated children's imagination.
Children are free to imagine with the play element which it could be anything as they want
so the usage of it limited by the kid's imagination.
ARCHITECT
Van Eyck's over 700 playgrounds
This plates is about same architect but different project,
to study his idea, his style or his condition.
Before he designed the Amsterdam Orphanage, he was created many playground in the city of Amsterdam
which he believed that the playground is not only meant for children but it is one of public space where everyone could gathering and having interaction to others.
WHOLE
The space that he put his playground in always
unutilized, abandoned, destroyed spaces
so this will create the network site of his each project
PART
DETAIL
STYLE
Similar design and philosophy
