transition

The project site is a square located on Nieuwe Binnenweg, which is a social and cultural meeting spot in Rotterdam. It is full of life and dynamism in contrary with the monotone neighborhood which is hidden from sight with the facades on Nieuwe Binnenweg. These buildings become like mock up facades that are misrepresenting the realty. In order to bring back honesty and to improve the quality, transition in architecture and functions is used as concept. Existing volumes are detached in to units and then dismantled to its smallest components. These pixilated elements are re-functioned and re-configurated in order to create more transparent and physically accessible urban blocks with life, activity, interaction.
