The general idea of the project is based on establishing agriculture, and architecture of the programs linked to it, as the hinges between the urban environment and the rural adjacent; the aim of this project where we draw our full attention, and all interventions developed along the territorial scale of the Rotterdam; Taking advantage of the economic gaps and areas lacking green, which are set on the outskirts of the North, both Rotterdam and adjacent municipalities, through specific interventions are connected by agriculture and green locomotion, generating a new agro-arquitectonica hinge linking Rotterdam society with their immediate natural environment through primeval activity in the composition of cities.The architectural piece is located in the urban limit (West side) of the municipality of Vlaardingen, near Rotterdam.
The plot is defined by its location in what is nowadays a park without hardly any use lack of connections with the surrounding urban fabric, and it´s limited on one of its sides by a channel that acts as a fissure or urban-rural limit.
The project is defined because of it´s original conception of an element that is directly linked to their constructive and structural nature from different areas and points of action: the formalization of the elongated part is based on a grid of modulator and structural character of 4 x 4 meters, which alters the order according to programmatic needs, spaces, and structure.So it´s fruit of a 16 m wide on ground floor and 18 in the upper floor containing a variety of programs with a maximum of 12 metres between support lights. These two floors are defined as two elements of separate worlds according to programs that contain and directly link to the concepts of the estereotomic and the tectonic conception of structural definition.
