Refugees, who fled from their country, have often experienced unimaginable tragic events. After a long and fatiguing journey, and likely to be traumatized and exhausted, they arrive at a place where food, shelter and various services are provided. Amongst them are mostly kids, for whom these events will form a memory which will be with them for the rest of their lives.

'Ascending' is about designing a living environment, a habitat, for immigrants, expats and refugees who are granted asylum. This habitat is meant to be a stepping stone in their integration process, in which they learn about Dutch culture, language and prepare to be fully adopted in Dutch society.  
 
+
PROBLEMS:
+
+
- The environment where these kids are given a new home will be the environment in which they will spend some years during an important period of their maturation. However, right now these environments are set up in short time with little attention for spatial hierarchies, individually varying specific demands, privacy and social safety. For kids, the world suddenly becomes no bigger than the camp they live in, which detrimental for their personal development.
+
 
+
- Producing and constructing housing in these camps takes too much time and are low quality in conventional (affordable) production methods
+
 
+
- In the Netherlands, almost 15% of total office space is unused. Maintaining these spaces costs money and energy.
+
 
+
GOAL:
+
 
+
''Using empty office space as a host for refugee housing units, by making an interior, parasitic system that can be installed in unused offices. The idea is that a mutual benefit of the two symbionts, being the refugees and the empty offices, will result in a symbiosis.''
+
 
+
''SUBGOALS''
+
  
- Integrating actuators into the components, to embed interactive systems employed for spatial reconfiguration and climate control, CO2 reduction, and distributed and renewable energy production.
+
The location of this centre is in the Europoint-towers in Rotterdam. The open floor plan and good connectivity make it a great location. The towers, which are now partially occupied to house offices, also have a growing amount of vacant space. This vacant space is believed to increase significantly in the near future, possibly resulting in the towers to be completely unused. The goal is to give a new purpose to these towers.
  
- Using different materials for units with different lifespans.
+
The main purpose of the habitat is to help immigrants integrate into Dutch society. The programme will therefore include, housing, study/meeting spaces, lecture halls and an information centre. To bring the immigrants in contact with Dutch citizens the building is designed with in mind continuity and transparency as key factors.
  
- Generate different arrangements, sizes, functions of units for different preferences and needs.
 
  
Parametric design and D2RP could streamline the design- and production-process to be more fitting to the needs of (traumatized) refugees, by rapidly generating and producing custom made living units and organizing them in a suiting formation in relation to their neighbours.

'''GOAL:'''
  
Key tasks for now are researching: the exact problems and needs of refugees; the amounts of refugees that arrive in and leave from camps; the composition and origin of families; the way refugees use their units' facilities; the spatial and sustainable possibilities to use office-space as a host.

ASCENDING INTEGRATION CENTRE

ABSTRACT

'Ascending' is about designing a living environment, a habitat, for immigrants, expats and refugees who are granted asylum. This habitat is meant to be a stepping stone in their integration process, in which they learn about Dutch culture, language and prepare to be fully adopted in Dutch society.

The location of this centre is in the Europoint-towers in Rotterdam. The open floor plan and good connectivity make it a great location. The towers, which are now partially occupied to house offices, also have a growing amount of vacant space. This vacant space is believed to increase significantly in the near future, possibly resulting in the towers to be completely unused. The goal is to give a new purpose to these towers.

The main purpose of the habitat is to help immigrants integrate into Dutch society. The programme will therefore include, housing, study/meeting spaces, lecture halls and an information centre. To bring the immigrants in contact with Dutch citizens the building is designed with in mind continuity and transparency as key factors.


GOAL:

DESIGN AN INTEGRATION CENTRE FOR IMMIGRANTS THAT PROVIDES HOUSING, COMMUNAL AND PUBLIC FACILITIES WITH THE MAIN PURPOSE OF AIDING THE INTEGRATION PROCESS
