The focus of this project is the programmatic and spatial combination of living, working and recreation. By developing an abstract machine, different rhythms are incorporated and combined to create a design that responds to these dynamics. The design is a neighbourhood of non-standard dwellings and public spaces that gives room to multiple interpretations and living conditions. The context of the design is a derelict tramway site in the heart of Amsterdam. The movements and rhythms related to living, working and recreation are programmed into a dynamic machine in Maya. The machine is based on the different workings of the moirŽ effect. The complex output of this machine contains information like overlap, intensity, activity, passivity and merging. Data of the location and of the daily living pattern are subsequently put into this moirŽ machine. It is used in several different ways to generate structure in different scales of space, from the lay-out of the site to the shape of the interior. In the whole project, regions of merging generate new and unforeseen possibilities for interaction.
