City evolution as a smart alternative to city expansion. Using existing city contours for densification. A research on how a main functional passageway between the old city center and the modernist city extension can be transformed from a concrete and eglected 'backcountry' into a future adaptive urban landscape with room to play, work and live with a social perspective.
Our transformation of the Gooiseweg starts with reviewing the width and profile of the road that almost resembles a highway It becomes obsolete if we look at future mobility and implement smart options. With that in mind we can downsize existing infrastructure and capitalize on this space.
This 130-acre area has a monotone function due to its modernistic heritage. By rethinking and restructuring car
infrastructure we can reshape the existing elevated road into a long stretched park. Surrounded by a livable city with contrasts between open and confined spaces, high-rise and low-rise and agitation and tranquility.
