there are three main axis of movement into the region around the site [image 1]. these axial movements are critial in connecting with the NDSM ecosystem entry and exit ports. the link to the dock can be seen as the most obvious connection; although too far away for physical connection; an axial connection can be established.

Other than people transition other critical issues needs to be addressed; these issues seemly can reinforce the creation of transition and transition spaces:

Pedestrian flow can be seen as a major aspect within the site; currently the site is used for carparking, which allows alot of public flow in towards NDSM; similarly the addition of functions around the site [image 2] will create new flows, between private , selected and public categories. this site's potential to mix these types of people can create new social inteventions, allowing a more open and more transparent NDSM [Image 3].

NDSM has a lack of secondary functions, supporting utilities and basic infrastructure; services and supporting functions can be seen as a program used to help glue a community together; the need of toilets, shops, carparks, workshops, storage can be seen vitally important. creating sense of convience

Similarly Temporarilty seems to be a major characteristic within NDSM. the functions seem to have a temporary nature; coming and going within days, weeks, months even years. the festivals, artistic studios, offices, exhibition spaces, parks, workshops, all have temporary and rather unfixed time schedules; making NDSM and the site an adaptive machine.
