Input so far

On this page the input given on the project will be displayed, updated when new input comes in.

The site

- Site needs more facilities, e.g. supermarket, shops.

- Green space is needed, trees, a park.

- It could use housing, but it would need to be cheap

- It's very empty and dark at night.

- Most people just visit for work and don't stay, they'll just take the ferry back home.

- People who work on the site mostly don't have an actual connection with NDSM, they just come there for work.

- Artists from the Kunststad really want to keep the festival site open and have been trying to shoot down development plans.

- Exhibition space is needed. People have tried but failed because of strict regulations.

- The people who live in the container houses are mostly Eastern Europeans staying for a couple of months maximum. They have no connection with the site.

Comments on first concept (art,artist, public)

- Try and include green space in or around it.

- There's no way a beginning artist would be able to afford a brand new studio and atelier at the same time.

- Living and working at the same location is something most artists wouldn't appreciate.

- Using the water is a positive idea.

- People appreciate the public function/route.

- Exhibition space is also appreciated.

Suggestions

- Create space for creative companies with a slightly higher budget, like architects and graphic designers. - Combine exposition space with shopping. - Create synergy between the Kunststad and the new building; the new building could be an addition with exhibition space or meeting rooms.

Comments by Tomasz & Chris

- Art, Artist & PUblic is sort of already there - Is this building really needed, what is the added value?
