status: competition (2009) |
The entry for the competitoin NAC (Nature Activity Centre) Oostvaardersland
comprises three elemental parts:
- a vision for a new experience of the unique natural features of
the Oostvaardersplassen. The existing dike, formerly the border between
land and sea, gets a new spatial meaning as a 18 km long nature-boulevard,
linking a wide range of natural environments.
- a building deriving from this vision and forming the main entrance
to the nature reserve. The building is part of a range of attributes
attached to the dik, providing access to the adjoining environments.
It blends into the landscape and forms a framework for the educational
and recreational programs required in the brief and anticipates easily
on future modifications.
- a landscape design and recreational concept for a restricted area
of the reserve. The natural processes are not interruped or transformed
but have been made accessible by introducing a grid of special routes
and viewpoints / flyovers. |
