Samenvatting

Kanaleneiland in Utrecht is one of 40 problematic neighborhoods in The Netherlands. This project proposes a strategy for rebuilding the informal network of the district. It starts with the schools that open the spaces on their front and release their social programs. Then large surfaces of parking space will become the domain of different age groups. Seven new pavilions will facilitate nodes in this network and attract local initiatives. The roof top programs are connected by ramps, creating a new layer of playgrounds in the air. Large amounts of green will be planted inside this new urban park.
