Alies KoreeGaaster[land-goed]Create your own type of stay, within and in harmony with the surroundings

Architecture

The plan Gaaster[land-goed] demonstrates a new contemporary way of relaxing at a holiday park, in which the contact between the user and the surroundings is key. The current developments in the field of holiday parks in the Netherlands consist of large-scale parks. The parks constitute almost complete village extensions in themselves with an entirely unique style, level of facilities and accommodations. A similar ‘all-inclusive’ range prevents the holiday-maker entering and exploring the surroundings. With this park layout, hardly any use is made of the local qualities and facilities present, in spite of the fact that the holiday maker in the year 2015 increasingly demands authenticity, contact with nature and the surroundings. The plan Gaaster[land-goed] demonstrates how an existing but unused country estate can be transformed into a new, contemporary small-scale holiday park with houses as part of a larger recreational network. The holiday maker can, on the basis of the desired atmosphere and degree of privacy, choose his or her ideal place to stay at the park and thus experience the surroundings optimally. By linking the holiday park, the surroundings and the regional facilities with each other, a sustainable recreational network is created, which is tailored to the experience of the holidaymaker.

New strategic networkGaasterland is, with all its contrasts, a unique densely-wooded coastal area in Friesland. The chosen location is located at the edge of the Rijsterbos country estate. These abandoned grounds surrounding the monumental villa have the potential to be used better. The new strategic network ensures that the location is interwoven, both visually and functionally, with the Rijsterbos country estate. The recreational network can be expanded simply in the future by linking both new and existing facilities and holiday accommodation with each other. Because the business owners focus on one specific facility, instead of an ‘all-inclusive’ system, the quality of the network in strengthened and thus the (recreational) functioning of the surroundings.

DesignThere are no individual plots with private front garden and parking spot at Gaaster[land-goed]. The houses are positioned in so-called clusters, each with its own atmosphere and degree of privacy. In addition, the clusters make it possible to stay at the park both as a group and individually. In this respect, the plan caters for the current accommodation needs; people want to relax together, but are also fond of their own privacy. The chosen building method is inspired by a traditional construction principle, which has been frequently used in recreational building. The system is easily expandable and applicable on the basis of a basic principle. As a result of this, it can be tailored to a variety of uses and the specific location in an efficient way. The variety in terms of positioning, orientation and design gives the holidaymaker the opportunity to tailor their stay to personal preferences. Almost all (re)used materials come from the region.

Your own unique spot in the forest. Be amazed by the diverse landscape time and time again. Feel the atmosphere of the surroundings, even in your house; the view and materials from the forest. There is space between the houses to meet and come together, while there is also space to retreat near your house. Take off and explore the surroundings or read a book on your own veranda. ‘Create your own type of stay within and in harmony with the surroundings.’

Amsterdam Academy of Architecture

Architects, urbanists and landscape architects learn the profession at the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture through an intensive combination of work and study. They work in small, partly interdisciplinary groups and are supervised by a select group of practising fellow professionals. There is a wide range of options within the programme so that students can put together their own trajectory and specialisation.With the inclusion of the course in Urbanism in 1957 and Landscape Architecture in 1972, the Academy is the only architecture school in the Netherlands to bring together the three spatial design disciplines under one roof. Some 350 guest tutors are involved in teaching every year. Each of them is a practising designer or a specific expert in his or her particular subject. The three heads of department also have design practices of their own in addition to their work for the Academy. This structure yields an enormous dynamism and energy and ensures that the courses remain closely linked to the current state of the discipline. The courses consist of projects, exercises and lectures. First-year and second-year students also engage in morphological studies. Students work on their own or in small groups. The design

projects form the backbone of the syllabus. On the basis of a specific design assignment, students develop knowledge, insight and skills. The exercises are focused on training in those skills that are essential for recognising and solving design problems, such as analytical techniques, knowledge of the repertoire, the use of materials, text analysis, and writing. Many of the exercises are linked to the design projects. The morphological studies concentrate on the making of spatial objects, with the emphasis on creative process and implementation. Students experiment with materials and media forms and gain experience in converting an idea into a creation. During the periods between the terms there are workshops, study trips in the Netherlands and abroad, and other activities. This is also the preferred moment for international exchange projects. The Academy regularly invites foreign students for the workshops and recruits wellknown designers from the Netherlands and further afield as tutors. Graduates from the Academy of Architecture are entitled to the following titles: Architect, Master of Science; Urbanist, Master of Science and Landscape Architect, Master of Science.
