Detail 03 · the building programme

The students wrote the requirements for their own house.

The building programme of 10 May 2017 is the document where the vision becomes concrete. Across ten chapters the students translate the values into dogmas, the activities into clusters, and the clusters into the rooms the house would need.

The building programme

Six dogmas for the house

Before the architects came in, the students translated the house’s values into six dogmas. These became the requirements for the rebuild.

01An exemplary beaconThe transformation from police station to innovation house · singular rooms · wow factor
02Stimulating surroundingsSensory means · immersion · diversity · interaction with the surroundings
03Demand changeThe users’ needs · functionality · productivity · balance · collaboration
04Create flowDesign · coherence · provocation · smart features
05Pervasive sustainabilityEvery element · materials · operation · user interaction
06Wellbeing and hyggeHome away from home · safety · intimacy

Four activity clusters

The building programme, chapter 6

The activities were organised into four clusters, which determined the rooms the house would need. The clusters can take up more or less space from one day to the next, so the rooms had to serve several purposes.

The CommonsThe house’s shared soul — the commons. The resources no one owns alone, but everyone owns together.Welcome area · the café · the stage · the marketplace · Maker Space · Zen Zone · Audio-Visual Studio
Student SocietyRelations between students, and between student organisations — more than 90 active societies.The co-working space · The Student Union Zone
Impact LabRelations between students and society. Ideas are developed, tested and prototyped with private, public and civic actors.The Workshop · The Nest
Social Science LabRelations between students, teachers and researchers. A laboratory run on the students’ terms.Workspace · the idea bank · the experiment room

From cluster to room

Chapter 6 to chapter 7

The clusters could take up more or less space from day to day. So the requirement was that every room should serve several purposes — not that every activity got its own room.
