There were a lot of green spaces that have not had anything build on them. Around the Binckhorst there were a lot of big roads that were quite dangerous and probably need some adjusting to make them safer. There were some big industrial towers that drew your attention in a good way. It’s a mix of a lot of different things, small and big businesses old and new buildings. There is still opportunity to improve on the area by adjusting old and unused spaces.

The main infrastructural clash is the presence of old buildings and modern ones. Empty and abandoned places where it could be improved adding multicultural places.

For the build part is harder for people to accept the change, in unbuild places is easier to support change, creating communal gardens for residents and giving more value to the neighbourhood

This will also satisfy the need for green spaces by the residents and ACCEZ.

What does a circular Binckhorst mean for materials and flows (waste, water, energy)? 

# data[].attributes.body
The Binckhorst already tries to reduce waste for the materials by for example, using the wasted wood chips for pottery baking, by making use of these waste streams/flows they already improve the flow from a linear to a circular flow. By introduction of the circularity the cycle continues to reduce the generated waste and so on.
Water is brought in from Dunea which is already a circular company reusing wastewater that is purified by sand.

For now, the Binckhorst main production of green energy is in solar energy. They do also have one windmill and there is a big possibility to increase that amount.

However, both water and energy produced here will also Africa due to their participation in the environmental fund. In Africa this water and energy can then also be reused for drip irrigation.

Find subjects that interest people. Existing stakeholders that don’t fit in to the traditional living area also go to those meetings. It will be beneficial to inspire residents to also join these meetings in order to promote a healthy relationship between all parties. This will also benefit the residents because their voice can help improve the real estate value of their own housing. In short, a good connection between all parties will improve the neighbourhood and everything in it.

Green spaces have to be made. This creates a higher value of living.  There has to be made sure that traffic of companies and factory’s does not go through most of the living spaces. This could cause to much noise and would be less safe for smaller children.  It is also needed that more facilities needed for residents will be in the binckhorst. Things like supermarkets and schools are needed. This is needed to relieve stress on the other ditricts.

Relocate small business that have to make room for other projects within the Binckhorst. Reuse the facilities of the area until permanent plans are made. Don't tear something down before there is a new use for it. In this way you are being circular with the facilites and the area.

In light of the plans for more living space in the area our intervention would be to construct raised walkways that would function as green veins within the Binckhorst area.
These raised parks would drastically improve walkability whilst also making room for more nature within the city without taking up much space and imposing as little restrictions on traffic and local businesses as possible.
Furthermore, basic necessities have to be met within the binckhorst area. (schools/ supermarkets/dentists/restaurants etc.)

1. A circular Binckhorst in terms of social relationship and networks means that companies and people that come live there help improve the neighbourhood as well and that the neighbourhood tries to create an environment that is pleasant to settle down in

Also by having people from different backgrounds and stages of life together it helps form social cohesion between the residents. It means that it is important to create public spaces in which people can come together.

2. A circular Binckhorst in terms of materials and flows (waste, water, energy) involves trying to make as many of the required materials for building etc closeby and to recycle as much as possible from old buildings etc. For example, materials that are classified as garbage in car factories can often be used in other companies in the Binckhorst.

3. A circular Binckhorst in terms of spatial relationships involves a balance between residential areas and industrial areas. As well as a balance between green spaces and the skyscrapers that will be built in the Binckhorst. It is expected that a minimum of 5000 but more likely 10.000 new homes will be created, mostly apartments.

4. Industry is very present in the area and mostly garages. It’s a difficult challenge to incorporate this into a new, circular, Binckhorst because they represent a traditional mobility, including CO2 emissions. Still many people rely on cars and on these garages so they should be incorporated in some way. Another thing that is truly representative of the Binckhorst are the ‘ugly’ industrial buildings. Some of these are easily transformed into a designer block, others not so much. But if these ‘ugly’ buildings are transformed and ‘polished’, do they keep their ‘Binckhorst’ identity or do they become something else?

5. If something doesnt ‘fit the picture’ it is ‘shoo’d away’. (conflict of space).

The tension between industry and residency (noise/smell disturbances and pollution)

The tension between industry and green spaces.

1. What does a circular Binckhorst mean when it comes to social relationships and networks?

Room for individual entrepreneurs (creators) to offer their services and products to local residents.
example: furniture makers; bakeries; artists, game maker company.

2. What does a circular Binckhorst mean for materials and flows (waste, water, energy)?

Preferred use of local materials in construction. Surplus energy generated by companies used for housing. Hard-surface areas should be replaced with permeable ‘green’ surfaces so that rainwater can infiltrate, reducing the need for wastewater treatment.

3. What does a circular Binckhorst mean spatially, in terms of the relationship between built and unbuilt environment?

Scales of open spaces should adhere to the thresholds needed to provide high quality innovative public transport systems. Public squares should be able to cater a variety of pop-up events like local markets, carnivals and theatre performances.

4. What do you think is truly representative of the area?

The aspect of change, because it is still being built
It seems like a cold industrial area, without aesthetics, but when you enter it is warmer; aesthetics

5. Which contradictions/tensions deserve attention?

Rich and poor, the cars on the street are either in desperate need of a new paint job, or Tesla’s.

They want more young people in the Binckhorst, but the housing prices do not really allow for that.

1- Creating a community in a place where there is no community yet. People helping people to create circular relationships within the community. A place where workers and residents can encounter and share skills, knowledge, time, experiences and purposes.

2- Waste products like wood snippers from Nederhout for example could be used by other companies: as a fertilizer for the soil of farmers. Wastewater from companies or households could be used somewhere else to flush toilets etc. Heat that is wasted could be used someplace else to heat or cool the building.

3- Areas and buildings that are already existing but no longer serve a purpose in the area should be renovated or be given a new function, so they contribute to the area again. In the big parking area can be added some green in between the space of each car and around so that it can be used for both: parking and green space.

4- Both the harbor and the legacy of industrial style.

5- Leaving social development hidden out of sight while there is a purpose and an ongoing network of companies being created and an upcoming network of residents.
How to make a place like the Binckhorst appealing to live when there is a lot of different industrial stuff going on which causes loud noises, etc.

-> To create more green spaces and to make it more livable, we suggest changing the roads designed for cars into livable streets with more green and space for walking and cycling.

More trees to combat the urban heat island to which the Binkhorst is especially susceptible.

Companies and entrepreneurs are facilitated scattered among the living areas, as long as there is no health risk or excess levels of noise/air pollution. Working areas can be made sound proof

Combining green with the built environment does not necessarily have to be a conflict of space. There are several examples of how the built environment can be combined with green. For example, in 2021, the construction a vertical city will begin. This vertical city (named B-PROUD) will consist of two skyscrapers, which each will be about 140 metres high. The concept "vertical city" entails that all amenities a person needs will be present within the buildings. Several outdoor public spaces in the buidlings will or can be designed as gardens. Green will therefore be integrated within the building, and since the "city" is being built vertical, limited space is occupied. Besides that, the appearance of the building will be designed according to the industrial identity of the Binckhorst, avoiding contrasts with the already existing built environment in the Binckhorst.

Furthermore, the construction of another building will also start in 2021. The plans for this building is also for it to be multifunctional and house several amenities, including housing. The developers of the building would like to combine industrial materials with pieces of nature, also integrating the industrial identity of the Binckhorst with more green.

The neighbourhood is clearly divided in more ways than one. On the one hand, there is a three-way battle going on between living, light office industry and heavy industry. There are also clear geographical divides between the different parts of the neighbourhood in terms of building style and condition. There are also not enough facilities in the neighboorhood to comfortably live there and even for working, it is very minimal.

The Royal BAM is an industrial infrastructure developement company, situated in the north-eastern part of the Binckhorst. Part of the BAM is an asphalt plant. this type of heavy industry often violates laws concerning housing criterea when near to neighbourhoods. Things like the sound or the stench are obstacles for the developement for housing construction.

Another conflict between the BAM and the new spatial function is the heavy traffic on the roads surrounding the plant. This heavy traffic in combination with residential traffic ight cause serious traffic congestion in the Binckhorst.

1. Circular social relationships and networks?

The Binckhorst tries to maintain a community feeling by communicating with the municipality, companies and inhabitants about occurring problems and conflicts between different parties. More green will attract more possible inhabitants  companies.

2. What does a circular Binckhorst mean for materials and flows (waste, water, energy)?
The Binckhorst wants to also have an circular economy, that means that mostly local products will be used. For example the use of wood from an local company, or event venue centre who also promotes sun panels by having them on the roof. Because the Binckhorst should become CO2 neutral. More green will create a better water flow in the area, and a better CO2 neutrality.

3. What does a circular Binckhorst mean spatially, in terms of the relationship between built and unbuilt environment?
In an circular economy it is important that particularly recyclable sources will be used, with less waste in production. But waste should also become a resource to become circular. In the transition to an circular economy the built and the unbuilt environments should go in the same pace to become a circular Binckhorst. In the unbuilt environment is space for more green areas, but it is also very important to create these areas in the built areas for a better transition.

4. What is truly representative for the area?

The area tries to keep it's (industrial) history by clearing the view of the castle and cemetery from the main road, and combining working, living and life in the same area. The true representative for the area is combined functionality together with keeping history and quality of life, and continued communication between inhabitants and companies to ensure a feeling of a considerate community.

5. Which contradictions/tensions deserve attention?
The binckhorst might lose it’s identity if too many of the companies which were representative for the area leave. Living close to commercial areas might lead to some tensions. People will have to accept the cons of living close to the commercial areas. More green can result in better living conditions, but most of the unbuilt area is already bought by companies.

Because of the big variety of destinations for older buildings and the target groups for new houses that will be build, you will probably get a social circularity in the Binckhorst. This is because children who move out of their house can find a starter home. Starters who make a good carreer can find a bigger home where they can later raise their own children. When they grow older they can move to a nice appartment, which will also be available in the Binckhorst. Next to the different ages of people, the Binckhorst will be suitable for different social classes. Different ages + different social classes means a place for everybody. Binckhorst, the circle of life?

The Binckhorst is an area with a lot of activity (busy, not green, a lot of waste and traffic). Old buildings mixed with newer buildings and a lot of industry.  It is certainly a developing area with a lot of opportunities. There weren't much facilities. Potentially an amazing living area.

Binckhorst is a Spatial No Mans Land - there's a huge mix of all different kinds of companies, houses and empty parking lots. It has an apocalyptic vibe. It's not particularly lively - you don't see many people wandering about and there's almost no public transport. The area looks rather forgotten, but this could change with the right spatial solutions. The area is huge, which gives lots of room to build modern residential complexes, hip restaurants, bars and pubs or even recreational areas. We want to keep the 'soul' of Binckhorst in our plans. Post-industrial architecture with interesting murals and greenery. Amsterdam-Noord vibes in The Hague.

Although the community in the Binckhorst is very involved and driven, the area does not seem to really embody this.   The creative industry is still being outnumbered by the many industrial services still located there. Rotterdamsebaan and the Binckhorstlaan seem to be a harsh divide in the spatial domain.
