Kop Dakpark is a wasteland on a central spot along a traffic junction with multiple adjacent areas with their own dynamics and atmospheres, like The Strip with Big Shops, the Makers district M4H and the multicultural neighborhood BoTu. The challenge is to develop a new building with innovative work home typologies for various generations and income brackets. The base should have an additional program that contributes to the accessibility and urban dynamics of the location. In the end, Kop Dakpark should connect citizens with all sorts of backgrounds, knowledge and skills.
