The strategy for the future of Hof van Delfland response to the changes in rural landscape and developments for policy for these kind of areas, to be specific: - the transformation towards a post modern rural landscape - the next step for the bufferzone - and the search for metropolitan or regional landscapes and parks This graduation project is bound on the theme of production and consumption in the landscape; which results in the research question: What should be the new patterns for production and consumption in a metropolitan landscape development dealing with a rural identity? With this research question a general and location specific leads to different tasks for the strategy for Hof van Delft: results of these researches are the base for the interventions to define new and strengthen patterns in production and consumption for Hof van Delfland. First the problems in the existing productive landscape ( dairy farming) will lead to a program of demands for the production landscape: an innovation in dairy farming to maintain the quality of the landscape, which the dairy farming brings today. Second the research in the existing consumption and future consumption has lead to the following tasks in the landscape; the accommodation of the rural experience, strengthen the recreational edges more with the rural identity, accessibility of the landscape, bringing broadening of farms to the next level and at last to integrate the spatial effect of the ‘horsification’ of the landscape . Third, the productive and consumptive changes on the scale of the yard ( scale increase, broadening of farms, change of function) have had a huge effect on the embedding of the -mostly idealized- farm yard; yards that became ‘footloose’ from the landscape. This means it’s time for design for yard and farm. This research has lead to the motto for intervention: LUST = NUT and NUT=LUST. It is about integrating production and consumption in landscape, infrastructure, buildings and yards. It will be the transformation from a rural landscape with recreational edges into a productive landscape with a rural –consumptive- park structure. The design assignment is about to accommodate the rural experience. This rural experience give specific spatial interventions showed into three projects to develop Rural Park Hof van delfland. This three projects will be explored in the center part of the area, which shows generic solutions for the whole Hof van Delfland: The first intervention is about what the entrances should be for a rural park. On the higher level (regional and national) the area will have a local ‘food’ transferium/market next to the A4. Were not only cars can be parked to go into the rural park by bike or by feed, but local food can be collected and distributed from farmers, horticultural industry and private to citizens, restaurants caterers etc Next to that on the lower level the area will get its park meaning of a park in-between the urban structure ( a front position) instead of a backyard of the cities. This will by done by a design of –some - the entrances of the park. The second intervention will deal with the recreational edges: by giving it more meaning by a more rural use which connects it better to the rural land and use this area to develop the –needed- horse facilities The last intervention is the main project. It is about the transformation in organization of the farmland dealing with the problems in the diary farming. This project will give the strategy for the rural land which will bring not only organizational solutions but will mainly bring a transformation in the spatial structure of the infrastructure, yards and buildings in the rural land, which will bring the main park structure. This will be draw up in three cases: the rural park structure, the yard transformed to a civilian yard and the boerenhof 2.0 The boerenhof 2.0 is the project where NUT and LUST is used as the main strategy for future in dairy farming. This projects is elaborated on the scale of architecture. In this project the rural experience exists out of getting acquainted with the modern sustainable dairy farming on the one hand. And on the other hand experience the pleasure of the rural land by broadening functions like a Spa, education and a accommodation and horse riding facilities. The experience of this program is housed in a new barn structure by connecting stables and barns to each other by a wooden roof structure. These projects mostly are small interventions that can be implied and work separately, but together they will bring the rural experience that is needed for an agricultural future for this area. The architectural project is the main key project that enhances the future as an agricultural area. Using the motto of Nut and Lust it brings the answer for a future farm and a future rural area in a metropolitan landscape development by enhancing existing qualities.
