BUILDING THE ARCHIPELAGO

The simulation model with lee structures is incorporated in the Masterplan to built the archipelago. The Masterplan assigns different zones and functions within the Markermeer and distinguishes the archipel CONSTRUCTION and SYSTEM.

The CONSTRUCTION maps assigns the position of dam (lee) structures, sandpits and 4 building anchoring technics: pole, float, lee and 2nd bank. This will be elaborated under devolopment conditions further in the book.

The archipelago SYSTEM consists of waterTRANSPORT routes and railinfrastructure.

The zone for watertransport and for the main ENERGY field are no-built areas. . The NATURE NETWORK along the urban backbone connects the Veluwe and Oostvaardersplassen with the Dune landscape in Noord-Holland.

The URBAN SERVICES map show zoning for food production, industries & harbors, and energy.
