Abstract

Ruigoord is a settlement in Amsterdam with extraordinary spatial, social and ecological qualities. The study is a response to the threats facing both the village of Ruigoord and the surrounding natural environment and develops the basis for the creation of a new Ruigoord nearby. The research is based on a vision of environmental design that emphasises the relations between the built environment, the social environment (people-oriented) and the natural environment (plant- and animal-oriented). The research strategy is based on Tjallingii’s Ecopolis strategy, with the threefold approach from the perspective of actors, areas and flows. The analysis of the existing Ruigoord reveals its various special qualities. The well being of the residents (the social quality) depends on issues like the freedom to act and do as they wish, the adaptability of the dwellings, neighbourliness, local amenities and being able to work and relax where they live. The spatial qualities of Ruigoord were analysed at three scales. Many of the citizens of Ruigoord are satisfied with their relatively small houses because of the existence of (visible) green space nearby. One can identify four types of dwelling: Mobile, Removable, Self-built and Existing. Each type of dwelling has its own advantages. A comparison with the environmental types described in the ‘National Sustainable Planning Package’ indicates that Ruigoord can be identified by the ‘Villa district’ type (with exclusive houses set in large grounds). However, it clearly differs from this type in one essential way: the habitants are poor, and the undeveloped land in Ruigoord is only partly in private ownership, the remainder is public space. This observation provides an opportunity for Ruigoord being an example for new sustainable development typologies: there is literally more (common) space available for all kinds of (sustainable) purposes. The analysis of environmental quality was related to the dwelling typology. The houses are compact (average 75 m 2 ) and many rooms are used for more purposes. The houses are generally easy to move: they are either mobile or easy to disassemble and rebuild elsewhere, and generally are built of light materials. The paper focuses on the design of a ‘new Ruigoord’ near Almere, a new town near Amsterdam. It is being developed as an experimental, informal urban settlement that tries to approach self-sufficiency together with maximised self-duties and an optimised miscellany of culture and ecology for people with little money. Due to this ecological-cultural status it is called an Ecu village. The setting will be unique: in (protected) woodland, with little to no (technical) infrastructure nearby. It is being developed according to the new sustainable development typology extracted from the analysis of the original settlement. The settlement will start with 50 to 70 houses. Additive 1000 square metre cultural services and 300 square metre workshops/ateliers will be developed as Ecu-village centre.
