The Schouwberplein (12.250 square metres) is situated in the heart of the city of Rotterdam and is surrounded by shops and flanked by the City Theatre and the City Concert Hall. The design emphasizes the importance of a void, which opens a panorama towards the city skyline.
The square is designed as an interactive public space, flexible in use, and changing during day and seasons. Its appearance is a reflection of the Port of Rotterdam.
One of the major features of the square are the four hydraulic lighting elements that can be interactively altered by the inhabitants of the city.
Our Intervention:
After the restrictions on the movement of the hydraulic cranes and the removal of the interactive light from the Schouwberplein, we decided to try and re-produce and create our own public interaction. Again using light we set out to produce a series of interactive lights placed within the square. The lights would be positioned strategically in line with the cranes used in the previous intervention. Beside the lights we marked specific images and words, which the user would react to in various manners depending on the image or words shown.
