Schouwburgplein
1991-1996, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Situated in the heart of the city and surrounded by shops and theatres, 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 the Port of Rotterdam. By raising the surface of the square above the surrounding area, the void was retained and the "city's stage" created.
