Abstract

To revitalise the modern urban public spaces in the war affected areas of Rotterdam, this project uses the concept of 'play'. Play can be an effective method to deal with the diversity of actors that make use of public space today. By creating a common (play) ground - imaginary space in the designprocess; and mysterious interactive experiences in the design itself - the whole range of public can be part of the making and using of undervalued and underused public spaces. In doing so, you also create a field for interaction between the different strangers of the public.
An underused but busy area in the city center has been chosen to project the imaginative stories on- into physical interactive instalations.
