P21_Soundpiece @ Schouwburgplein
Curating the sound gallery of the Schouwburgplein that reflects the cultural live of the city of Rotterdam.Since the NewCanvas©Poetry&Art, part of the 37 Poetry International Festival, there is a sound-installation, the Soundpiece, under the floor of the Schouwburgplein, Rotterdam. This installation was placed by the artists Jasper Niens, Kamiel Verschuren en Thijs Ewalts.
By order of Rotterdam Festivals, the new owners of the installation, a strategy was made for a sustainable use of this installation. The Soundpiece has the ability to make the Schouwburgplein the urban cultural foyer of Rotterdam. By sound, the rich and divere cultural life of Rotterdam is spread in the public space.

P15_IFF@R’dam
An urban design project about the possibilities of a new symbiotic collaboration of the International Film Festival Rotterdam and the city of Rotterdam,The international film festival Rotterdam is one of the international known festivals of Rotterdam. During the ten day festival, the central city changes of atmosphere.
The urban developments of the south bank of the Meuse, with the replacement of a movie theatre from the central city to this area can give a new dynamic between the co-relation between the festival and the city.
In a movie, the watcher stands still and the scenery changes, inbetween the story evolves. In a city, the scenery stands still, the watcher moves and inbetween the story where he/she is part of evolves.
In this project the urban qualities of the different festival areas are empowered partly by the temporary interventions in the public space. Along the routes between these areas also more long-term interventions are proposed to support the filmic character of Rotterdam.
This urban design project is part of the case studies that substantiate Festivalcity_Rotterdam, a strategy for the symbiotic collaboration of festivals and urban development, creating a strong identity for both.
