When it&#8217;s about design and the city of Rotterdam, the name of artist and designer Daan Roosegaarde springs to mind spontaneously. Although his studio is not participating in this year&#8217;s edition of Rotterdam Art Week, it is fascinating to read what this Rotterdam-based studio is currently committed to. Among other things, Studio Roosegaarde realised a glowing bike path as an ode to Van Gogh, an artificial sun that reduces viruses as well as a ring that is filled with a 1,000 m<sup>3<\/sup> of smog (filtered by yourselves).<\/strong>&#8220;,[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading]Art &#038; Science[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]It takes technological innovation and social experience to bring about real change. You need both: just one skill simply does not have enough impact. Other than that, a good design piques your interest in a better future![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading]TechnoPoetry[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]To my mind, TechnoPoetry is the dynamic relationship between mankind and technology. The presence of a visitor plays a part in many of my designs; the visitors become part of the work. The connection created between the design and the visitor is what I call TechnoPoetry. An example of this is the Lotus Dome design, which reacts to human presence. The heat-sensitive, smart flowers fold open and closed, thus creating an interactive play of light and shadow.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8221;]<div class=\"br-custom-youtube\" style=\"max-width:100%;\"><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7T-z2ibOfjM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading]Climate issues[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]Stimulating our desire for Beauty, related to our marvelling at the world that surrounds us while at the same time referring to cleanliness, i.e. clean spaces, clean air, clean water and clean energy.
