7 Square Endeavour

14.01.2016

‘Make a proposal for the Schouwburgplein in Rotterdam that drastically improves both the sustainability and the lovability of the square and its adjacent buildings’. This challenge was given by De Urbanisten to 30 students from the Academy for Architecture + Urbanism at the Winterschool in Tilburg (NL).

The Wintersschool is connected to the 7square-endeavour. This international initiative aims at making seven squares around the world ‘ready for future generations’ and starts at the Schouwburgplein. The students proposals unveal the potential for the square to become the ‘warm and inviting’ public domain that Rotterdam longs for.
