The main goal of this design exercise is to recreate the ‘heart’ of Rotterdam South, by providing the conditions for a vibrant, public city life. This heart will – in contrast to the shopping mall – be formed by outdoor spaces, like streets and squares, and be welcome to pedestrians and cyclists. The centre of Rotterdam South will be marked visually and be connected to the city, as opposed to its current invisibility and isolation. The urban solution gets architectural form as a hybrid urban cultural centre, consisting of a theatre, a music stage, a library, housing, restaurants and more.
