Bathed in light
Drawing from its more than 30 years of experience, SICIS introduces backlit pools in Vetrite, a patented solution that combines design, technology and function.
Struggling first against the sea and then to overcome problems within the space available (the population density is equal to that of Japan, the highest in Europe), the Dutch population has managed to radically transform the landscape. By means of continued experimentation they have managed to create infrastructures which are unique in the world, bringing together art and science to define and defend the natural surroundings.
The exhibition shows work from a number of architects (Monolab Architects and West 8), architectural theorists (Crimson) and artists (Rob Johannesma, Jeroen Kooijmans/Roy Cerpac, and Edwin Zwakman, offering a look into a world of design where art and architecture are brought increasingly closer together. And the incentive which brings them together is, once more, the contemporary landscape.
