Studio Roosegaarde is the social design lab of artist Daan Roosegaarde with his team of designers, architects and engineers. By creating interactive designs that instinctively respond to sound and movement, Roosegaarde explores the dawn of a new nature that is evolving from technological innovations. The lecture ‘Interactive Landscapes’ shows a world shifting between analogue and digital, and our dynamic relation between space, technology and people.
Architect and innovator Daan Roosegaarde (1979) creates interactive landscapes such as ‘Dune’, ‘Sustainable Dance Floor’ and ‘Intimacy’ which form tactile high-tech environments in which the viewer and the space become one. This link between ideology and technology is what Roosegaarde calls “techno-poetry”. Roosegaarde has won the Dutch Design Award, China’s Most Successful Design Award and has been the focus of exhibitions at the Tate Modern, the National Museum in Tokyo, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and various public spaces in Rotterdam and Hong Kong.
