Every place, whether it is a space, a building, a square or part of a city, has a primary rhythm. In a unit of time, a certain cycle of use is completed under the influence of various factors. Per hour, per day, per month, per year. Rest, commotion, noise. The common thread is to create a pleasant urban area where there is alternation between quiet and busy forms of urbanity. Designed in collaboration with Rijnboutt.
