About Schouwburgplein

Schouwburgplein is a car- and bicycle-free square in Rotterdam featuring the Pathé Schouwburgplein cinema (clad in corrugated iron) with seven screens, the Rotterdamse Schouwburg, and the De Doelen concert hall on the north side. There is a large parking garage underneath.

Materials such as epoxy, wood, rubber, and metal were used for the paving. There are large movable light poles, long benches, and alternating spraying fountains. Vertical ventilation pipes are surrounded by fencing in pairs, forming a sort of towers.
