IDEA: The Model City!
'The Model City' - creating a miniaturised city. Not to necessarily replicate Rotterdam in miniature; but to take the use of geometry, line, light, and shadow to create form in a way that is captures the city's current state and use of these design aspects. Recognised buildings could be replicated within the design though this is something which I will avoid doing, as it may be a bit kitsch. The idea of 'The Model City' not only holds the idea of creating a physical mini city, but holds the meaning of Rotterdam actually being a model city in terms of it compared to other cities. From my experience of the city, I felt that Rotterdam is a city which other cities could look to as a prime example for many things including architecture and design. The way of life and the culture, I personally feel is so much more relaxed and calm than other cities. Rotterdam is definitely a place where I would like to live!!!
EUREKA...!
