Public Space is the mirror of society. It’s the place where we organise and perform our every-day cultural exchange. We meet, eat, party, play, sport, demonstrate and clash in public space. But the way we give form to these activities changes over time. That’s why public space is changing as well.
The interdisciplinary team behind the ‘We Love Public Space’ Festival (WLPS) in Rotterdam consist of Bas Sala (designer, Studio Bas Sala), Floor van Ditzhuyzen (architect, de Ontwerpwerkplaats) and Ron Blom (artist, Ron Blom art and media). Team WLPS is representative for the various disciplines and divers views, approaches and strategies that are featured at the Festival; for city makers, by city makers.
The aim of the WLPS Festival is to establish an open conversation about how city makers deal with present and future developments that determine the design and use of public space.
The WLPS Festival is broad-orientated and freely accessible. An open and dynamic platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience between city makers; from architect to artist, from designer to urban planner.
