Public Space design – Benthemplein – Gemeente Rotterdam

End of 2013 the worlds first large-scale water square was opened in the city of Rotterdam. This innovative square can automatically be filled with 1.7 million liters of water during heavy rainfall to unburden the sewer system. To explain the system and the necessity of these type of solutions,

the Municipality of Rotterdam asked Studio Überdutch to design the signage at the square, Final result is a series of engraved stainless steel ‘water circles’ containing text, images and qr codes.

Check the official Benthemplein website about this innovative water square.
