The “Green Room” is a temporary landscape intervention specially designed for the city of Rotterdam that is part of a series of interventions in the public space of several European cities named “Domestic Monuments”. The “Green Room” experiments with the role of hybrid interventions (mix of landscape+ architecture+ sculpture) to activate the urban life of the public space of our city centres.The intervention transforms an unused part of the public space of the city into an open room for the citizens. The innovative use of vegetation in walls, floors and sitting elements of the room characterizes the project with a strong identity and an iconic character. The “Green Room” works as a quiet green island that flows in the anonymous public space of the city.
