History



Vóór de Tweede Wereldoorlog bevond zich een dichtbebouwde buurt op de plek waar nu het Schouwburgplein ligt. In de jaren zestig werd de ondergrondse garage voltooid en opende de Doelen. Sindsdien is het Schouwburgplein een autovrije zone. Het plein was een symbool voor de verandering die Rotterdam heeft ondergaan als gevolg van de wederopbouw. In 1996 ontwierp en realiseerde Adriaan Geuze van West8 een nieuw Schouwburgplein. Het zweeft boven het straatniveau en fungeert als stadspodium. In het plein verwijzen metalen, rubberen en houten elementen naar de haven. Sinds de oplevering leidde het plein tot discussie, variërend van mondiale lof voor de architectuur tot kritiek op hoe het functioneert als een stedelijk plein. Er ligt een maquette van het plein in het MOMA in New York, maar het Schouwburgplein prijkt ook op de Hall of Shame van Project for Public Spaces: “een perfect voorbeeld van hoe een design statement nog geen goed plein oplevert.”
