PUBLIC DOCUMENT: a 30 min. experimental documentary that focuses on author/user dialogue in relation to the 10 sites that are the focus of the bus tour. welkom 2 r'dam: A net.art piece that uses the language and strategies of a tourist site, it is designed to 'promote' dialogue about Rotterdam identity. Poster/Brochure + Public Intervention: Posters will be placed throughout the city to surround 10 locally built sites stating that 'the building was built by a local architect' and that r'dam has the largest quantity [and quality] of architects of any other city in the world but that very few of these architects build for the city. This project is funded by Stimuleringsfonds voor Architectuur.
