<br>
Artist and architect Daan Roosegaarde builds interactive
landscapes – installations that respond intuitively to sound and
motion. His first book, Interactive Landscapes, gives a futuristic
view of everyday reality.<br>
<br>
Roosegaarde’s work is a dynamic fusion of architecture, design and
technology with human interaction at its center. Sculptures like
Dune, Liquid Space, Flow and Intimacy form a “tactile high-tech"
environment, in which the viewer and the space become one.
Roosegaarde calls this connection between design and content and
between ideology and technology “technopoetry.” <br>
<br>
Interactive Landscapes gives a full overview of Daan Roosegaarde’s
projects so far, thus showing how his work has evolved. Adele
Chong (editor of Blueprint Asia) and Timo de Rijk (professor in
Design Cultures at Delft Technical University ) have contributed
essays. Chong’s focuses on Roosegaarde as an artist, and De Rijk
writes about Roosegaarde’s innovative works from the perspective
of his extensive knowledge of product development and design. <br>

Roosegaarde’s work Flow 5.0 won a Dutch Design Award for
independent spatial design in 2009. His art has been exhibited at
London’s Tate Modern and Victoria and Albert Museum and the Tokyo
National Museum and in various public places. <br>
<br>
