The vibrant and dynamic city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands is now brighter than ever with this new installation: a hot pink rooftop stage found above the Het Nieuwe Instituut (HNI), the Dutch national institute for architecture, design, and culture. Named The Podium, the eye-catching 600 sqm temporary installation is accessible to the public from June to August.
Designed by Dutch architectural firm MVRDV, the fuchsia pink elevated roof platform is accessible from the ground plaza via a 143-step external staircase of the same colour.
