Using three levels of analysis, each flow is dissected in a separate pavilion. These are air, water, biota, food, energy, waste, humans, cargo, and finally sand, sediment and construction materials. The exhibition is arranged like a matrix.Īlong the one axis run nine lines, each covering a single flow. In THE URBAN METABOLISM the urban landscape is considered as a complex, vast and interactive system that continuously works to meet the needs of its inhabitants.
There are more ways than one to perceive a city. With introductions by Ahmed Aboutaleb, Astrid Sanson and George Brugmans, and contributions by Nico Tilly, Eric Frijters, Olv Klijn, Dirk Sijmons, Marieke Francke, Judith Borsboom, Sander Klaassen, Annemieke Fontein and Hans Scheepmaker.ĭownload the PDF of Urban Metabolism here
The results obtained offer not only the municipality but also other parties in the city specific pointers for continuing to work on the metabolism of Rotterdam. The analyses, the strategies developed and the specific design proposals detailed, provide answers to the questions posed above. Urban Metabolism details the results of the IABR–Atelier Rotterdam. How do the flows of goods, people, waste, biota, energy, food, freshwater, sand and air function in Rotterdam? What influence do these flows have on the quality of life in the city, and how do they relate to spatial developments? Can an insight into the metabolism of Rotterdam help us develop into a sustainable region? And what opportunities are there for a circular economy?
