In 2020 the Zuidplein Theater in Rotterdam was presented. Studio RAP designed the theater’s acoustic walls, which in one fluid movement embraces the audience and the artist. The project was designed using algorithms, which resulted in a rippling ocean of thousands of triangles. This resulted in creating the perfect acoustics possible and the expressive hall was able to be realized within planning and budget.
It’s an eye-catching design, and not just because of its use of bright shades of red. Like a beautifully stylized cliff face, the acoustic walls enclose the main auditorium of the new theater. It’s an enormous aluminum-composite puzzle, consisting of 6,000 uniquely shaped pieces. The City of Rotterdam commissioned Studio RAP to design the interior of the main theater hall within a tight budget and tight schedule. Studio RAP accepted the challenge. The Rotterdam-based architectural firm is pioneering the integration of digital techniques in the construction process, realizing projects with a complete digital workflow. With this innovative approach, by digitizing the wall design from start to finish with self-developed algorithms, the project could be realized within budget and planning.
Digital Workflow
All the phases of this project have been realized fully digitally, from design to realization. Through the algorithmic design of Studio RAP, engineering firm Arup made its acoustic and structural calculations and RAP generated all production data for the contractor Aldowa. The advantage of this method is that everything remains digital and therefore variable. This makes it possible to make changes without any problems until late in the realization process. In this way, different design scenarios can easily be tested for planning and technical and financial feasibility.
