ZoHo, Urban Lab for the Wet City
Wet City Walkshop with designer Bas Sala
Discover the Zomerhofkwartier (ZoHo), the climate quarter of Rotterdam. Designer Bas Sala takes you along the various innovative projects in the area, from Watersquare to Raingarden.
The Zomerhof quarter (ZoHo) is destined for urban transformation and densification shortly. In the meantime, many designers and city makers working on innovative solutions for climate adaptation have settled there, including Studio Bas Sala/Cloiq. One of their projects is the ZoHo rain letters. The letters contain ‘smart’ rain barrels. A smart rain barrel is equipped with technology to independently regulate the ideal water level. The barrel stores water for dry periods and discharges the stocked water when needed. A smart and simple way to relieve the urban sewage system and prevent flooding.
