by James Taylor-Foster, ArchDaily Photos\u00a0\u00a9 Studio Roosegaarde Waterlicht (or \u2018water light\u2019) is a new light installation which has temporarily transformed Amsterdam\u2019s Museumplein into a \u201cdream landscape\u201d expressing both the power, and the poetry, of water. The shifting shapes and liquid movement of the artwork also have a very real purpose: like a virtual flood, the level of the lights show how high the water could submerge Holland and parts of The Netherlands without constant human intervention. The installation highlights how innovation in engineering, something which is embedded \u201cwithin the DNA of the Dutch landscape\u201d of polders and dikes, has been […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>
