'''Studio Roosegaarde''', founded by acclaimed designer [[Daan Roosegaarde]] in 2006, is an interaction design studio based in Waddinxveen, Netherlands. The studio recently opened its doors to a second office in Shanghai, China <ref>{{cite web|title=Profile|url=http://www.studioroosegaarde.net/info/|work=Studio Roosegaarde}}</ref>. The studio’s team consists of several dozen designers, technologists and engineers, that explore relationships between people, art, space, and technology. |
|||
== Approach == |
|||
The studio is not interested in designing objects in and of themselves; instead, objects are designed to enhance existing or allow new forms of social engagement. The team's approach focuses on how social interactions can be improved through technology, rather than using technology to generate new forms of interaction. The idea of ''techno-poetry'', or the melding of ideology and technology developed by Roosegaarde, allows the studio to explore the social side of technology with the intent of developing new products that do not yet exist <ref>{{cite web|title=Daan Roosegaarde - TEDxRotterdam 2010|url=https://vimeo.com/12587237|work=Vimeo}}</ref>. Aiding in this, the studio’s technologists and engineers frequently develop new materials in order to show what is possible with technology and to make tangible experiences. |
|||
Despite the important role that technology plays in the studio’s work, the purpose of the installations is more about what can be done with technology, rather than technology itself <ref>{{cite book|last=Bullivant|first=Lucy|title=Responsive environments: architecture, art and design|year=2006|publisher=V & A contemporary|isbn=9781851774814|pages=128}}</ref>. |
|||
== Notable Projects == |
|||
Many of Studio Roosegaarde’s projects can be and are deployed internationally as installations; many can be modified for the specific context in which they are presented. |

* '''Dune:''' An exploration into the relationships between people and space, Dune is an interactive landscape consisting of several hundred light-emitting fibers that react and provoke based on the sounds and motion of passing visitors. Inspired by silhouettes Roosegaarde observed moving across the horizon line in a desert during a visit to Morocco <ref name="digitalarti">{{cite web|last=Catala|first=Laurent|title=Interview with Daan Roosegaarde|url=http://www.digitalarti.com/blog/digitalarti_mag/interview_daan_roosegaarde|work=Digital Arti}}</ref>. |
