Unfamiliar with most components of Rotterdam, we determined to go to the Primary Places after which see if there was nonetheless time left for the Associate venues. At occasions I personally at all times verify Instagram to see which location I feel is engaging to go to. Sadly, the Design Biennale account primarily confirmed the surface of the buildings and never a lot of the designers exhibiting.
Even supposing the areas on Google Maps had been collected by the group, most of them had been nonetheless troublesome for us to search out. Typically you needed to stroll round buildings to enter the following location whereas we anticipated some type of hub. We particularly missed signage, a flag or location indication. Perhaps it was simply us or are these ‘newbie’ issues at this new occasion. Most likely we missed loads and there was extra to see however we sort off dropped out modified our plan of visiting the Primary venues, and jumped in a taxi to go to accomplice venue DOEN.
