De Bouw is a fantastic yearly festival in Rotterdam that invites anyone and everyone to build whatever they want in the center of the city for a week in July.

Entrance is free. Materials are free; scrap wood and parts are donated to the event. Space is free; claim any plot of land on the festival grounds and build away. 

This year, Bruno Setola, Tiemen Visser, and I collaborated to build an entirely improvised playground with the materials we found on-site.

My experience at De Bouw is one of tapping into the pure joy of creativity and play; and that's what I really care about at the end of the day.
