Artist and architect Daan Roosegaarde builds interactive landscapes -- 
installations that respond intuitively to sound and motion. His first 
book, Interactive Landscapes, gives a futuristic view of everyday reality.

Roosegaarde's work is a dynamic fusion of architecture, design and 
technology with human interaction at its center. Sculptures like Dune, 
Liquid Space, Flow and Intimacy form a "tactile high-tech" environment, 
in which the viewer and the space become one. Roosegaarde calls this 
connection between design and content and between ideology and 
technology "technopoetry."

Interactive Landscapes gives a full overview of Daan Roosegaarde's 
projects so far, thus showing how his work has evolved. Adele Chong 
(editor of Blueprint Asia) and Timo de Rijk (professor in Design 
Cultures at Delft Technical University ) have contributed essays. 
Chong's focuses on Roosegaarde as an artist, and De Rijk writes about 
Roosegaarde's innovative works from the perspective of his extensive 
knowledge of product development and design.
?Roosegaarde's work Flow 5.0 won a Dutch Design Award for independent 
spatial design in 2009. His art has been exhibited at London's Tate 
Modern and Victoria and Albert Museum and  the Tokyo National Museum and 
in various public places.
