Still to edit text

"De tijden zijn veranderd. Het Heijplaat van vroeger is niet meer het Heijplaat van nu. Dat is aan één kant heel erg jammer, maar aan de andere kant geeft het ook de vitaliteit van het dorp aan. Nu is de scheepswerf aan het transformeren naar een Campus, waar innovatie en duurzaam ontwikkelen, maakindustrie, opleidingen en havenactiviteiten hand in hand gaan. In de transitie van de stadshaven, waar de Heijsehaven en de Dokhaven ook onder vallen, neemt Heijplaat/RDM een voorsprong."

Expo Background Analysis

History of the World Expo

In Retrospect

18th century || Early English national fairs of the 18th century had carnival-like public entertainment and showcased various technological innovations and industrial arts.
late 18th - early 19th century || The French began hosting industrial exhibitions as a reaction, to compete against the British in the international marketplace. In the 1830s the British began holding exhibitions, in focus of education craftsmen and factory workers, showcasing tools and labour-saving mechanical devices.
1851 || Britain's Great Exhibition (Crystal Palace Exhibition. Showcased were scientific and technological marvels from many different countries as well as works of art and craftsmanship.
1880 - WWI || Golden age of fairs, with more than 40 international expositions held.
1893 || World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, created an exposition whose architecture shaped the country's style for the next 25 years. Also the concept of the midway, a lively enterntainment zone, was introduced. This soon became the staple of virtually all future expositions.
After WWI || Fairs lost their cultural status. Fewer were held, and were not artistically or commercially successful. Fairs had less to offer people who could now see movies or hear radio programs instead.
1925 || The Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Moderne, held in Paris, made the style known as Art Deco highly popular the next 15 years.
1930's || America uses Art Deco in their fairs to take the minds off the Great Depression.
Cold War || World's fairs became staging grounds for displays of U.S. - Soviet rivalry.
1970 || Japan World Exposition in Osaka, who's host country showed its remarkable recovery just 25 years after WWII. It made clear Japan had regained its place among the world's leading nations.
After 1970 || Fairs tend to enlighten visitors about a particular theme, often environmental in nature.
21st Century || Fairs are less frequent due to increasing costs of staging them because of tighter regulations. There were two significant events. The exposition near the city of Nagoya in 2005 and the Shanghai exposition in 2010, which reported 73 million visitors.

"Although some critics have denounced world’s fairs as extravagant and irrelevant in the world of the early 21st century, others have asserted that, by moving away from the old theme of “technological utopianism” and toward a focus on social and environmental issues as suggested by the Hannover Principles, fairs can continue to be worthwhile for visitors as well as for host cities and countries. "

Analysis of past World Expo's

Milan World Expo 2015 -The Expo-terrain is too distant, 40 km from the city center and a 30 minutes walk from the parking-spots.
-There is nothing for children.

The Goals of a World Expo

Primary Goals

One of the primary goals of a world's fair is to entertain. World expositions have continued to find new ways to provide informational inspiration in new ways.
They are related to both the Olympics and the United Nations in many ways, but world's fairs are unique in that the everyday person can experience them firsthand, not just athletes or politicians.

Are Expo's Obsolete?

People claim that television and now the Internet have made world's fairs obsolete - that we have now finally exhausted the potential to entertain, enlighten, and inspire outside of one's own home. Though there will always be new ways to inspire. We also can't discount the attraction of experiencing something new as part of a group, a community.
Perhaps the mission of the world expositions should be to make us even the slightest bit less cynical about the world and to let us feel we are a part of that world - and you can rarely experience that from your television or computer.

Future Developments

Expo Law

Taking into account fifty million visitors, the organization of Rotterdam World Expo 2025 wants to construct a subway to the proposed festival site. To speed up this process they want a special 'Expo-Law'.

The extra subway would connect as follows: Rotterdam Center <=> Marconiplein <=> Stadshavens <=> zuidelijke Maasoevers <=> Zuidplein.

Aqua Dock

A01G0322.jpg

Located on the RDM Campus, Aqua Dock officially launched its experimental platform for testing, demonstrating and designing innovative floating structures in the Rhine harbour of Rotterdam, the Netherlands on March 12

heat Pipe

There is now a kind of heat pipe in which the heat development of the petrochemical industry is transported from Botlek to the greenhouses of the Westland and the houses in The Hague. Such innovative renewable energy facilities should be ready in 2025.
