Walking on the Binnenrotte, one of the biggest squares of Rotterdam, I see a light in the far sight. The light gives direction and a feeling of safety on the big open square, on evenings like these. When I come closer I catch a glimpse of a wooden structure. It feels like it doesn’t really fits its surroundings between the brick, glass and concrete buildings. Slender wooden beams rising high in the sky. Like a beacon there is a big vertical light hanging in between the columns. Pieces of canvas are draped around the light. It softly shines through the canvas, creating a lantern like atmosphere. The big square suddenly has become a bit warmer in the hours of dusk. The red brick pavement makes place for a small platform. A small zinc roof is overhanging the platform, giving a bit of protection on a rainy day.  

When I enter the pavilion I feel like I’m in a safe space. The soft light is touching my head and lightning up the near surroundings.  I notice a small bench in the middle of the wooden structure. There is a small breeze, which makes the fabric curtains above me slowly rustle. I take a seat and almost start to dream away.
