Background:
The project entitled "Roofscape Landmark Project" is being realised in several European cities by Larsen Bervoets with the local population and started in Gothenburg at the end of April. The aim is to creatively draw attention to the potential of roof surfaces. Lars Bervoets will be travelling to a total of six cities by the autumn. The colours and shapes are repeated in the individual cities and symbolise the diversity of Europe.
The "Roofscape Landmark Project" is a joint endeavour of the European Creative Rooftop Network (ECRN), an initiative of various stakeholders from nine European cities with the aim of developing sustainable and innovative rooftop projects. Chemnitz has been part of the ECRN since 2021 and is a founding member. Under the title "Colourful Roofs Chemnitz", the aim is to record local roof areas and network local stakeholders and experts.
An ECRN project, funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
