ZIG ZAG CITY is a route of interventions and workshops around the theme ‘Urban by Nature’ that highlighted a number of architectural monuments during the International Architecture Biennial Rotterdam (IABR). LANDLAB transforms Piet Blom’s iconic Cube Houses into a pop-up urban jungle; the tropical plants and palm trees luring passersby into this unexpected secret paradise.
