Man walks through the Deltawerk landscape artwork in the Noordoostpolder
Deltawerk is a landscape artwork in the Waterloopbos in the Noordoostpolder from 2018 by Atelier de Lyon/RAAAF. The artwork is a transformation of the Delta Flume, a former test facility of the Waterloopkundig Laboratorium De Voorst as a test model for the Delta Works. This facility was decommissioned in 2015 and has been replaced by the Delta Gutter in Delft. The Delta Gutter was a 240 long 7 meter deep concrete gutter basin, embedded in sand. The surrounding sand has been excavated for the work of art, so that the concrete has come to lie in water all around. Halfway through the gutter, the concrete wall has been sawn in half and the walls have been placed diagonally across the work site. This interruption also allowed a pedestrian passage to be created over the gutter.
