Max HeyraudTemporary Pleasure is behind a new 3,000-capacity temporary superclub being built on the beach in Zeebrugge for We Can Dance, taking a deliberately different approach to the traditional nightclub format.
Rather than designing the space around a DJ booth and asking the crowd to face forward, the project starts from the people inside it. Balconies overlook the dancefloor, elevated viewpoints change the way the room is experienced, while hidden corners encourage dancers to move, explore and find their own perspective.
The superclub, created in collaboration with Temporary Pleasure, is founded on years of research into club culture, nightclub architecture, and dancefloor design. This creates a space for movement and collective experience, where sightlines are in flux, and encounters are removed from the traditional centre of attention.
The countdown is on. Temporary Pleasure’s superclub offers a different proposition for the festival nightclub: less focus on the booth, more on what happens when thousands of people share the same room.
Creative direction, spatial and experiential design comes from John Leo Gillen, with production by Mathieu Foulon, 3D technical design by Joran Dhaen and lighting design by Randall Diagre.
