In 2018, architects Ronald and Erik Rietviels from Dutch office RAAAF (for Rietveld Architecture-Art-Affordances) and Dutch artist Erick de Lyon completed “Deltawerk 1:1”, an installation related to the preservation of cultural heritage — here, the former Dutch Hydrodynamics Laboratory, where full-scale experimentations were conducted. The project consists in revealing and transforming a 250-metre long and 7-metre high large-scale flume called Delta Flume.
