Radio Kootwijk used to be the symbol of vision and innovation. However, the last couple of years it became the symbol of vacancy and stagnation. "The Web" - Radio Kootwijk revitalizes the alien innovation landscape from 1920. The Web is a proposal for a giant helium-installation, made with the most recent airplane technology (Faculty Aerospace Engineering - TU Delft). It will be floating at 200 meters above ground and will be linked to a network of cables and radio pylons. The Web can be seen from far away and it allows the visitor to experience the world-class innovation landscape that Radio Kootwijk was in the 1920's. In the context of The Web one may wonder if "the cathedral" built by architect Luthman is actually a giant or a dwarf.
