Tours in Rotterdam

Rot­ter­dam has rein­ven­ted itself more rad­ic­ally than any oth­er Dutch city. After the Second World War left its centre in ruins, it embraced a new iden­tity as a test­ing ground for pro­gress­ive ideas in archi­tec­ture and urb­an plan­ning. Today, the city’s built envir­on­ment ranges from post­war mod­ern­ism to recent highrises, and from har­bour con­ver­sions to com­munity-driv­en hous­ing pro­jects. Glob­al prac­tices like OMA and MVRDV, both foun­ded here, con­tin­ue to shape the debate.

“Our guide was really know­ledge­able into the area and its evol­u­tion, and the whole con­text of flood­ing in Rot­ter­dam. There were also very inter­est­ing documents.”
