We will highlight the ways in which historical and ultramodern building combine to give Rotterdam its unique and lively architectural character. See the Market Hall, the famous Cube Houses, the White house and House Sonneveld which is one of the best-preserved homes built in the Dutch Functionalist style. During the tour you will get an impression of architectural innovation that changed the skyline of Rotterdam since WW2. The guide will point out the works of famous architects such as Winy Maas, designer of the Market Hall, Francien Houben of the Mecanoo architecture firm, and OMA’s Rem Koolhaas, known for his Carpentry House (‘Timmerhuis’). This architecture city walk can be expanded with a visit to the New Institute, the museum for architecture, design and digital culture.
