Katendrecht tectonics (Katendrechtse Hoofd) (2)

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Katendrecht, High ruise, Facade Katendrechts Hoofd (cut from B & T)

 

After the Rotterdam harbour activities were moved to the outer ring of the Rotterdam agglomeration in the 80s, the Katendrecht quarter is, at last, undergoing a massive redevelopment.

 

There are now terraced houses and apartment buildings and a school, on the southern edge (the Maashaven side) of Katendrecht, the place where once the Hanno freight terminal was.

 

Shown here is the facade of one of the highrises near the 2nd Katendrechts hoofd.

 

And tectonics is still meant in the architectural, not geological sense ;-)

 

This is number 303 of the Urban Frontiers album and 73 of Facades.
