Artist Arno Coenen created the “Horn of Plenty” in the covered market, the biggest work of art in the world. Its bright colours cover an area of 11,000 m², resulting in this creation now being known as Rotterdam’s very own Sistine Chapel.

During the realization of the Rotterdam Market Hall (2014) emotions flared. The hall would economically disrupt the nearby street market and mess up sightlines. Well, it probably still does the latter, but it proved to be no problem for the street market - the two customer bases were sufficiently different.
Covered market halls can be found in many cities in the world. But due to the fact that apartments straddle the Rotterdam one, makes is quite unique. The 228 apartments are draped over the market in a horseshoe form. In the hall itself (6200 m2 there are about 100 sales units food stalls and food shops and several restaurants including a supermarket. Design: MVRDV. One of the striking things is the artwork ‘Horn of plenty’ (Horn of Plenty) on the ceiling. It is 11.000 m2 and was designed by Arno Coenen and Iris Roskam.
3D techniques have been used to produce it. To render the huge 1.47 terabyte file, the servers of the Pixar Studios were utilized.

A side façade of the neo-modernist ‘Markthal’ is shown here. It was designed by MVRDV with Winy Maas in the lead. It involved a long and complicated design process in which obvious solutions like two parallel apartment slabs with a glass roof that would covered the sandwiched market floor were rejected because of its commonness.
The Markthal should have an iconic shape and should offer an unique shopping experience – of course, western culture is nowadays driven by the ‘experience economy’ ;-)
Upon its inception there was discussion about the Markthal itself. Its position in the urban grid and the way it would take the trade away from the open air week market. The businesses in the Markthal are mostly up-market, so they didn’t take much business away from the street market traders.

De door FIAT geleverde lagevloertram 5052 passeert de oude markthal L'antica tettoia dell'orologio. Rond de uit metaal en glas opgetrokken hal uit 1916 zijn in de loop der jaren meerdere marktlokaties ontstaan.
FIAT en Stanga leverden tussen 1989 en 1992 in totaal 54 TPR-trams aan het trambedrijf van de hoofstad van de regio Piëmonte. TPR staat voor T.P.R. Tram a Pianale Ribassato. De naam Tram met lagevloer was tijdens de introductie van de eerste generatie lagevloertrams nog een onderscheidende aanduiding. Inmiddels zijn ijna alle nieuwe trams die waar dan ook ter wereld geleverd worden lagevloertrams.
