The brand new " De Rotterdam" skyscraper in Rotterdam. Architect: Rem Koolhaas (OMA). Finished: 2014.
Next to it (the smaller one) is the KPN Telecom Building.
"De Rotterdam" is the largest construction in Europe on an area of only 1 football field (50 by 100 meters). It has 44 floors and 160,000 square meters in total for offices, apartments, hotels, restaurants, bars and shops.
That, in the background, is the one building that blocks my perfect view.
Stupid Telecoms.

Telecom telephone from the 1970's. I find these a most pleasing piece of industrial design; simple, quite elegant, nothing superfluous.
The BT Tower is a communications tower located in Fitzrovia, London, owned by BT Group. It has been previously known as the GPO Tower, the Post Office Tower and the Telecom Tower. The main structure is 177 metres (581 ft) high, with a further section of aerial rigging bringing the total height to 191 metres (627 ft). Its Post Office code was YTOW.
Upon completion in 1964, it overtook the Millbank Tower to become the tallest building in both London and the United Kingdom, titles that it held until 1980, when it in turn was overtaken by the NatWest Tower.
A bomb, responsibility for which was at first blamed on the Provisional IRA, exploded in the roof of the men's toilets at the Top of the Tower restaurant at 04:30 on 31 October 1971. Responsibility for the bomb was also claimed by members of the Angry Brigade, a far-left anarchist collective. That act left the tower largely closed to the general public.
The restaurant was closed to the public for security reasons a matter of months after the bombing in 1971. Later 1980 was the year in which Butlins' lease expired. Public access to the building ceased in 1981.
