Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Zuidplen, High rises, Rotterdamse DagenDagen/Bovenop Zuid, Boarding, Cables (uncut).
Captured during the 'Bovenop Zuid' roofwalk on the roof of the ZuidPlein shopping mall.
The walk is street-at rich and fascinating. The artist(collectives) showcased @ Bovenop Zuid are: here.
The context: "In modern cities, miles of unused flat rooftops await a new function. Rotterdam alone has over 18 square kilometres of unused flat roofs. That must change, and the rooftops can provide the space to realize the housing challenge, energy transition, climate change and inclusiveness in cities". Text: from the Dakendagen website.
By the way: Hurry, Bovenop Zuid closes on June 30.
This is number 10 of Rotterdamse Daken Dagen 2022 & 2023 and ofcourse 1421 of Minimalism/explicit Graphism.

Europe, Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Kop van Zuid, Wilhelminaplein, Sculpture (slightly cut)
A structure on the Wilhelmineplein, facing the regional Courthouse which I identified as a sculpture, but I ain't sure it is. There are probably a myriad of metaphoric connections to be made between this structure and a courthouse. But I was not thinking about it when I shot this – the motive was purely graphic, as it often is ;-)
This is number 1325 of Minimalism & explicit Graphism
and 311 of Urban frontiers.
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Feijenoord, Supermarket, Oranges (cut from B&T)

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Diergaarde Blijdorp, Cage (slightly cut from l)
The top part of the cage of the ringtail maki's (lemur catta). There are cables suspended from the top that can be climbed.
The cage is of course central to the concept of the Zoo- animals kept in captivity. They're cared for, fed, and treated when ill but aren't allowed to leave.

The soundtrack is Martha & the Muffins. This quirky 80s song goes well with the fun-loving style of William Alsop.
This is number 1195 of Minimalism Explicit graphism and 601 of Rotterdam architecture.
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Den Haag CS, Light sculpture

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.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Den Haag, Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB), Installation (uncut)
The Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB, Royal Library) was designed by modernist OD205 (1982). The KB contains the largest book collection in the Netherlands. In addition to the library, the building houses reading cabinets, the National Office for Art History Documentation and the Literary Museum. The reading rooms have large voids with trusses. Characteristic are also the rounded corners, receding facade surfaces and a rigid measuring grid. Some 5,200 white aluminum plates cover the facade. OD 205 also designed the extension (2003-2006) above the adjacent tram viaduct. Source: KB.

Sunset in spring over the lake called Gaatkensplas.
Loaction: Barendrecht , Zuid-Holland , Nederland, Europa.
Always this lake has it's wonderful moments. Ofcourse one can dream away at it's beautiful sunrise or sunset, but the lake has more then that.
If I remember well, before the lake was made a long time ago (it is an artificial lake) I walked through the wasteland there. It was so interesting for me, dead tree shapes, mud, old stones. Nothing for the materialist dutch people here. But, later on I learned that my feeling was right. Now, underneath the water there is an archaeological site of the Klokbeker people preserved, who lived here even earlier then us, wow... thats old.
The Klokbeker name refers to the people who lived in the Netherlands between approximately 2500 and 1900 BC. They are named after a characteristic earthenware cup that, when turned upside down, looks a bit like a bell or clock.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Cool, Coolhaven, Little C
Much has already been said and written about Little C. See the previous post for a little sample.
The style of the building complex can partly be traced back to the inherent cynicism of the project developers that created a project that uses the morphology of ultimately very problematic urban districts/housing complexes like The Projects (New York) and the long ago demolished Kowloon (Hong Kong) quarter.
This is number 298 of Zwart/Wit.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Diergaarde Blijdorp, Dalmatian Pelicans (uncut)
"The Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus) is the largest member of the pelican family, and perhaps the world's largest freshwater bird, although rivalled in weight and length by the largest swans. With a range spanning across much of Central Eurasia, from the Mediterranean in the West to the Taiwan Strait in the East, and from the Persian Gulf in the South to Siberia in the North, it is a short-to-medium-distance migrant between breeding and overwintering areas."

Shot at the delightful Blijdorp Zoo. Something spooked the group - possibly too many people lookin' at them ;-).
