Pro riders from the Giant-Aplecin team some minutes before assembling for the start of the first stage of the 2015 World Port Classic (Rotterdam-Antwerp-Rotterdam). I recognized Ramon Sinkeldam.
"The World Ports Classic was a two-day European race held between the port cities of Rotterdam and Antwerp, organized by ASO as a 2.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour. The race was held between 2012 and 2015.
In all years except for 2013, the riders started in Rotterdam, finishing the first day in Antwerp before riding in the opposite direction on the second and final day. A leader's jersey was awarded to the winner of the first stage, to be defended on the second stage."

The Rotterdam harbour is best explored by touring thru it. But a visit to Portlantis is still vital, because it offers an excellent overview using its observation deck. And on the five floors below, the harbour's technical and logistical stories are told. MVDRV designed the building.
Shown here is the observation deck with some visitors (families love it) and the view of the ECT 2 terminal and a power station.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Charloise Hoofd, former Dokhaven, Hoge Maas (cut from all sides)
The Hoge Maas tower is located on the south bank of the Maas at the Dokhavenpark. It’s build on the former Dokhaven which was filled in and redeveloped in 1983. Together with this tower, various other (amongst them low/moderate cost) housing projects were realized. They’re all grouped around the park, above an underground wastewater treatment plant.
The tower was designed in 1999 by Benthem Crouwel Architekten, has 24 floors and is 72 meters high. Due to the cross-shaped floor plan, all the five apartments of a floor have a view of the water and a balcony.
The reinforced core of the edifice was built using 'glijbekisting' (tunnel formwork). The facade consists of large glass panels and solid parts of dark gray 'panelcraft' panels. Natural stone is incorporated in the cement-bound slabs which shimmers in the sun.
About the Charlois’ Dokhaven. It was a small stub of the Nieuwe Maas, dug between 1881 and 1882. It was 320 m long and about 150 m wide and is between the Maashaven and The Sint Janshaven. It once accommodated three municipal floating dry-docks with respective lengths of 48, 90 and 110 m (suitable for the largest ships of the time). Its history: With the rapid increase of the number of steamships, Rotterdam’s 1 dry dock was not enough and ships had to go to Antwerp for maintenance - it had 5 dry docks. This was not an efficient solution and posed logistic problems. The private sector didn’t rise to this challenge so the municipality eventually stepped in and created the needed capacity.

Europe, Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Scheveningen, North Sea, Waves, Incoming tide, Pillars (slightly cut)
The 'Scheveningse Pier' has a long and checkered history. During its most recent transformation, a quantum leap was made: its two dreary & dysfunctional annexes were at last dealt with. One was torn down completely (well, a few rusty pillar remain) and the other annexe was partly demolished and used as a base for a big and cheery ferris wheel. The inside of the Pier was restyled and the big round restaurant (formerly operated by a restaurant / hotel chain 'which name shall not be mentioned' is restyled and reopened too. Lunching there was an all around pleasant experience. And last but not least: the massive concrete pillars were clad in a weathersealed colourful foil. Colourful and due to chosen colour palet somewhat surreal.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Rijnhaven, Low tide, Sea gulls (cut from T)
The filling-in of the Rijnhaven is nearing its completion. Sand slurry is being pumped in for months to do this. The former harbour will be partly (30%) filled in to enable the realization of, amongst others, an office/apartment building strip with up to 200m high towers called the 'Skyline Posthumalaan' with an adjacent park and city beach. And there will be the floating Rijnhavenpark, too.
One of the Wilhelminapier's usual suspects is present thru its reflection: The parking deck of the New Luxor theatre.
.
The history of the Rijnhaven: It was created in 1895 to offer shelter for Rhine vessels ('rijnaken'), when during the winter, these vessels could not operate due to the freezing of the rivers. After the creation of the harbour, the transit freight traffic to Rotterdam continued to increase, and the new Rijnhaven was made suitable for large sea-going vessels by deepening it. As planned, the Rijnhaven became an essential port for the transhipment of bulk goods 'on stream' - the sea-going vessels were moored on buoys, separate from the quay, and their cargo was directly moved to rhine ships. In the 70s/80s of the last century, the Rijnhaven lost its transhipment function and was returned to its old role. In 2015, the rhine ship berths were moved to, among others, the Maashaven. Enabling the redevelopment of the old harbour.

Gemeentemuseum The Hague [1935] by architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage. The architect considered this latest work of his as his best. Sadly he did not live to see the completion of it.
Europe, Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Kop van Zuid, Wilhelminaplein, Façades (uncut)
The façade the Maastoren ( Dam & partners architects, 2010) with its characteristic metal struts and the Wihelminatoren (Zwarts & Jansma, 1998) in the back. For the construction of the Maastoren a small part of the Maas was filled in.
During its design and construction there was fierce opposition to the project in the quarter, mainly because of the shadow it would cast on the neighbouring Noordereiland and because of the integrated 600 car garage at the bottom level of the tower and the extra traffic/congestion which would be the result of that. People found this parking facility perverse since the tower is adjacent to a major subway and tram hub: Wilhelminaplein station. Eventually, it became a court case and the judge ruled in favour of project developer OVG and investor SEB. The traffic intensity indeed went up after the building was opened.
The 7Artisans fisheye shows its pleasing ‘deconstructivist’ ability. The album is here.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Centrum, Tweede Blekerhof/Blekerstraat, Eneco, Onderstation stadsverwarming, Chimney (slightly cropped from B &T)
The district heating substation Blekerstraat Rotterdam (1961) mainly serves as an emergency facility in the event of calamities or extreme cold now.
The modernist building is enclosed on three sides by the surrounding building blocks but is free-standing. It fills almost the entire Second Blekerhof. It has a steel skeleton; the facades consist of a combination of glass surfaces and brick. The building has a nicely utilitarian character and mainly forms an enclosure for the heating boilers. The building was commissioned in 1961 and designed by Municipal Works Rotterdam.

At the start of the work of Scheveningen North boulevard, a German bunker with a corridor system was found, in good condition.
Kasteel Duivenvoorde (Castle Duivenvoorde) is in the town of Voorschoten, Zuid-Holland in the Netherlands. It was first mentioned in 1226, making it one of the older castles in Zuid-Holland
The castle is remarkable in that it was never sold; it was inherited by several different noble houses, sometimes through the matrilineal line, something that can be said of very few Dutch castles. For the first five centuries of its history, the castle was owned by one and the same family, namely the Van Duivenvoordes, who gave their name - at that time, van Duvenvoirde - to the castle. Though the castle was named thus, the van Duvenvoirdes properly formed part of the House of Wassenaer, an ancient noble family that has played an important role in Dutch history. Toward the end of the 17th century an owner of Kasteel Duivenvoorde, Johan, retook the name of van Wassenaar, upon which the House of Duivenvoorde became merely another name in the castle’s history.
This is a fantastic castle for photographers. I hope you like the shot I made here.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Afrikaanderbuurt, Tweebosbuurt, Demolition, Escavator, Workers (very slightly cut)
The Afrikaanderwijk (the Tweebosbuurt is an integral part of it) in Rotterdam's Feijenoord district was created at the beginning of the last century when the port was undergoing rapid growth and the local labour market offered insufficient supply to keep up. In the 20s cheap housing was quickly constructed by project developers to accommodate the domestic migrant workers from the south and the north of Holand. Later international migrants replaced the domestic ones.
The houses were of questionable quality. From the 70s onwards, this also turned out to have consequences for the lifespan of the complexes and residential blocks concerned. Renovation and demolition were on the agenda. It was the time (that of Jan Schaefer) when there were sufficient government funds for this. Alas and yet again, both the renovated and newly created housing was largely cheaply built. With the consequence that now, about 30 to 40 years later, renovation and demolition are back in the picture..... And this time it had not only to do with the technical condition of the housing blocks, but with a strong trend in Dutch public housing.
The government had to a large extent chosen to shed its responsibility for this – one aspect of the broader ‘neo-conservative (in Holland we call it neo-liberaal) politics. During the so-called Brutation operation (bruteringsoperatie, 2nd half of the 90s) the government public housing subsidies were phased out. As compensation, the debts of the housing corporations were cancelled (taken over by the government). A sum of 30 billion Euros was involved. And the corporations were privatized and reinvented themselves as for-profit real estate companies. And neighbourhoods like Tweebos would reap the 'benefits' of it.
The solution for the poor condition of the blocks was the demolition and redevelopment of the neighbourhood as a place for primarily expensive rental and owner-occupied housing. This wasn’t an easy process. Tenants didn’t want to go since they hardly had viable alternatives. And there was litigation. Last year even a committee of inspectors (‘rapporteurs) of the United Nations stepped in and concluded that human rights hadn’t been respected. But all to no avail. The demolition was started while the litigation hadn’t come to a conclusion and some tenants still lived in the Tweebos quarter. Some still live there now, more than a year in the process.
It’s been a while since Rotterdam was one of the European front runners of social housing.
This is number 585 of Rotterdam architecture and 58 of facades.

It doesn't seem to get more industrial than this, the Boskalis trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) Strandway (Shipkits Groningen and Stocznia, Poland (2014)) in the Rijnhaven in front of the 'Cordico' flour plant. It’s there for the redevelopment of the Rijnhaven. Worldwide there aren't a lot of these dredgers, an they move all over the world. The Strandway for instance, was used for the dredging of the New Suez canal.
Some background about this old harbour basin. It was created in 1895 to offer shelter for Rhine vessels (rijnaken), when they could not operate due to the freezing of the rivers during the winter. After the creation of the Rijnhaven (Rhine harbour), the transit freight traffic to Rotterdam continued to increase and it was made suitable for large sea-going vessels by deepening it. As planned, the Rijnhaven became an important port for the transhipment of bulk goods 'on stream' - the sea-going vessels were moored on buoys, separate from the quay and their cargo was moved directly to rhine ships. In de 70/80s of the last century, the Rijnhaven lost its transhipment function and was brought back to its old function. In 2015, the rhine ship berths were moved to, among others, the Maashaven. Enabling the redevelopment of the old harbor of which 30% will be filled up. The rest of the harbor will be turned into a floating park: here.
In the BG is the former Co-Op factory , then Latenstein’s meelfabriek (flour factory) and now Codrico. Architect: J.J.M. Vegter / engineering: A. Aronsohn. It consists of a silo building and a mill building on the quay. In the building, all parts of the manufacturing process have been given their own building proper part with their own construction and their own architectural expression. There’s, by the way, a nice urban legend about the structure on top of the silo: Rumour had it that urbanist Riek Bakker (who designed the Kop van Zuid) lived there for a while to get the right sense of place of the area ;-)
The somewhat silly ".7xEF20-213mm f/4.5" in the camera/lens description, flags the use of the Viltrox 'Canon to Lumix' mount adaptor / speedbooster in combination with the good old Tamron AF 28-300 LD ASP 285D.
