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.

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.

The last day of 2018... hard to grasp sometimes that only a few years back this reclaimed Maasvlakte harbour section still used to be the North Sea. This day I experimented with HDR a bit, which came in handy with the backlight situation in this scene.

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.

Europe, Holland, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Kop van Zuid, Cité, Scaffolding (uncut)
Shot on Rotterdam's Kop van Zuid - a large former harbour urban restructuring area. In the BG is an office building of the inner revenue service and on the right is the Cité student/starters tenement building (by Tangram architecten, 2010) currently undergoing partial renovation of its façade.
The fence in the FG belongs to the RET – it delineates the part of the subway line where the elevated part of the tracks dives into the underground part of the network to access station Wilhelminepier and cross under the river Maas right after that.

Europe, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Maas, Maasboulevard, Prachtig terrace, People, Rain (slightly cut from T, B & R)
While having some nice Trappist beers, the expected rain came. And how refreshing it was. After savouring the first moments, all we had to do is grab our glasses and take shelter under one of the big black sun shades and continue talking & drinking.
In the BG are De Zwaan (UNstudio) , the Belvédère (Piano) and De Rotterdam (OMA).
Shot with my new cell phone, a Note 10 Lite, I was surprised by the quality of the wide-angle lens and the malleability of the file.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Kop van Zuid, Rijnhaven, Dredging, Boskalis, Strandway (slightly cut from B &T)
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.

The Sand Motor is an innovative method for coastal protection. It is a huge volume of sand that has been applied along the coast of the province South-Holland at the city of Monster in 2011. Wind, waves and currents will spread the sand naturally along of South-Holland coastline. It's like building with nature. The Sand Motor will gradually change in shape and will eventually befully incorporated into the dunes and the beach. The coast will be broader and safer.
The Argus Mast is a 40 meter high mast with 8 cameras which cover the Sand Motor from every angle, to check its progress.

Europe, Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Centre, Witte de Withstraat, Facades, Staricase, Mural (cut from all sides).
After the Witte de Withstraat & quarter lost two national newspapers due to their move to the periphery of town, it eventually became a backstreet with brothels, seedy cafes etc. After a process of revitalization in which the street's tenants, house owners and small businesses played a major role, it is the epicentre of the Rotterdam progressive art scene now. And a very pleasant street to spend some leisure time.
One of the few examples of large scale requalifications without gentrification.
The shown buildings are modernist. On the left is 'De Leuve' office building (H.D. Bakker, 1958) on the corner of the Witte de Withstraat and the Leuvehaven ('60s) and a 'wederopbouw' office huilding one block back.

A disconnected Cable TV/Internet junction box and rubble - some of the more recent houses in the Tweebos quarter had a concrete core. And how evocative an artefact like this can be.
The demolition of the Tweebosbuurt is in an advanced state now. Check out the back story here.
