This front part of the Buntweg/Rijnhaven Zz has disappeared. It was, of course, to be expected - the whole area between the Bundweg/Rijnhaven Zz is in redevelopment. De Bund will be created here.
The car repair shops and second-hand car dealers are gone. They stopped trading or moved to another part of town. On the right is the former Santos veem (a coffee (from Brasil) warehouse) that is being transformed to accommodate the Nederlands Foto Museum, and in the BG is Bayhouse.
Check out the visual history of the transformation of this street: here. It started with the vemen that lost their storage function in the mid-2000s.
This is number 17 of the Bundweg/Rijnhaven Zz album.

Shed in a birds nest.
Ik denk niet dat het enige uitleg behoeft; de Class 66 en in het bijzonder de 'Hommels' in dienst van RRF zijn verreweg mijn grote favorieten op het spoor. Neem daarbij een bovenleidingloze spoorlijn, een ferme trein aan de haak plus zonnig weer en het plezier in een hobby die ik al 24 jaar bedrijf komt na een enorme coronadip gelukkig weer helemaal terug!
Met uiteraard in acht te nemen geen mensenmassa op te zoeken en voldoende afstand te bewaren tot anderen werd kans gevonden toch weer even wat aan de dierbare hobby te doen en omdat ik de goede zin door het missen van vele leuke dingen behoorlijk kwijt was werd daarom de grote favoriet opgezocht om de passie weer op te laden, met succes!
Temidden van tientallen zeemeeuwen die dit stukje Europoort West ervaren als hun broedgebied rolt de RRF PB 01 behoedzaam naar het enige tientallen meters verderop gelegen sein na zojuist een volbeladen VTG kolentrein te hebben uitgehaald bij de EECV. Na de inmiddels bekende wagencontrole zal de machinist het verzoek doen door te mogen rijden naar emplacement Europoort alwaar een tweetal Traxx locomotieven in dienst van Captrain gereed staan om het vervolg van de reis voor hun rekening te nemen.
Europe, Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Willemsbrug, Scaffolding, Containment covering (slightly cut from all sides).
The Willembrug (1981, Cor Veerling) is undergoing a major maintenance operation. Paint is being removed first. It’s blasted from the metal frame of the bridge using grit (a very coarse abrasive powder). A new coat of paint will be applied after that.
The diagonal structure in front of the scaffolding are the tuien (cable stays) of the bridge. And their shadows.
Some weeks ago asbestos was found in the grit and ofcourse the works were promptly halted. The grit was being used since last July. The grit that had been previously used caused nuisance - cars were damaged because metal particles of the grit caused rust spots and the consists were changed. But alas one containing asbestos.
Later no traces of asbestos were found in the containment tent and on the bridge itself and with a non-lethal version of the grit the work recommenced. Checkout this.

A tram network is one of the most effective modes of public transportation. It’s zero-emission, high density and relatively fast (when the trams can run on independent tracks).
But it’s pretty capital intensive and not very flexible too. When an operator, like the Rotterdam RET here on the City – South line, decides that a tram service will be split in two, for the shortened service a separate return loop (keer lus) has to be created. Because most trams have only one driving cabin and can’t just simply change driving direction. In this case, a loop that uses the Postumalaan and the Veemstraat that connects to the existing tracks on the Laan Op Zuid has to be built.
Shown here are workers who are aligning the newly laid tracks. in the BG is the southern Erasmus bridge ramp.

A detail of the façade of the Theater Zuidplein showcasing its layered construction (industrial brick, aluminium panelling and glass).
The Rotterdam Zuid municipal library is integral to the Theater Zuidplein ( 2020). It has three halls and several studios. Archtect: De Zwarte Hond (Bart van Kampen). Metadecor engineered and produced the ornamental semi-transparent façade (material: anodized aluminium).
The Zuidplein Theatre is a development of the 'Hart van Zuid', a public-private partnership organization primarily focused on the Zuidplein and the Ahoy events complex. The participants: the Municipality of Rotterdam, Ballast Nedam and Heijmans. Other projects in the Hart van Zuid portfolio are an extension of the Zuidplein shopping centre, a new bus station, a hotel, housing, and medical facilities. In the process, the surrounding public spaces will also be completely redesigned.

Geschiedenis
De molen bemaalde de ten zuiden van de Tiensweg gelegen westelijke polderdeel Streefkerk en Kortebroek tot 1957, toen hij buiten gebruik werd gesteld, op de lage boezem van de Overwaard. In 1614 is op de plaats van deze molen al een "Broeckmolen" bekend.
De molen is sinds 1949 met het wieksysteem Fauël uitgerust en doet nog dienst als reserve-gemaal voor het hoogheemraadschap.
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Timmerhuis (OMA), Atrium (cut from all sides)
The modular frame and cells of an atrium of the Timmerhuis look less severe maybe even a bit 'organic', when captured with a fisheye lens.
About the ‘Timmerhuis’. The first 5 floors of this OMA
building (Rem Koolhaas, Reinier de Graaf. Interior design: Saskia Simon, Katrien van Dijk) are used by the municipality of Rotterdam (22.000 square meters, max capacity of 1800 civil servants) and Museum Rotterdam, the top section of the building is formed by 84 apartments. It’s this level that gives the building its striking multi-'cube' shape. In OMA speak, the rectangular 'cubes' are called pixels.
Other defining features are its play with inside/outside, due to the extensive use of partly translucent glass (OMA likes to call the building ‘a cloud of glass and steel’) and last but not least its internal metal modular frame which defines the building’s internal space – it divides and unites, as is shown in this capture, which is shot into one of the two atriums of the building.
The modular frame is obviously empty in the atriums. One is shown here. The size of an individual cell is 7,2 x 7,2 x 3.6 m and when a cell is actually filled it becomes a 'pixel' with a floor area of 50 square meter.
More about the atriums: "through the two large atriums, which act like lungs. They are connected to a climate system that stores warmth in summer and cold in winter and releases this energy as warm or cold air as required" . Source: here.

The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Kop van Zuid, Wilhelminepier, De Rotterdam building site
From the archives. Shot during the construction of De Rotterdam 'vertical city'. Renzo Piano's Belvédère (2000, KPN HQ) forms the backdrop of the two Wolff tower cranes (three, if you count one of the shadows in the right-bottom corner too).
Züblin was, by the way, the main building contractor.
This is what I wrote 9 years ago at the start of the construction process:
"De Rotterdam, a very large Rem Koolhaas (OMA) designed array of three linked highrises. Construction was started in 2010. The edifice will have 41 floors and a floor space of approximately 160,000 square meters. The height: will be 149 meters. Its massive presence will dominate the skyline of Kop van Zuid - perhaps too much so.
The start of the construction was 1 year late because of the economic crisis - the floorspace demand plummeted dramatically on the already oversaturated office space market. The municipality stepped in to rescue the project 'cause it was deemed of strategical importance to the Kop van Zuid (and it probably is). The rescue was the decision to rent a considerable amount of the office space - after completion of the building a substantial part of Rotterdam's civil servant's workforce will move to 'De Rotterdam'.
'De Rotterdam' won't be only about offices, apartments, a hotel, conference facilities, a gym, shops, restaurants and cafe will be created too. The resulting vertical density has inspired the project developers to coin and market it as a 'Vertical City'. A not highly inspired name - the Montevideo highrise (Mecanoo/Francien Houben) - the highrise with the M on top in the pic ) was introduced the same way ;-)"
