If there is one city that is known for its modern architecture, it is Rotterdam. Think of the Markthal or the Depot art-storage facility.

In this walk, world-famous Rotterdam architect Winy Maas shows you high-profile buildings that were designed either by himself or his colleagues. But Winy also lets you look at the city itself. How did Rotterdam become what it is today? And how can it continue to grow?

Whether you are a Rotterdammer or just a visitor to the city, this Tramhuis walk shows you Rotterdam as seen through the eyes of Winy Maas.


That’s typical of Rotterdam: this city’s never finished. That’s a cliché of course, but at the same time it’s a fantastic motto.
