Between the bridge and the unknown
Rotterdam / The Netherlands /1771
As you step off the tram or cross the Erasmus Bridge heading south, a steel frame quietly marks the edge of the site. Most people pass by without noticing it, yet this frame serves as an elevated walkway, offering unique vantage points of the city.
From this walkway, you can observe the lower area by the water, where a few white seating elements are scattered. To the east, a small fountain-like feature stands in isolation, further emphasizing the site’s underutilization. This space reflects the 1990s-2000s design ethos, characterized by hard materials and bold colors but lacking a clear programmatic purpose or adaptability to contemporary needs.
