Gateway to Rotterdam: icons, innovation, inspiration
😃 So happy to share! We've had the honor to be partner of Nederlands Fotomuseum. Together with the museum and the architect we've developed an insightful tour to the architecture of the museum's new home: the monumental warehouse Santos. 🏫 The Santos building has been transformed carefully to open up as future ready museum, with: . a ground floor open to everybody . the Hall of Fame . the 'have a peek inside' archives and restoration studio's . two floors for changing exhibitions . the rooftop restaurant with terrace overlooking the new beach in the Rijnhaven 🖊 The most inventively designed feature - besides the golden crown as fifth facade - is the atrium: . check out the section-image to discover that the enormous square openings that are cut out in each floor are specifically positioned........in both the width and the depth of the building the atrium makes a shift! 💫 in this way the light dances down the floors, each sunny hour highlighting different parts of the building and the collection. 🗝 The last opportunity for the public this year to join a tour to the architecture of the museum's new home is offered during the Open Monumenten Dag festival on 14-15 September. Starting fall, the interior of the building will be further transformed to get fully ready for all visitors and staff. 👑 The new Nederlands Fotomuseum is a true national asset to the city of Rotterdam, can't wait for the opening in September 2025! Thank you Birgit Donker, Ditte Ooms, Grace Wong-Si-Kwie and Karin Wolf for the opportunity and the collaboration.
