Rotterdam is truly a world city. The impressive skyline can be seen from afar, enhancing the city’s imposing appearance characterised by such landmarks as the Euromast observation tower and the swan-like curve of the Erasmus Bridge. Rotterdam is known in the Netherlands and abroad as a city of great architecture, featuring many examples of innovative construction.

Rotterdam is in the south of the Randstad. Having a population of 7.1 million, the Randstad is the sixth-largest metropolitan area in Europe (after Moscow, London, the Ruhr Area, Istanbul, and Paris). The southern part of the Randstad (i.e. the part located in the Province of South Holland) is called the “South Wing” (Zuidvleugel). Including Leiden, The Hague, Zoetermeer, Delft, Vlaardingen, Schiedam, Capelle aan den IJssel, Spijkenisse and Dordrecht, the Zuidvleugel has a population of around 3 million.

ROTTERDAM CITY

Rotterdam is the second-largest city in the Netherlands and one of the largest ports in the world. Starting as a dam constructed in 1270 on the Rotte River, Rotterdam has grown into a major international commercial centre. Its strategic location at the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta on the North Sea and at the heart of a massive rail, road, air and inland waterway distribution system extending throughout Europe is the reason that Rotterdam is often called the “Gateway to Europe”.

In the province of South Holland, Rotterdam is in the west of Netherlands and the south of the Randstad. The population of the city was 616,250 on February 1, 2012. The population of the greater Rotterdam area, called “Rotterdam-Rijnmond” or just “Rijnmond”, is approximately 1.3 million. One of Europe’s most vibrant, multicultural cities, Rotterdam is known for its university (Erasmus), cutting-edge architecture, lively cultural life, striking riverside setting and maritime heritage. It is also known for the Rotterdam Blitz.

The largest port in Europe and one of the busiest ports in the world, the port of Rotterdam was the world’s busiest port from 1962 to 2004, when it was surpassed by Shanghai. Rotterdam’s commercial and strategic importance is based on its location near the mouth of the Nieuwe Maas (New Meuse), a channel in the delta formed by the Rhine and Meuse on the North Sea. These rivers lead directly into the centre of Europe, including the industrial Ruhr region.

Settlement at the lower end of the fen stream Rotte (or Rotta, as it was then known, from rot, ‘muddy’ and a, ‘water’, thus ‘muddy water’) dates from at least 900 CE. Around 1150, large fl oods in the area ended development, leading to the construction of protective dikes and dams, including Schielands Hoge Zeedijk (‘Schieland’s High Sea Dike’) along the northern banks of the present-day Nieuwe Maas. A dam on the Rotte or ‘Rotterdam’ was built in the 1260s and was located at the present-day Hoogstraat (‘High Street’).

Rotterdam’s cityscape along the Maas river

ROTTERDAM & THE WATERSCAPE

Rotterdam is a port city and continues to be one of the world’s most important ports, thanks to the Maas River and the Nieuwe Waterweg with its direct connection to the sea. Water also plays an important role in the city centre. The Waterfront district is known for its many inner-city harbours, including Haringvliet, Wijnhaven and Leuvehaven. With its historic cranes, the Maritime Museum and Havenmuseum, the Leuvehaven is industrial heritage that testifi es to the city’s maritime ori-gins.

The Waterfront district includes the Oude Haven, the best place in Rotterdam to sit at a sidewalk café for a drink or meal and enjoy an excellent view of the many historic ships. Besides its cafés and restaurants, the Oude Haven also offers two highlights of Rotterdam architecture: the Witte Huis and the Cube Houses. The ten-story structure of the Witte Huis (White House) designed by Molenbroek was once the fi rst skyscraper in Europe. The remarkable, tilted cube houses by archi-tect Piet Blom are one of Rotterdam’s most eye-catching landmarks. People do live in these unu-sual houses, but show homes are also open to visitors.

Boompjeskade is a waterfront boulevard that has followed the course of the Maas since 1615. The name refers to the luxurious greenery and the double row of linden trees that originally graced the riverbanks. The Boompjes offer a view of the Noordereiland, an island which is linked to the rest of Rotterdam by the Willemsbrug and Koninginnebrug bridges. The Noordereiland has been a protected cityscape since 2005, thanks to what many Rotterdam residents consider the city’s most beautiful structure: The Hef. This old train bridge is the last remnant of where trains once left the centre of Rotterdam.

The 1500 seat auditorium is located across the Erasmus bridge in the heart of the relatively newly developed neighbourhood of Kop van Zuid. What used to be an abandoned area of old docks is now reconnected with the centre of the city. The history of the area and the position of thesite next to the water had a strong infl uence in the design of the building. The auditorium space is surrounded by a network of foyers of different sizes that encourange the audience to wonder around and meet others during the intervals; an intimate and festive atmosphere. A dominating feature of the building is the service ramp. It wraps around the back of it allowing for three 18 metres long trucks to park right outside the stage.The typography of the letters on the billborad is a reference to Oud’s Cafe de Unie.

A restaurant is located on the quay level whereas the theatre with a dance fl oof sits below at water level. The space between the arches of the pier has been given a glass infi ll and the entire structure is embraced by a silver roof.

An excelent example of the De Stijl movement. Another victim of the May the 14th, 1940 air raid. Reconstructed on a different site in the mid-80’s. The lettering and the illuminated signs are part of the architectural synthesis in the geometry of the facade.

The’theatre square’. Raised just 35cm, what has been created is an urban ‘stage’ for social interaction and events. Divided into three functional zones, each with its own type of paving depending on the activity that is hosted. Part of the square are the City Theatre and the Megabioscoop (multiplex). The multiplex is also raised making the square part of its foyer; an effect that is intending to lessen the great mass of the building. The transparent corrugated sheet that wraps the building transforms it to a lighter structure during night.

This is the third cinema the owner opened in the mid 50’s since the previous two were destroyed in an air raid in WW2. When cinemas were moved in the multiplex on Schouwburgplein, the building seemed destined for demolition. Since 2002 it re-opened as a dance club and multi-purpose venue.

SITE 3: Delftshaven

DELFTSHAVENDelfshaven is a borough of Rotterdam on the right bank of river Nieuwe Maas, in South Holland, the Netherlands. It was a separate munici-pality until 1886.The town of Delfshaven grew around the port of the city of Delft. Delft itself was not located on a major river, so in 1389 a harbour was cre-ated about 10 km (6 mi) due south of the city, to be able to receive seafaring vessels and avoid tolls being levied by the neighbouring and competing city of Rotterdam. This settlement was named Delfshaven (“Port of Delft”).

Delft itself was not located on a major river, so in 1389 a harbour was cre-ated about 10 km (6 mi) due south of the city, to be able to receive seafaring vessels and avoid tolls being levied by the neighbouring and competing city of Rotterdam. This settlement was named Delfshaven (“Port of Delft”).

Woonhuis/ Private house Boeve 1931-1933Brinkman & Van der Vlugt

Chabotmuseum (originally a private house) 1938-1939G.W.Baas & L. Stokla

A cluster of villas all completed in the 1930’s, fi ne examples of modernist architecture. A light steel structure was the solution for all of these houses due to the soil conditions of the area.

Netherlands Architecture Institute by J.M.J.Coenen1988-1993Museumpark 25

The building consists of three distinct volumes, one for every function of the institute: archives, exhibitions and staff. Each volume has its own architectural character and relationship with the surroundings. The archives block is an elongated volume that follows the curvature of the road. It stands on concrete piers that form a colonade on which a lightshow is projected after sunset. A brick cladded square block houses the exhibition space and a glass box contains the offi ces and a library that is connected with the study areas of the archive block by a footbridge. The entrance lobby used to be accessed from the side of the Museum Park.

Kunsthal by OMA1988-1992Westzeedijk 341

The Kunsthal is not a museum with a permanent collection, but a building for temporary exhibitions in the fi elds of fi ne and applied arts. The building itself is actually all traffi c space, a system of spiral ramps around a pedestrian route. The outdoor pedestrian route, which also has performed as a ramp, divides the building into two parts. This ramp bridges the dif-ference in height of fi ve meters between the park and Westzeedijk and contains the entrance halfway. The travertine, tarred and concrete walls are used in varying combinations with largeglass surfaces. Each facade is an autonomous unit. The facade of the Westzeedijk works as a showcase.

Museum ParkOMA (Rem Koolhaas, Yves Brunier) 1985-1993, 2011Paul de Ruiter 2005-2010

The Museumpark is divided into four zones: a paved zone, a romantic zone with trees and a pedestrian bridge, an asphalted city zone for events, and a well-tended orchard. The car park designed by Paul de Ruiter uses split levels and lots of glass for a light, spacious and transparent look. The water reservoir prevents fl ooding in the city centre during heavy rainfall

Boijmans van Beuningen Museum ExtensionP. Robbrecht & H.Daem1997-2003Museumpark 18-20

The demolition of a villa enabled the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum to expand with a new U-shaped wing, enfolding Bodon’s gallery. The big windows and green transparent panels of the new addition contrast with the brickwork of the original buildings. Furthermore, this transparency allows the visitor to keep contact with the outside world without distructing the experi-ence with the art.

CINEMAS

Cinemas in RotterdamIn Rotterdam’s cinemas you can enjoy all kinds of movies from Hollywood blockbusters to Asian art movies. The good thing about watching movies in the Netherlands is that they are all shown in their original language with Dutch sub-titles. There are 4 cinemas in Rotterdam, all with multiple screens. In the centre you can go to Pathe Schouwburgplein and Cinerama and in the south of Rotterdam you can visit Pathé De Kuip or LantarenVenster.

The cinemas in Rotterdam are uniqueThe cinemas in Rotterdam are not conventional cinemas, because they’ve got some special attributes: Cinema Pathé Schouwburgplein in Rotterdam centre has got the largest screen of the Netherlands. Cinema Pathé De Kuip in Rot-terdam is the largest cinema in the Netherlands. Cinerama shows similar movies, but is smaller. Cinerama shows lesser-known cultural cinema movies as well. The same goes for LantarenVenster where you mainly fi nd cultural fi lms and fi lms for children.

1. Pathé Schouwburgplein

Pathé Schouwburgplein is a seven-screen cinema in the middle of city centre. You just can’t miss the huge cube-shaped building at the Schouwburgplein.

Diverse programme: Most of the screens in the cinema have got about 120 seats and the biggest screen has got almost 300 seats.

42nd edition of the International Film Festival Rotterdam23 January until 3 February 2013 http://www.fi lmfestivalrotterdam.com/en

The program will be announced Thursday January 17 2013 on this website. International Film Festival Rotterdam is a platform for independent, artistic fi lms and for new, up-and-coming talent from around the world. During the twelve-day festival, fi lms are screened which would never get a chance otherwise and fi lmmakers and visitors can discuss fi lm, be inspired by current themes and jointly celebrate the festival.

The fi rst festival — then called ‘Film International’ — was organized in June 1972 under the leadership of Huub Bals. The IFFR’s logo is a tiger, loosely based on the M.G.M. lion. From the beginning, the festival has profi led itself as a promoter of alternative, innovative and non-commercial fi lms, with an emphasis on the Far East and developing coun-tries. Around 1983, the festival founded CineMart to serve as a “regular fi lm market,” and later modifi ed the business model to serve instead as a “co-production market”,which helps a selected number of fi lm producers connect with possible co-producers and funders for their fi lm projects. After the festival founder’s sudden death in 1988, a fund was initiated and named after him (Hubert Bals Fund), used for supporting fi lmmakers from developing countries.

The non-competitive character of the festival changed in 1995, when the VPRO Tiger Awards were introduced—three yearly prizes for young fi lmmakers making their fi rst or second fi lm. The next year, Simon Field, formerly Cinema Director at the London Institute of Contemporary Arts, became director of the festival. In 2004 Sandra den Hamer took over as director of the festival, and since September 2007, the leadership is in the hands of Rutger Wolfson. Despite fi nancial diffi culties in the mid-1980s, the festival has grown steadily, reaching 353,000 visitors in 2010.

Online booking:The full IFFR programme for 2013 will be published on this website on the morning of Thursday 17 January 2013. Online ticket sales start at 20:00 on the evening of Friday 18 January.

Rates:In 2013, the price of a standard ticket will amount to €11,00.
