Shipping and Transport Rotterdam

architectenbureau cepezed as Architects

Not-realized maritime education building, designed as a striking eye-catcher, intended for a marvellous location at the head of the Lloyd Pier in Rotterdam, directly on the River Maas near the Euromast. The building fits well into the scale of the surrounding harbour architecture and, just like the adjoining former warehouse Sint Jacobsveem, consists of a simple main volume. However, that is the full extent of the similarity. The building has been designed as an enormous transparent ship with a second skin of horizontal slats. The plinth accommodates the large, two-storey communal areas such as the central hall, the infotheque, the sports centre, and the auditorium. The heart of the building houses the technological areas and simulators, while the place with the most splendid view is reserved for the restaurant with a pavement café on the quayside. Escalators lead to the upper floors with the other functions. The classrooms and practical rooms are situated on the first floor. The top floor houses the administration and management functions. The floors are mutually connected by stairs and inclines, and can be partitioned as required so that each department can create its own distinct identity.
