As their timeline indicates the construction of Rotterdam’s new icon is finally finished. In the following months their team will be occupied with the housing and interior of it all which means we are one step closer to the Grand Opening. Though we are not there yet, we should all celebrate every milestone that we accomplish. So that’s exactly what we did. Together with a group of tastemakers, community leaders and the good folks of Boijmans we gathered for the Silver Opening of the newly built Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen. We were asked to document what our eyes captured and how we experienced our first time in the astonishing building. Of course we had somewhat of an expectation beforehand, but to be honest it wasn’t at all what we foresaw. A very tasteful and elegant blend of futuristic and modern design, with influences from a few of history’s great masters of art. We don’t want give away too much, and you should really just go visit and let it all come over you but it’s just crazy how the architectural team managed to implement cross-overs in their design. The Piranesi staircase for instance; very well done guys.
