2011 BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOS
2012 Architecten - Stadskantoor, the temporary facade of Rotterdam’s central administrative office, 2011.

Until I crossed the canals, which are suddenly swarming with people. They are ice skating, playing with their kids and walking their dogs on the city’s transient extra space.

It is interesting to see how people take advantage of the opportunity and use these sudden extra amount of public space. Actually, considering the fact that Amsterdam is built around an extensive, centuries-old water infrastructure, this all of a sudden gives you a whole new way of experiencing the city: from below. Go and try it!
