New square and the arched pavilion
Pompgebouw
Located in an neglected area in Rotterdam city center, the Pompgebouw is a proposal on what could activate this site that is part of a big redevelopment. As part of a strategy to nurture the raw qualities of the site, and to create a new metropolitan connection between the north and south side of the train tracks, Pompgebouw is inspired by city life.
