A city reborn

In Rotterdam anything is possible, and you can see it in the skyline. During World War II the city was literally brought to its knees, but as Nietzsche wrote, "What doesn't destroy me makes me stronger."

Nowadays Rotterdam is an architectural mecca and sports a beautiful skyline. It is home to one of the world's famous bridges, the Erasmus bridge aka "The Swan", not to mention the Netherlands' tallest residential building (the New Orleans) and tallest office building (the Maastoren). These three are located a stone's throw from each other along the Meuse River in the trendy Kop van Zuid neighborhood. This is where we live.

Armand studied architecture and was one of the first residents to move here in the 90s, back when the Erasmus bridge and some of the first buildings were being built. And one of the perks of living here is that Armand only has to step outside to find cool subjects to photograph.
