ROTTERDAM PERISCOPE
by Emiliano Gandolfi

Emiliano Gandolfi: Part of the gradual revitalization of
the port of Rotterdam, the Shipping and Transport
College is the ultimate "urban icon," not at all what
one would expect of a school building. How did it come
about?
Willem Jan Neutelings: We had to bear in mind the
particular character of the College, created 15 years
before from the merger of several Dutch maritime
training establishments. The new school brought many
completely different functions under the same roof:
mechanical workshops, virtual simulation labs,
restaurants, gyms, offices, and classrooms. The result
was a highly intricate program.
The College is also of international standing, so it was
essential to develop a strong, recognizable image.
Another key aspect was the need to maintain a visual
reference with the port, its warehouses, silos and
containers.
This led us to propose a tower shape in keeping with a
port environment. The form brings together all the
requirements of the brief and at the same time gave us a
highly distinctive building whose cantilevered
auditorium offers splendid views over the sea.

Would the facade of San Giorgio Maggiore look different
if Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio had been able
to envision hundreds of permutations of the intersecting
temples and classical porches? How would the altar look
if he had been able to generate, with relative speed,
thousands of alternative schematics for his columns and
domes?
