Seri Kijkubus di Rotterdam, jahitan dari 2 foto. Ternyata menjahit foto arsitektur adalah yang tersulit yang pernah saya lakukan. Memakan waktu berhari², setelah selesai ternyata baru saya dapati artikelnya di majalah CHIP Foto Video edisi April 05.. :D Sama juga triknya dengan yang saya pakai :Drn

rnThe city of Rotterdam is not afraid to try something new and different. An example is the ‘cube houses’ located in the area called Blaak. rn
rn
rnTHE DESIGNERrn
rn
rnThe cube house, or pole house, is a design of the Dutch architect Piet Blom (1934-1999). The construction of the 38 cube houses started in 1982 and was completed in 1984. Blom thought of his design as an abstract tree and of the total complex as a wood. A cube house reminds of a tree hut that is accessible through the pole. rn
rn
rnTHE CONCEPTrn
rn
rnBlom’s idea was to create a kind of village within a city. On street level, several public activities take place in small businesses, shops, school and on a playground. The living is done in the cube houses upstairs, thus combining the public with the private. rnThe complex is in fact a pedestrian bridge arching the street below. Blom was asked by the municipal town planners to ‘furnish’ this bridge. In a sense, the cube houses are an architectonic experiment, in which Blom considered form, aesthetics and spatial effects more important than functionality and practical purpose. rn
rn
rnTHE SURROUNDINGSrn
rn
rnThe cube looks as if it is tilted and placed with one point on a pole, so that three sides are facing the ground and the other three are facing the sky. rnClose to the cube houses you will see the pencil-shaped ‘Potlood’ (Pencil), a residential building also designed by Blom.rn
rn
rnNear the cube houses is a docking area in the oldest harbor of Rotterdam, the popular Oude (Old) Haven. Historic vessels are brought here for repairs or reconstruction. The wide-open public walking and sitting area allows a close-up view of the ships. Sidewalk cafes, restaurants, and outdoor concerts make this a lively spot. A short walk along the terraces will bring you to the Witte Huis (White House), 148 feet tall, once Holland’s only ‘skyscraper’!rn

rnTerima kasih kritik dan sarannya.. :Drn
rnPS: maaf saya tidak bisa mencabut tiang lampunya, jadi terpaksa nongol di sana. Ada angle lain yang menghindari tiang lampu, tapi saya malah kehilangan detil bangunan T_T
