Item description from seller

Rotterdam, Lecturis, [2013]. [120] pp. Col. & b./w. ills. Orig. hardcover (white lettered grey h.cloth). While the world officially entered recession in 2009, the first pile was driven on Rotterdam's Wilhelminapier for what would be the largest building in the Netherlands: De Rotterdam. Following its design by OMA, Rem Koolhaas' architectural firm, a vertical city of three towers 150 meters (492 feet) tall will rise on the bank of the river Maas. With 160,000 sq. m. of floor space, this will be the largest building to be constructed in the Netherlands in a single project. Land is scarce in the Netherlands, so this project is being shoehorned onto a lot about the size of a football field along the river. This now vacant land was where the Holland America Line's pier stood, from which a stream of European emigrants left for Ellis Island between 1873 and 1978. Photographer Ruud Sies followed the construction workers and construction of De Rotterdam right from the first shovel of dirt at the 2009 ground breaking right through to delivery in November 2013.…
