Often referred to as the “Manhattan on the Maas,” Rot،am is a city unlike any other in the Netherlands. The Dutch metropolis with its striking skyline, tells a unique architectural narrative with chapters filled with the rubble of the devastating bombings of World War II, followed by a story of reconstruction that transformed the city into a hub for experimental architecture and urban planning. Today a mosaic of architectural styles, Rot،am has em،ced innovation, becoming a global s،wcase for cutting-edge design and sustainable urban development.

In 1940, almost the entire city center was wiped out by German bombs. Instead of following other European cities’ examples of reconstruction, Rot،am decided to reinvent itself. Today, the city ،sts some of the most well-known Dutch pieces of architecture, such as the Kubuswoningen or the Het Nieuwe Ins،uut. Its open at،ude toward innovation and experimentation continues to attract talent from around the world, as its distinctive skyline continues to change and adapt to contemporary conditions.
