Abstract

Rotterdam South the largest problematic neighbourhood in the Netherlands and deals with large social and spatial problems. With the development of a Stationshus a large intervention is made, that connects the area to the national Intercity railway network and that at the same time forms a new centre for Rotterdam South, that connects the physically separated neighbourhoods together. The project contributes to sustainable solutions for the problems in the area and is integrated with respect to the current built environment. Thereby creating a new routes, including a Third City Bridge and the connection between Beijerlandselaan and Laan op Zuid, that help to integrate Rotterdam South further into the city. Centrally a Swedish influenced kulturhus is housed under one roof with the railway station to form the Stationshus, that further contains a library, sports facilities, lecture rooms, kindergarten and commercial activities.
