Abstract
This graduation project deals with the Katoenveem, a former cotton warehouse in the Keilehaven in Rotterdam. When harbour activities left the city harbours in Rotterdam, the Katoenveem became vacant. This project focusses on redesigning the Katoenveem, while keeping its authentic characteristics. A research phase precedes the design phase, in which the Katoenveem was transformed into a textile innovation centre.
