ARCHITECTURE WITH LIFE

Seven million visitors are expected to enter the spectacular arch of Rotterdam’s new indoor food market annually. A steady stream of fresh produce meanwhile is transported from the dispatch center located on the lower ground floor.

Description

A mesmerizing array of sights and fragrances unfolds at the entrance to Markthal Rotterdam, the first indoor food market in the Netherlands. The horseshoe-shaped food empire lies in the Soho of Rotterdam, a hotspot for hip bars and boutiques. Under a futuristic dome decorated with 3D images of food, visitors can go one-stop shopping for fresh organic produce from more than 100 stalls, or grab a bite at any of the dozens of specialty eateries.
