This architectural photograph shows De Rotterdam, one of the Netherlands' most iconic and modern buildings, tightly shot from a low vantage point. The composition emphasises the clean lines and vertical strength of architect Rem Koolhaas' design. Photographed against a bright blue sky, the glass facades, right angles and stacking of volumes stand out perfectly. The reflections on the windows enhance the graphic nature of the building, adding depth and texture. This shot is a true enthusiast's photograph for fans of modern architecture, urban symmetry and minimalist composition. The building is located at Kop van Zuid, right on the river Maas in Rotterdam, and is known as a 'vertical city'. For me, this is the ultimate architectural picture, in which rhythm, light and form merge into a powerful image that perfectly sums up Rotterdam's metropolitan atmosphere.
