Markthal is an indoor market, combined with luxury housings, built in a horseshoe configuration and it is really one of a kind.
Cube Houses are kind of a village inside the city.
The architect saw these houses as trees and the whole area as wood, so the houses are tipped to one side, making three sides face the sky, and the other three face the ground.
Erasmus Bridge is 800 meters long and connects the northern and the southern parts of the city.
It was designed to represent the area, while its pylon-like shape gave it another name – The Swan.
