And I was the project manager of this excursion as well . In 2007, Rotterdam celebrated its role as a "City of Architecture" Many of Rotterdam's best sights are on or near the water. According to The New York Times , Rotterdam is in the Top 10 of 'Places to go in 2014', due mainly to its 'first-class architecture'. De Rotterdam is the new eye catcher on Rotterdam's skyline and was designed by award winning architect OMA/Rem Koolhaas.

The most famous examples of Rotterdam architecture are the "Cube Houses," which look as novel today as they did when they were built in the 1980s.

The Blaaktoren (nicknamed the "Pencil Tower)

It was designed by Piet Blom, the architect who designed the Cube Houses.
