Hardback, 285 x 285 x 20 mm, NEW, 186p, throughout colour illustrations, English edition. ISBN 9789053254158. Few ports in the world can boast such a rich history as the Port of Antwerp. Back in the 16th century, the port was a hub of international trade. Five centuries and many chapters later, Antwerp still holds that position. The port is the heartbeat of the region, the lifeblood connecting Antwerp to the rest of the world. Inspired by this unique context, rich history, and exceptional location, Zaha Hadid Architects has created a new Port House for Antwerp. This new building has taken up a suitable place in the age-old dialogue between city and river. Coupled with a sustainable and future-oriented workplace for the staff, the building personifies the global character of the Port of Antwerp and forms a conducive setting for the many international contacts of the port community. The Port House combines the old and the new to yield an awesome composition which plays with light. Zaha Hadid's design shows how 'former' buildings can play a starring role even in modern architecture. The result is an undoubted masterpiece, a landmark on the Antwerp skyline, and an eternal light on the River Scheldt. 1650 g. Seller Inventory # 49546
