Steven Holl: Cité de l’Océan et du Surf

Inaugurated on June 25 2011, Cité de l’Océan et du Surf was built around the symbols of the sea and sports that make Biarritz the top tourist destination in Basque France. Competition winner Steven Holl uses the shape of the coastline as his starting point for creation of an underground museum, the roof of which becomes a plaza from which to admire the ocean.

Neutelings Riedijk: Aan De Stroom Museum

As part of the project for renewal of the ancient Eilandje district, where many well-known architectural studios have been working recently, such as David Chipperfield’s studio, the architects of Neutelings Riedijk have built the city’s new museum of history overlooking the Schelda River, where the vocabulary of the materials dematerialises the tower volume and makes it stand out against the constructions of the harbour as a new landmark for the city.
