A fair bit of my study time at university was spent looking at West 8 projects in landscape journals and books and listening to lecturers suggest visiting their projects, so to visit their offices was an inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The West 8 team kindly showed us a pin board wall of projects they\u2019re working on and also suggested urban design and landscape projects we could visit whilst in the city (some of which were their own of course!). But upon leaving West 8\u2019s office, a bar happened to be stumbled upon (actually, their office is handily above a few bars) and as it was roughly beer o\u2019clock at this point, it would have been rude not to! The urban and landscape sightseeing would of course have to follow on the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"743\" height=\"557\" data-id=\"3010\" src=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/outside-west-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3010\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/outside-west-8.jpg 743w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/outside-west-8-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/outside-west-8-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" \/><figcaption>Outside West 8\u2019s office (and the first bar) in Katendrecht<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"745\" height=\"558\" data-id=\"3011\" src=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/evening-meal.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3011\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/evening-meal.jpg 745w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/evening-meal-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/evening-meal-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px\" \/><figcaption>Evening meal at Foodhallen, Wilhelminaplein, Rotterdam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After a sobering breakfast at the hotel the next morning, it was off to visit some of the sights of Rotterdam. The Port city has numerous sights to visit, for us these were (of course) mostly of the landscape and architectural variety. Having partly divided up slightly into smaller groups at this point, the sights visited will have varied amongst the terra firma team, but for me first was the new mirror clad extension to the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen known as \u2018Depot Bojimans Van Beuningin\u2019. With the surrounding landscape design still under construction, there was limited sightseeing here, save from looking in wonder at the curved mirrored fa\u00e7ade to the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On from here southwards was the Museumpark, a linear stretch of green sandwiched between the Museum BVB, Kunsthal Rotterdam Museum and the Natural History Museum Rotterdam. The park had a very naturalistic feel with its largely tree\u2019d canopied surroundings waterways beneath the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"749\" height=\"561\" data-id=\"3012\" src=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/museum-depot.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/museum-depot.jpg 749w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/museum-depot-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/museum-depot-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><figcaption><em>Museum Depot Bojimans Van Beuningin, Rotterdam<\/em><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"749\" height=\"562\" data-id=\"3013\" src=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/museum-park.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/museum-park.jpg 749w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/museum-park-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/museum-park-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><figcaption><em>Museumpark, Rotterdam<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Popping out southwards from the Museums and across the Westzeedijk road it was into Het Park, a much larger park with more open green space and winding footpaths. After a much-needed coffee stop it was a wander through Rotterdam Centrum districts network of urban spaces, one on the list suggested by West 8 being one of their own projects, a re-vamped streetscape with restaurants and caf\u00e9s close to Beurs Metro Station. Heading northwards we arrived at Park Pompenburg with its bright yellow timber clad bridge connecting and activating a group of individual green, and urban spaces interspersed across a busy road network. Sadly, much of the bridge and park was closed off and inaccessible during our visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"752\" height=\"563\" data-id=\"3015\" src=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/pompenburg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/pompenburg.jpg 752w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/pompenburg-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/pompenburg-400x299.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\" \/><figcaption><em>Park Pompenburg bridge, Rotterdam<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"423\" height=\"565\" data-id=\"3014\" src=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/canal.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3014\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/canal.jpg 423w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/canal-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/canal-400x534.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 423px) 100vw, 423px\" \/><figcaption><em>The tree lined canal of the Westersingel route, central Rotterdam<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By this point our trip to Rotterdam was coming to a close and with a Saturday afternoon Eurostar train to catch, it was a short walk back to Rotterdam Centraal train station. Rotterdam\u2019s flat, city streetscape with its open feel to the wide, cycle lane-lined streets was in stark contrast to the cramped conditions of the city station\u2019s Eurostar waiting room we endured shortly after!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, the port city had provided a good mixture of urban and green spaces, and not to forget it\u2019s occasional \u2018hints\u2019 of Amsterdam-esque architectural street and canal scenes, but our whirlwind overnight visit to Rotterdam had come to a close. Not long now to terra firma\u2019s 40<sup>th<\/sup> birthday celebrations! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Where to next for the big
