Masterplan Rijnhaven

For Barcode Architects’ Rijnhaven masterplan, Hans Wilschut created template photographs that capture the location, scale and atmosphere of the area. Around the historic quays, industrial monuments and expansive views of the city, a new urban district is taking shape, bringing together high-rise architecture, public space and landscape.

The images show Rijnhaven as a place in transition, on the edge between harbour, city and park. They form a visual basis for a future district in which a wide esplanade, new urban functions, a large city park, a town beach and a tidal park give the former harbour basin a new public meaning.
