The Markthal (English: Market Hall) is a residential and office building with a market hall underneath, located in Rotterdam.[8] The building was opened on October 1, 2014, by Queen
Architecture
The Markthal was designed by architectural firm
Artwork
The inside of the building is adorned with an 11.000 m2 artwork by Arno Coenen and Iris Roskam,[12] named Hoorn des Overvloeds (Horn of Plenty).[13] The artwork shows strongly enlarged fruits, vegetables, seeds, fish, flowers and insects.[14]
The artwork was selected out of 9 international candidates.
Miscellany
- The 4-storey parking garage of the Markthal is the largest in the center of Rotterdam.[22]
- The Markthal was one of the first buildings in the world that could be seen by augmented reality.[23] By using the application UAR, made by the NAi, users could see 3D-models of the building, and how it was going to look.
- A possible nickname of the Markthal is Koopboog. This name is a reference to the horseshoe shape of the hall and also refers to the nearby Koopgoot.[24][25]
Archaeological site
The Markthal is built on top of a fourteenth-century buried village in the Polder of Westnieuwland. This
During the building of the Markthal, a tenth-century farm was found 7 metres under the ground. Within the house were two stoves and a few fireplaces. The farm was part of a village before Rotterdam, named Rotta, after the river Rotte. The inhabitants of Rotta were farmers, craftsmen and traders. Earlier, a small settlement from the fourteenth-century was found on the site.[27]
Several foundations on the site are now exhibited next to the central staircases underneath the Markthal.[28]
