Description:

UNStudio / Erasmus Bridge delves into the story behind the iconic Rotterdam bridge that brought Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos into the global architectural spotlight. Known locally as "The Swan" for its elegant stance over the River Maas, the Erasmus Bridge is a testament to integrated design and innovative engineering.

The book features extensive photographic documentation by Hans-Juergen Commerell, capturing both the construction process and the completed project. It also includes a comprehensive collection of sketches, models, renderings, and working drawings, offering a detailed journey through the project’s evolution—from concept to completion.

Accompanied by commentary from architects and critics, the publication explores the technical ingenuity and cultural significance of this landmark structure, providing a deeper understanding of its impact on both architecture and the city of Rotterdam.
