War Zone ...

On May 14th 1940 the city of Rotterdam was bombed . The bombs and especially the fire that followed reduced its centre to smoldering ashes . Already during the war it was decided that the destroyed buildings wouldn't be rebuild , but that Rotterdam would be turned into a new , modern city .

For Rotterdam 2007 - City of Architecture , the border indicating the destroyed area will be marked with huge spotlights . Each light has a capacity of 7000 watts . The result is spectacular !
