NEDERLANDS
Met de herbouw van Rotterdam na de Tweede Wereldoorlog ontstond een moderne metropolis met een grote aantrekkingskracht door architectuur van wereldklasse en stedebouw. Rotterdam is na Amsterdam de grootste stad van Nederland.
De iconische Erasmus brug is een voorbeeld van deze interessante Nederlandse stad. Een andere voorbeeld is Het ‘Rotterdam-gebouw’ op de achtergrond, ontworpen door de beroemde architect Rem Koolhaas.

De Erasmus-brug is een stalen tuibrug waarvan de bouw begon in 1986 en voltooid werd in 1996. De brug is ongeveer 800 meter lang en 139 meter hoog en overspant de rivier de Maas om Rotterdam Zuid en Noord met elkaar te verbinden. De brug is ontworpen door Ben van Berkel en vernoemd naar Desiderius Erasmus, een belangrijke humanist, die ook bekend stond als Erasmus van Rotterdam. Door de licht geknikte, licht-blauwe piloon en de bijzondere horizontale basis, kreeg de brug in Rotterdam de bijnaam ‘De Zwaan’
