Maarten Struijs worked as an architect at Public Works Rotterdam for more than twenty-five years. In this period he realized an impressive number of infrastructural projects. In Understanding Rotterdam Maarten Struijs looks back from the desert to analyze - in images and text - places and projects that have shaped him as an architect. Based on this analysis he puts into words his architectural motives for the designing of infrastructure and illustrates them with his latest projects: RandstadRail and Rotterdam Centraal.
