The Dutch city is home to a growing number of inventive structures, including MVRDV's Markthal – a curved residential complex that arches 40 metres high over a marketplace. Find out more about the project in our interview with architect Winy Maas.

Also highlighted within the book is the city's Centraal Station, which was renovated in 2014 and now features an angular metal-clad canopy at the entrance, and OMA's colossal De Rotterdam skyscraperwatch architect Rem Koolhaas explain the project in our exclusive interview.
