ARCHITECTURE
CALYPSO Rotterdam is continually evolving. The city is famed for its great diversity of 20th-century architecture as well as its newer ultramodern structures. In each issue, we shine a spotlight on one of Rotterdam Central District’s iconic buildings. This time, we take a look at Calypso Rotterdam. With its bright red façade, Calypso – named after the cinema that used to be located in the same spot – is one of RCD’s biggest eye-catchers. The complex overlooks the cultural heart of the Central District, near music, festival, film and theatre venues including De Doelen, Pathé and Theater Rotterdam.
