Maybe this isn't even worth a mention, but do to my momentary architecture project which is dealing with the hybridity between buildings and ships I decided this is entertaining enough. My father spotted this surprising landmark on the way to the historic windmills in Kinderdijk. Venturi would have loved this one. But do to its large scale the facade manages to be more than just a simple decoration. Seen from across the river its base is hidden behind the shorebanks. This irritates, but the riddle is solved at second glance. Advanced postmodernism, maybe? Satelite pictures reveal the two and a half dimensional character of the decoration depicting the building as a banal crossing between an offshore cruizeship and a factory building with rooftop parking.
