Markthal
The Rotterdam Markthal was designed by MVRDV architects and combines food (almost 100 food stalls) and living (more than 200 apartments) in an original, 40m tall, arch shaped, complex.

The interior mural “Cornucopia” by Arno Coenen and Iris Roskam had to be rendered by Pixar software in order to achieve the desired resolution and its colourfulness creates a wonderful contrast to the natural grey stone of the exterior facade, in particular during the evening hours !
