visiting Rotterdam
Today, Sue and I went to Rotterdam to attend a film screening activity. We got off at the central station and went there on foot. Rotterdam is actually a small city, though it has the reputation of the second largest city in Holland, especially when comparing with Beijing. It’s very convenient to travel on foot. We met lots of beautiful architectures as we wandering there. They are excellent in both design and construction. I have to admit that Dutch architects are fantastic in material utilizing and composing.
After an hour, we arrived successfully, and we are even half an hour’s or so in advanced. You should know, we have passed though about half a city of Rotterdam, at least its central part. There is a small square lying on the other side of road opposite to NAI. We know it named as Museum Park later, just behind a classic building where now used as museums. Tall trees stretching to the sky, sky is transparent blue, with a quite lake reflecting its color, ducks and birds walking on the grassland besides you… I just want to be there if I am going to die…

visiting Den Haag
Yesterday, I met a truly good architecture while visiting Dan Haag. It is a church designed by Aldo Van Eyck called Pastook. It is a fantastic work I ever met. Structure items are clearly defined and separated from surroundings. Different materials and form characters are allocated precisely to each part. It delivers a kind of natural strength that is echoing in deep heart but hard to describe. Sunlight comes from the skylight and softly shining ahead of the main hall so that to indicate its function. I love it very much and I want to stay there for a long day to learn the magnificent wisdom saturated in it.
