The Dutch firm Monolab has designed a tower to rise 450 meters out of Rotterdam’s Maas Harbour.  Noting the city’s existing buildings as being “primitive and of mediocre quality,” the firm seeks to introduce “an ambitious and pragmatic” structure to the city. Monolab has shifted their tower into the water of the Maas harbour to minimise wind and shadow effects.  A network of walkways would connect the tower to the land.
