The 800-meter-long Erasmus Bridge links the northern and southern parts of Rotterdam. Spanning the River Maas, this elegant suspension bridge is defined by its 139-meter-high steel pylon, supported by 40 cables. The distinctive, sweeping form of the pylon has earned the bridge its affectionate nickname, The Swan. Today, the Erasmus Bridge stands as the unmistakable architectural icon of Rotterdam. The Dutch UNStudio co-founder and designer of the Erasmus Bridge decided to be an architect 'on the spot' when he first saw the Katsura Imperial Villa in Japan, aged 2. He was only 34 when we won a major project in Rotterdam for the Erasmus Bridge (1996).
