About this audio guide
This guide to the Kijk-Kubus in Rotterdam follows the architect Piet Blom, a former student of Aldo van Eyck, in the late nineteen seventies, when the city handed him a footbridge he never asked for. It touches his earlier experiment in Helmond and the idea he called living as an urban roof. Listen standing inside the cube, where every wall leans and every piece of furniture had to be built to fit.
