荷蘭鹿特丹 Portlantis 訪客中心
在鹿特丹港最西端的人工填海區 Maasvlakte 2，MVRDV 為這座世界最大港口之一設計了一幢全新地標——Portlantis，一座結合教育展示與公共觀景的訪客中心，帶領人們以嶄新視角理解這片龐大而複雜的港口版圖。
At Maasvlakte 2, an artificial extension at the western edge of the Port of Rotterdam, MVRDV has designed a striking new landmark—Portlantis. This visitor center, which combines educational exhibitions with public viewing spaces, invites the public to explore and understand the vast and complex landscape of one of the world's largest ports from a fresh perspective.
建築由五層錯位旋轉的展覽空間堆疊而成，極具動態感，紅色戶外階梯如蜿蜒動線，自沙丘一路攀升至屋頂。這條免費開放的觀景路徑，使建築本身不僅是展示空間，也是一座與城市互動的「瞭望塔」。建築每一層皆為方形平面，並配置一面開闊的景觀窗，視角方向皆與樓層功能緊密關聯：咖啡廳朝向沙丘，讓人沉浸於地景；餐廳則以高處眺望北海落日與港口夜色。
The architecture is composed of five offset, rotating exhibition floors stacked vertically, creating a highly dynamic form. A striking red outdoor staircase winds its way up from the surrounding dunes to the rooftop, forming a free-access viewing path that transforms the building into more than just a display venue—it becomes a "watchtower" in dialogue with the city. Each floor is a square plan featuring a large panoramic window, with views carefully aligned to the function of each level: the café faces the dunes, offering an immersive landscape experience, while the restaurant overlooks the North Sea sunset and the illuminated port at night.
中庭設計同樣充滿張力。高達 22 公尺的挑高空間，懸掛著動態雕塑，底層迎接訪客的是鹿特丹港的模型。鏡面天花反射視覺，使空間倍增其高度，旋轉門入口則精心安排動線節奏，直到步入中央空間，展覽才真正展開。
The atrium design is equally striking and full of tension. Soaring to a height of 22 meters, the space features a suspended kinetic sculpture above and a detailed model of the Port of Rotterdam at its base to welcome visitors. A mirrored ceiling visually doubles the height of the space, enhancing its vertical drama. The entrance, marked by a revolving door, is carefully choreographed to guide the flow of movement—only upon reaching the central atrium does the exhibition fully unfold.
由 Kossmanndejong 策劃，展覽場域跨越三層樓，以不同主題探索港口如何轉型為低碳、智慧與永續系統。每層窗景都指向對應的港口活動，使觀展過程與真實場域建立即時對話。
Curated by Kossmanndejong, the exhibition spans the central three floors, each dedicated to a distinct theme exploring the port's transformation into a low-carbon, intelligent, and sustainable system. Every panoramic window is thoughtfully oriented toward a specific aspect of port activity, creating an immediate and immersive dialogue between the exhibition content and the real-world operations outside.
作為鹿特丹與港口之間的橋梁，Portlantis 亦充分實踐永續理念。結構可拆卸、外牆面板可回收、基礎工程避用混凝土樁，皆為減輕建築對環境的負荷。建築本體更透過風力發電與高效熱能系統，全年能源產出超過實際用量 30%，朝綠能建築邁進。
As a bridge between Rotterdam and its port, Portlantis fully embraces sustainable principles. Its structure is designed for disassembly, the façade panels are recyclable, and the foundation avoids the use of concrete piles—all measures aimed at reducing the building's environmental footprint. More importantly, the building harnesses wind power and high-efficiency thermal systems to generate over 30% more energy than it consumes annually, marking a significant step toward becoming a green energy building.
「Portlantis 是一座燈塔，引人注目，同時像是一座瞭望塔，坐擁全景。」MVRDV 創辦合夥人 Winy Maas 認為，對生活在鹿特丹的人來說，港口總是存在於彼岸，許多人並不真正了解那裡發生了什麼；Portlantis 則提供了一種方式，讓人們得以探索、觀察港口的變化，理解這些轉變如何與城市產生關聯，並影響他們在城市中的生活。」
這幢嶄新的公共建築，既理性又感性，以建築的語言回應當代轉型中的港口，也讓城市居民終於能從沙丘遠眺彼端。
"Portlantis is a beacon, it's eye-catching, but it’s also a kind of watchtower", says MVRDV founding partner Winy Maas. "When you live in Rotterdam, the port sits on the horizon – it's'over there'and many people don't really know what goes on there. Portlantis gives people a way to investigate, to see how things are changing in the port, how that relates to the city, and how it affects the life they live in the city. It does this extremely efficiently – like a machine for storytelling."
