Rotterdam Central Library by Bakema and Weeber at GreatBuildings

"The commission was given to Van den Broek en Bakema after a closed contest between Jaap Bakema and Carel Weeber, which was won by Bakema. In 1977 the contest and its result gave way to a fierce architectural discussion."
— correspondence from Izak Salomons, 2002.1108.
