X-Ray-Scan for Dutch Customs in Rotterdam, Netherlands

August 01, 2010 Category: Cultural, Public Buildings

The new X-Ray-Scan for Dutch Customs located in the port of Rotterdam Netherlands, designed by GROUP Ahas recently been opened. The relocatable building houses a scanner for containers being shipped into the Netherlands. The advanced X-Ray technology, that makes it possible to see the difference between organic and non-organic material, is housed in a building that shows this dynamic process on the outside.

GROUP A designed a simple yet visually challenging building. The deep grooves of the aluzinc cladding accentuate the dynamic shape of the scanner. Their play of light and shadow adds another layer to the visual experience of the building.
