Antwerp Central Station
by Alec Lux

Antwerp Central is the name of the main railway station in the Belgian city of Antwerp. The station is now widely regarded as the finest example of railway architecture in Belgium. Although the extraordinary eclecticism of the influences on Delacenserie's design had led to a difficulty in assigning it to a particular architectural style.

Port Architecture, Antwerp, Belgium
Antwerp Porthouse
by Adelheid Smitt

This stunning building housing the Antwerp Port Authority, is a remarkable work of architecture designed by British/Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. The lower part was a disused fire station. The building is meant to "symbolise the dynamic, reliable, ambitious and innovative nature" of the Port of Antwerp (Wikipedia). Earlier I posted a photo of a work by the same architect, in Baku: www.flickr.com/photos/adelheids-pictures/34039577010

Antwerp, close to the harbour and the brand new porthouse, they are building many new appartment blocks. This one is recently finished. I love its minimalism and bright aspect.

This porthouse, located in Antwerp, designed by Zaha Hadid, has been on my wishlist for a long time. We made some long exposure shots and waited in the icy cold wind till the blue hour. The lights turned on 1 by 1 and started illuminating the building. I love this building for its architectural contrast. The older part below is the old renovated porthouse. They added above this twisted and weird modern architecture.
