The number of cruise ships coming to Rotterdam and docking at the Cruise Terminal is increasing each year. To cope with this growth and associated baggage handling, TomDavid Architects have designed an industrial structure that brings together business and pleasure: a Pop Up Luggage Space (P.U.L.S.) with an elevated terrace providing stunning views over the river and of Rotterdam’s skyline.
In the start of 2014 the municipality of Amsterdam has granted Studio Prototype,resulting from a market consultation, the assignment for realizing a tribune staircase in the Zouthaven in Amsterdam. For the small-scale assignment, a special way of tendering was chosen: design & build. Thus Studio Prototype is not only responsible for the design-, but is also the main executor of the build process.

The Port of Seville needed a new Cruise Ship Terminal with a flexible character, multipurpose, extendable, easily removable and even movable. This would permit to accomodate the unpredictable number of passengers in the port and it would not limit the possibilities of the urban-port valuable space of the Muelle de las Delicias. Re-using shipping containers was proposed. On the other hand, the place, near the historic centre, was claiming an object of architectural quality to dialogue with its urban environment.

Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore (MBCCS) at Marine South, it is designed for operational efficiency to ensure a smooth and seamless visitor experience. The terminal has the facilities to accommodate the world’s largest cruise ships including Oasis-class vessel currently in service. The terminal building at 28300 m2, will have the ability to handle 6,800 cruise passengers at any one time, effectively doubling Singapore’s current berth capacity. The facilities included spacious arrival and departure halls and a large ground transportation area to efficiently and expeditiously process a large volume of passenger traffic expected.
The development of cruise terminal is located in the Port of Cartagena; a place with exceptional conditions because of the sea views and because it is very close to the city.
This platform of 11.024 m2 has a dual condition that allows you to see Cartagena from inside and outside.
….therefore the sandou 4th rd. and the lingnan rd. will be extended on the site. the road extensions will be connected by the new “seashore drive” which is parallel to the existing seashore rd. – but as close to the sea as possible (20m harbour facility zone).
The new terminal for Stockholm’s permanent ferry connections to Finland and the Baltics will be a landmark for the new urban development Norra Djursgårdsstaden – both architecturally and environmentally. The terminal, which will have a facade covered with expanded mesh, recalls the shape of a moving vessel and the architecture – with large cranes and warehouses – that previously characterized the ports. At the same time, the terminal has an ambitious sustainable profile, characteristic of the entire development.
The epitome of a Hypostyle Hall in my project is a field of massive and fragile columns that define a variation of spatial and volumetric interiors of the terminal. Denser areas of the field create intimate spaces and become areas to rest whereas less dens areas are circulation routes and contain architectural programs.
