Tour
Climb to the top of Akragon
Morning walk through the former school complex
The Technikon is known as one of architect Hugh Maaskant’s most outspoken but also controversial designs. Delve into the recent developments and new functions of the Tecknikon and Akragon during a morning walk.
More than fifty years after its completion, the former school complex still has a dominant place in Rotterdam’s cityscape. Yet a lot has changed in recent years. During this morning walk you will delve into the more recent developments and new functions of the Technikon and Akragon. Also the large Water Square that was realized in 2013 will be visited: an accessible meeting space and temporary basin for water collection during extreme rainfall.
The tour ends at the top of Akragon, the former gymnastics tower that now houses the bouldering hall “Beest Boulders” with stunning views of the city.
