The Stairs to Kriterion are a nod to 75 years of rebuilding Rotterdam. The temporary exhibition offers an impressive landmark for the cultural event “Rotterdam celebrates the city!” At 29 metres tall and 57 metres long, the scaffolding is a response to the angles of the Rotterdam Central Station, connecting the contemporary icon with a historic monument, whilst referencing the reconstruction that the city has experienced through its construction.
