Trying to find the fate of a minor midcentury landmark in Rotterdam
Hello! Sorry about this post being in English, I am an architectural researcher in the United States doing a large-scale project on the works of midcentury architect Marcel Breuer.
The De Bijenkorf store (1955-57) is well-documented, but there was a side-story to the project I am trying to follow-up on.
Since the department store was an enormous post-war project, they needed a local field office for local associate architect Abraham Elzas and the construction staff. In the present, this involves renting some construction trailer(s) to put on site.
For this project, Breuer designed an fun trio of brightly colored hexagonal volumes elevated on 3 steel posts and accessibly from a staircase.
Photos of the Construction Field Office on the worksite, I wish they in color!
It was apparently so popular (or, at the very least, a ready-to-install building) that it dismantled and rebuilt elsewhere as a children's museum.
Most references to it were in passing. One mentioned it may have been reassembled in Amsterdam. Does anyone know where this building ended up and if it still stands?
I did some Google aerial viewing in Rotterdam and Amsterdam but could not readily identify it.
My research purpose is creating a map of all built work by Breuer, both extant and lost, as an aid to other researchers and preservationists. Even if it were demolished, I'd like to document where it was.
Thank you!
