Another design issue is the materials that the site is going to be made up of, which is again inspired from the surrounding city (sorry I didn't mention this earlier; it was in my mind but been to focused on the form). From experiencing the city, there is a huge range of materials used in its design which helps to create different textures, colours, contrasts and identities. Within some of the modern designs, materials have been inspired and continued from the city's history. This can be seen in West 8's design, Schouwburgplein. A public space within the heart of the city, inspired by the forms and materials of Rotterdam's past.
These are some of the materials which could be used in the design; they include different types of metals, woods, glass, stone, plastics.
