Antwerp Port Authority – Study I The Antwerp Port House extends a derelict fire station into a new headquarters for the port, providing new accommodation for about 500 staff. There was only one rule for the architectural competition, namely that the original building had to be preserved. Zaha Hadid Architects combined the new with the old and won the competition. For me the design of this building is brilliant and I photographed a small series of this building. When I was there the surface reflected the changing tones and colours of the city’s sky and surrounding.
