World Port Centre is a 33-storey, 123.1 m (404 ft) skyscraper in Rotterdam, Netherlands.[5][6]

Infrastructure

Designer

Sir Norman Foster designed the 32-storey building. This British architect gained international fame with his designs for the London Stansted Airport, the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank in Hong Kong, the extension of the Reichstag building in Berlin and the 259 m (850 ft) Commerzbank Tower in Frankfurt. In 1992 he designed the master plan of the entire Wilhelminapier, where the World Port Centre is standing.

Builder

The tower was commissioned by ING Real Estate Development.[7] The building costs amounted to approximately NLG100 million. The Port of Rotterdam Authority is the main occupant of the WPC, using floors 2 to 19. Floors 25 to 28 are rented to Eneco Energie, floors 29 to 32 are built as conference areas and are commercially leased to Regus.[8] The grounds also cover the Argentine steak-restaurant Gaucho's.

Features

As the building stands at the far point of the Wilhelmina pier it is built on, there is a view of the surrounding harbours and city from the higher floors. The building is also an emergency centre, designed to deal with potential catastrophes in the port area and act as a coordination centre.[9]

Diversité dans le mouvement open source

La diversité dans le mouvement open source représente l’hétérogénéité des profils des personnes qui font partie du mouvement open source.

Il en va de même pour la diversité ethnique du mouvement. À l'inverse, les personnes appartenant à une minorité sexuelle y semblent proportionnellement...
