This fascinating, carelessly positioned, somewhat forgotten ship anchor actually seems to have a deep significance for the sight. It almost says everything that needs to be said about the people, objects and buildings; their history, transformation and future potential/direction.
 
  
It's existence is testimony to the fact that this was historically a hub of intense economic activity, employment and growth. The fact that it now lays rusting, shows that ship-building/docking is abandoned/steadily-coming-to-an-end here and the nature of the 'economic' activity must change, both to 'merely sustain' the area; and obviously offer chances for growth.
 
  
The RDM campus fills in with a most befitting business plan - Research/Design/Manufacture through industry-education partnerships. But in mere magnitude, it needs to expand; have more institutions and companies get involved, add start-ups, offer more space for them to take off once they're on their own.The anchor, metaphorically still retains its relevance, for such an enterprise will always need extensive transport.
 
  
A space thus, that serves such a workshop-office program, with its ancillary services of (possibly) housing, recreation and so on. The city of Rotterdam is well endowed already with a lot of recreational and cultural activities, but could do with some more 'commercial' ones ?

The underwater graveyard and temple of the Babel Tower form an apt 'stationary-entrance' for the 'school', as an 'acclimatizating-transition' space for those who traverse it. Its landscaped surface however, leads seamlessly to the landscape of the individual modules forming a 'camouflage' of sorts, to let only the very 'serious' of 'visitors' decipher its existence. The individual sub-disciplines act as 'free-bodies' collaborating and separating variably with each other and over time, depending on their current needs.
