Rivièrahal, Entertainment center in Diergaarde Blijdorp, Rotterdam, Netherlands
The Rivièrahal extends from south to north with a central hall and two side aisles, each ending in circular pavilions at their southern ends.
Architect Sybold van Ravesteyn designed this structure in 1939, combining neobaroque and functionalist architectural styles for the Rotterdam zoo's main building.
The building features sculptures by Charles Eyck at the entrance area, depicting figures with deer, and decorative tiles along the roof edges.
The central space maintains an open layout with minimal separating walls, allowing the facility to accommodate various events and exhibitions throughout the year.
The building employs shock-resistant concrete with steel framing and molded concrete cladding, topped by a distinctively curved roof without a ridge.
