In the oldest part of https://www.architectureguide.nl/project/item/prj_id/291" class="inline_link">Pendrecht in the northwest there are sloping roofs to be seen, for all the district's modernist image. Tiny neighbourhood shopping centres for day-to-day supplies scattered throughout Pendrecht are to complement the main retail centre at Plein 1953. The sensitively crafted shopping street is a kind of miniature https://www.architectureguide.nl/project/item/prj_id/170" class="inline_link">Lijnbaan. Designed as a pedestrian precinct, it terminates at a row of so-called island displays under a shared awning, where 'The Construction Workers', two artworks by Han Richters and Koos van Vlijmen, stand guard.
