The city of Groningen has a reputation to maintain where architectonic innovation is concerned, and it is prepared to recruit world-famous designers or make a considerable budget available for an architectural festival. Groningen has received several awards and the city has countless interesting buildings and marks from top architects such as Starck, Koolhaas, and Hejduk.
