Jan Schaeferbrug.

AddressPiet Heinkade 179-1811019 HC AmsterdamNetherlands

. A 285 meter long fixed bridge over the IJ canal links theOostelijke Handelskade (main access road) and the Veemkade(slow traffic) on the southern side, to the new housing area onJava-island. This bridge is designed for cars, bicycles andpedestrians. The separated roads for these different traffic-typesdiffer in inclination. The bridge itself has asymmetric curvesunderneath and its "legs" are set wide apart into the IJ. Parts ofthe road-deck are detachable to allow incidental passing of largeboats. Because of logic traffic-reasons the bridge should bebuilt at the same spot where the existing warehouse The Zwijger(1934) already stood. The client decided to pierce the bridgethrough the building, in favour of demolishing the old warehouse.

Quote: ''Thedoctor had ordered me not to be preoccupied with it anymore. Ithas given me so much private misery. Orange does something toyou. It does not really hurt the eyes, it injures the mind." Partof the interior is designed bij Richard Hutten.

Warehouse De Zwijger.

AddressPiet Heinkade 1811019 HC AmsterdamNetherlandshttp://www.dezwijger.nl

. This warehouse was originally built in 1934 and is an exponent ofthe ‘functional expressionism’. Two special elements of theconcrete construction are the mushroom-columns and the largefloors hanging over the ground floor. It was used as a coolinghouse for food. From 1960 onwards it deteriorated and wassquatted and used as an underground practice space for severalbands like Herman Brood and Loïs Lane. Many plans for re-useand re-development failed to start. In 2001 a bridge was builtright through the building. Shortly afterward it became aNational Monument and now the warehouse is a place for mediaand culture. It has a TV-studio, exposition-space, ateliers,conference rooms, offices, several stages for theatre, music,concerts and lectures. On the ground floor is a public bar andrestaurant.

The Funen Park.

AddressFunenpark 11018 AK AmsterdamNetherlandshttp://www.funen.nl/

. This is an innovative urban development concept that combinesliving and working in high city-centre densities with sufficientgreen space on ‘Het Funen’, a former industrial zone on the edgeof Amsterdam’s city centre. It is a concept that incorporates thequalities of diverse typologies: the construction of perimeterblocks along two sides, with a novel interpretation of the ‘gardencity’ model to their rear. The perimeter blocks shelter the innergrounds and simultaneously serve as a noise baffler for therailway behind them. The inner space is composed of a parklandscape with a great diversity of smaller building types, eachwith a distinctive identity and programme. These ‘HiddenDelights’ were designed by various architects. The contributingarchitects are: de Architekten Cie, De architectengroep, NLArchitects, Geurts en Schulze, Claus en Kaan architecten, DKVArchitekten, Architektenburo L. Lafour & R. Wijk, Van Sambeeken Van Veen architecten.

Borneo Sporenburg.

AddressC. van Eesterenlaan 411019 JK AmsterdamNetherlandshttp://www.amsterdamdocklands.com

. In the last decade of the 20th century the Eastern Docklands, aformer harbour district became available for housing. Nationaland international architects were mobilized to create awaterfront that is almost without equal. West 8 designed theallocation of 2500 dwellings on the Borneo and Sporenburgislands in 2 different types: low-rise-high-density dwellings andpatio-houses, interrupted by 3 large landmarks, The Whale,IJTower and Fountainhead. The municipality sold 60 parcels toindividuals through a lottery. Professionals and national planningauthorities followed this initiative with great interest. Thisexperiment which started in 1995 resulted in a contemporarycanal house typology. The patio-houses followed a master plandemand: 30%-50% void in each house. Architects were challengedto develop a typology in which a small patio served for light andprivate outdoor space. This regulation created new buildingtypologies that suited the high density and back-to-backstructuring.

Borneo Sling.

AddressP. Dijkstraplein 21019 WE AmsterdamNetherlands

. At the end of a row-housing with patios and an internal corridorwith garages, this 3 storey apartment block is made by using theending of the concrete tunnel structure. The concrete tunnelconstruction is a very common way to built series of row-housingin the Netherlands. This project is an atypical solution to theinevitably end of such a row. The block of dwellings has been cutof at the end of the line, and here 3 spacious apartments withterraces have been built. The apartments have their façade overthe full width of the block, giving them a panoramic view overthe IJ. The space in-between the balconies is filled with severalglazed rooms, executed in different colors, symbolizing thefunctions and giving the spectator a view of what could be inside.

.

Studenthousing Oslofjordweg.

AddressMs. Oslofjordweg 5571033 SL AmsterdamNetherlands

. On the former NDSM-wharf, an industrial area, now transformedinto a new-media park with upcoming events and creativecompanies, these 380 living-cabins have temporarily been placedfor students. The containers will stay here (at least) until 2010.Each box has its own services like a kitchen, bathroom, toilet,tv-connection and internet, measuring 24 m2. One box costsabout 350 euro to rent, all inclusive. The students have a largercommunal space for parties, gatherings, or, just to get together.Another shared facility is the wash-space, to do the laundry, anda container for garbage. The ferry-boat takes the students to theCentral Train station. According to the Duwo, "there really is noneed to take the boat to the centre," the next-door IJ-halls offerseveral different activities, parties and large festivals. Theformer ship-yard hall has a large skate-ramp with bars,restaurants, and even MTV has found its new headquarters in oneof the halls next door.

. How to get thereThe Geuzenveld neighbourhood is west of the city centre ofAmsterdam. Tram line 13 takes you from the Central TrainStation to the neighbourhood Geuzenveld. Stop at Dhr. H.Colijnstraat. You can also take bus number 21 and 192 from thecentre. Stop at Dhr. H. Colijnstraat.

.

Parkrand.

AddressDr. Colijnstraat 2601067 CP AmsterdamNetherlandshttp://www.parkrand.nl/

. The neighbourhood Geuzenveld is located in the western gardencities of Amsterdam. There is plenty of public space available butmost of these green spaces lack grandeur. The project is regardedto be a 'key-operation within the urban renewal ofGeuzeveld-Slotermeer. The building should provide aniconographic quality to the neighbourhood which it was lackingbefore.’ The housing block is situated at the edge of a park andconsists out of 5 towers, positioned on a deck, carrying a twolevel roof plate. The positioning of the towers provides a clearview from all apartments to the park. Because of the holes, orempty spaces in-between, the dwellings behind the big block alsostill have a view on the park. The title of the project - Parkrand - means park-edge.

Westergasfabriek Culturepark.

AddressPazzanistraat 411014 DB AmsterdamNetherlandshttp://www.westergasfabriek.nl

. In the 1960s, the Netherlands discovered vast reserves of naturalgas and began to close its coal-gas plants. Westergasfabriek, a19th-century factory on the outskirts of central Amsterdam,halted operations and in 1981 the site was rezoned as recreationspace. The Westergasfabriek Cultuurpark is a radical regeneration of a former gasworks - 13 hectares of cutting edgepublic parkland. The scheme now offers aquatic gardens informer gasholders, market squares, an events field capable ofaccommodating 10,000 people, woodland areas, a stream andwater gardens. The park also includes cafes, restaurants, an artgallery, a playground, cinema, dance studio, art house, foodlaboratory and a children’s museum. Gustafson Porter hasdeveloped a refined plan that is faithful to the original proposalin its creation of park zones that relate specifically to existingsite elements and contexts.

IJburg Block 14.

AddressBert Haanstrakade 1461087 DK AmsterdamNetherlandshttp://www.blok14-ijburg.nl/

. Block 14 lies at a unique location within the Haveneiland grid,consisting of streets and closed blocks. Due to the slight changeof angle of the site, the block has a trapezium shape. Taking intoaccount the scant depth and the exceptionally positive conditionsalong the edges, it was logical to situate as many houses aspossible along the banks and to allocate maximum openness tothe inner area. As a consequence, the houses profit fully fromtheir situation on the IJ Water and also have a direct relationshipwith the more sheltered, semi-public inner area. The court isconnected to the quay via a spacious platform stairway. Thedifference in height at the site offers the possibility of generatingextraordinary transitions between public and private areas. Inaddition to single-family dwellings with access to gardens, anunusual type of house has been introduced: the 'Zwebo', which isan abbreviation of the Dutch for 'floating single-family upstairsapartment'.
