Amsterdam Architecture: Projects, Journals & Ideas

7 Projects 12 Journals 1 Competitions

About Discussions Projects7 Journals12 Competitions1

Amsterdam has a long tradition of building for dense, water-bordered urban life, from canal houses to large post-war housing estates and recent redevelopment of former industrial land. Architects working in the city balance heritage constraints, limited space, soil conditions and an ambitious public agenda on climate and mobility.

Work shared on uni.xyz under this topic includes residential proposals, office buildings in Westpoort and Apollolaan, community hub concepts, and urban plots in Buiksloterham. Members examine how these projects combine traditional Dutch building practice with contemporary technology and sustainability goals.

A HOUSE FOR LIFE

This proposal is a house of sustainable living that aims to support a family for life with the feeling of a community within the family. In a city like Amsterdam, the lifestyle changes rapidly so we have to consider sustainability in the largest sense of the word, about maintaining something over a long period of time and minimizing waste and resources.

ICH: International Community Hub in Amsterdam

ICH conforms to The Czaar Peterbuurt area, and its environment, and to the needs of the people of Amsterdam’s city center and eastern dockyard too. its form does not imply the conventional understanding of form follows function, but comes with a more enhanced understanding of form follows community and environment.

LACUNA

We designed a complex that is against to the density of the city, which has gaps and green spaces. That’s why we called this complex as Lacuna which means “an unfilled space; a gap.”.

Oblique Ville

Oblique Ville caters to a diverse section of the rapidly expanding population; a true vertical village that will house around 200 people. This project gives a breath of fresh air as many of the upcoming buildings are generic, repetitive residential towers that lack a sense of community living.

Beneath the Surface

The design pays tribute to the local Dutch heritage while reflecting the city’s modern metropolis culture. A building that reveals what is beneath the general preconceptions.
