Amsterdam Buildings : Architecture
Architectural Developments in The Netherlands, Europe
Architecture in AmsterdamDutch BuildingsWe've selected what we feel are the key examples of Amsterdam Architecture. We aim to include buildings in the Dutch capital that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both. We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across Amsterdam. The focus is on contemporary Dutch buildings but information on traditional architecture is also welcome.  picture © Adrian Welch Amsterdam Architecture Walking Tours  photograph © Adrian Welch We have 3 pages of Amsterdam Architecture selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages. Amsterdam Architecture : news + key buildings (this page) Amsterdam buildings : A-K Amsterdam Architecture Designs : L-Z Amsterdam Building - Latest DesignsZiggo DomeBenthem Crouwel Architects  photo : Jannes Linders Ziggo Dome - 29 Nov 2012 The sign becomes the building: brightly lit and dark at the same time, the impressive Dome shall not go unnoticed when passing by. This Dutch building is covered with 120,000 LED fixtures, allowing the facade to appear as a video screen on all sides. The 10,000 sqm screen can be used for announcements or to show what is happening inside. De Kameleon, The Bijlmer, Amsterdam Zuidoost NL Architects  photo : Luuk Kramer De Kameleon Amsterdam - 10 Jul 2012 De Kameleon is a supersized housing block including a new shopping center and plenty of parking in the area formerly known as Bijlmermeer. The Bijlmer is the one area in the Netherlands that sometimes is considered a ghetto. At the moment the area is going through a radical renovation process: an attempt is being made to turn it into a regular Dutch suburb. Standard low-rise housing is introduced that replaces the 10 storey apartment buildings but also the green spaces in-between them. Solid 11 Tony Fretton Architects  photo : Peter Cook Solid 11 Amsterdam - 2 Jul 2012 RIBA Awards 2012 Winner The client sees his projects as satisfying a need not making a profit; they are designed to last for a century and so have to be adaptable to the needs of unknown occupants. Spaces were auctioned on the basis of what users would bring to the mix and include restaurants, boutique hotels, a dentist, a hairdresser and artists, alongside regular residential uses. Drug Addict Hotel Atelier Kempe Thill  photo © Ulrich Schwarz Junky Hotel Amsterdam - 26 Jun 2012 The Amsterdam-Bijlmermeer housing development, which was erected in the nineteenseventies based on CIAM principles under the direction of Siegfried Nassuth, has been being overhauled since the mid-nineteen-nineties due to a wide range of social and structural problems. In this case, urban renewal means, above all, radically demolishing large-scale, honeycombed housing blocks and replacing them with differentiated, smallscale block development and terraced housing. Amsterdam International Golf Club, Schiphol Mecanoo architecten  image from architects Amsterdam International Golf Club - 7 Jun 2012 Construction begins on the new clubhouse for the Amsterdam International Golf Club Schiphol. The new exclusive golf club is located next to Schiphol Airport, a stone’s throw from Amsterdam’s Zuidas business district. The 2,000 m² clubhouse is designed by Mecanoo and features, in addition to a high end restaurant, a fitness and wellness centre with luxury dressing rooms, lounges, terrace and roof terrace for parties and events. G-Star RAW Headquarters OMA  image © OMA G-Star RAW Amsterdam - 29 May 2012 Situated next to the A10 in the industrial ZuidOost area of Amsterdam, the new HQ for G-Star RAW will consolidate their disparate facilities into a single building that aims to stimulate interaction between various departments. The 27,500m2 horizontal building – 140 metres long - consists of a creative nucleus containing the core departments of G-Star RAW, which are enveloped by a ring of offices, parking and support facilities. Hilton Schiphol Hotel Mecanoo  picture from architects Amsterdam Airport Schiphol Hotel Hilton Worldwide and Schiphol Real Estate, Schiphol Group’s real estate subsidiary, have today signed an agreement to introduce a new landmark 433 guest room Hilton Hotels & Resorts hotel to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, to be designed by prominent Dutch architects, Mecanoo. The new hotel will replace the current Hilton property and is expected to open in 2015, with construction scheduled to start later in 2012. Amsterdam Iconic Bridge Competition [AC-CA] Design Contest  image from design contest organisers Amsterdam Iconic Bridge Competition - various designs The winning project was able to combine an iconic proposal with a real urban solution. A circuit bringing us to the heights or depths, a partially submerged Ring on an extraordinary equilibrium. It swims and at the same time threatens to fly. It is a solution that engages the user to ponder on the decision of which path to choose: the underwater for a romantic and exploring passage or aerial for a bright and direct path ‐ Ring of pedestrian and environmental activity.
