According to this Brisith architecture studio,
From the founders’ earliest collaboration at university to now, more than 30 years later, Allford Hall Monaghan Morris has been based on a firm commitment to the design of buildings of economy, elegance and delight. Buildings that reflect a continuing belief in the ability of outstanding architecture to last through time.
AHMM design buildings whose success is defined not just by the use for which they were commissioned, but by their ability to adapt to different uses. The practice aim to design buildings that aim to make a positive and lasting contribution to the city around them. Finally AHMM try to create buildings that form the backdrop to the city and the theatre of everyday life, but that can be, in themselves, extraordinary.

According to AHMM, “The University of Amsterdam explores large-scale reinvention. Two utilitarian buildings from a previous era – part of an incomplete masterplan by Norbert Gawronski – are stripped out, sliced open, reconfigured and then knitted back into the city’s fabric to regenerate a post-war university campus in the heart of the Dutch capital.
A forty-metre section of low-hung, canal-spanning building is cut out and replaced with a four-storey void. Physically and visually opening up the campus behind and the zoo beyond, the void is bridged by a glazed double-height space and five storeys of workstations, all with new views across the city.”
