Details

The South Bank of the IJ inlet in Amsterdam has undergone a spectacular transformation in a short period of time. Densely stacked apartment blocks, offices and businesses have been joined by cultural institutions, restaurants and schools, in a combination of new and old architecture. This guide Along Amsterdam's Waterfront is the first full survey of architectural development in the former dockland area.
Nine architectural routes with photographs and explanatory texts guide you past around 200 projects — old, new, and planned — varying from apartment complexes and office premises to public spaces, bridges, monuments and works of art. Attention is also devoted to a variety of themes, such as housing typologies, infrastructure, the harbor, the IJ dikes, and recreation.
