Client : Ontwikkelingsbedrijf Gemeente Amsterdam
Site : Amsterdam, Netherlands (90ha)
Programme : urban research
Type : commission
Making use of the potential in the different levels in the urban landscape we propose establishing a fine masked bicycle network, reinforcing the profile of Sloterdijk
as an area built up around infrastructure with a retro futuristic fascination for elevated roads, viaducts and bridges. The spaces created under and around the new
infrastructure make it possible to introduce programme such as lunch cafes, kiosks and bicycle storages, which currently do not exist. The addition of programme will generate
part of the financing for the bicycle network and create a pleasant human scale public space which can work as catalyst for the general improvement of the image of Sloterdijk.
