Living in Amsterdam North “I like that it’s part of the city and yet feels like a village. All the green space, the silence, the quaint houses. When you go to a city like London the streets are crowded and everyone is moving towards a des7na7on. In Noord people are more chill, they move in different ways.” “No, not at all. Without wan7ng to be offensive, but for me a Noordeling is someone who goes to the Dirk van den Broek to get his month’s supply of Best Beer and/or viewx.” “I am trying to show how much immigrants feel insecure and lost in the Noord. They are in a corner, and cannot help but feel like outsiders. Even thought they might be third or even fourth genera7on living in Noord. They become foreigners both in Amsterdam and Istanbul. They are in between personae, and don’t know where they belong.”
Open City Plan 1996
Anchors of the IJ, 1995 -‐ new strategic memorandum called Anchors of the IJ was passed by the city for the redevelopment of the Waterfront. It compartmentalized the IJ axis allowing separate parts of the south bank to be independently developed. -‐ The plan proposed to build on exis7ng island structures with a phased development which would start at the outer edges and work towards the Central Sta7on area. -‐ This approach allowed for development of the master plans for smaller and more manageable areas. It also shiYed the program from office development to a centered focus on housing with public buildings, where public spaces represented “anchors” at key loca7ons that were apart of a larger framework of infrastructure development.
