#Business district

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I was walking in a business district that was bizarrely empty except for a McDonald’s and an Argentine food truck with a line leading to it. I had a bocadillo sandwich and fries from it.

Also, the guy said he was from Argentina but the food truck had the Uruguayan Flag on it for some reason.

Valley Towers 

The building distinguishes itself in several ways: firstly, it combines offices, shops, catering, cultural facilities, and apartments in one building; secondly, unlike the closed-off buildings elsewhere in the Zuidas, the green valley that winds between the towers on the fourth and fifth floors is accessible to everyone via two external stone staircases. The building’s extensive planting, designed by landscape architect Piet Oudolf, hosts approximately 13,500 young plants, shrubs, and trees. As these mature over the coming years, they will give Valley an increasingly green appearance, making the building a manifesto for a greener city.

Valley is an attempt to bring a green and human dimension back to the inhospitable office environment of Amsterdam Zuidas. It is a building with multiple faces; on the outer edges of the building is a shell of smooth mirrored glass, which fits the context of the business district. Inside this shell, the building has a completely different, more inviting natural appearance, as if the glass block has crumbled away to reveal craggy rock faces inside replete with natural stone and greenery.

are you kidding me, i knew that it was easy to get by in amsterdam with english, but i didn't want to be one of those presumptuous anglophones, so i practiced over and over what my coffee order would be. i got to the front of the line, and i ask with my best practiced accent "mag ik een kopje koffie, geen suiker, geen melk, alstublieft?" and the barista looks me dead in the eyes and says "sorry, i don't speak dutch, can you say it in english?" like??? we're literally in the netherlands and the barisita doesn't speak dutch??? how is that possible??? how did he get the job???
