BDP Brings Healthy Living And Learning To Gouda

Location: Gouda, South Holland, The Netherlands

Architects: BDP

Westergouwe Community Centre Gouda Building News

BDP and its partner, Marseille Buiten have been appointed to design the Westergouwe Community Centre – a mixed use development consisting of a primary school, amenities, sports and affordable housing in Gouda, Netherlands.

In collaboration with the Municipality of Gouda, Stichting Klasse, De Groeiling, De Vier Windstreken, Quadrant Kindercentra and Woonpartners Midden-Holland, BDP will further develop its vision for the new building and the surrounding landscape to create a thriving community-focused place for learning and living.

The Westergouwe Community Centre will provide one of the largest child centres in the Netherlands including a primary school for 1,200 children with additional daycare services. The development will also provide a modern sports hall, community program and 40 affordable apartments.

A landscape-first approach will create an sprawling embankment park which flows around the development and includes a mix of adventure islands, play areas, green schoolyards, recreation zones, an ASM sports field and space for healthy exercise.

Björn Bleumink, architect director at BDP, explains: “We have created a place where active learning and living is at the heart of the design and where nature plays a big role in both.

“The scale of the project is magnificent. There is direct contact with the natural environment on all sides and the creation of four smaller “houses” designed around a central heart space within the building forms a safe place within which children can play, explore and discover the world. Each “house” provides an opportunity to formulate an original, educational space like a children’s cooking area, a shop or a creative corner. It will be a wonderful mix of places where children can learn and grow.”

The sports halls and amenities are also situated around the central heart. Here young and old can meet in an informal manner. In this way, the building plays a connecting role in the social structure and wellbeing of the new neighbourhood.

Nature-inclusive design and the creation of green views invites children, residents and passers-by to discover natural beauty, wildlife and habitats whilst providing space for healthy activity throughout the day. The spaces enable social interaction and provide a perfect setting for the community to meet for a barbecue, for a picnic on the waterfront or an evening stroll.

Construction is due to commence in June 2023.

May 1 2019 Holland

Happy May Day! What a delight to be here in Holland, waking up in Amsterdam in our lovely suite at the Waldorf Astoria, enjoying breakfast in the hotel restaurant and then meeting our guide, Seyo, and our driver, Teyo, who took us to see windmills in Leidshendam.

The three windmills (‘Molendriegang’ in Dutch) at Stompwijk in Leidshendam date back to 1672. Originally, there were four windmills. The fourth mill was demolished in 1840.

According to the Heavenly Holland website:

“The remaining three windmills (Bovenmolen, Middenmolen and Ondermolen) were taken out of service in 1951. They were no longer needed to pump away the water from the polder, as this was taken over by electric pumps. A polder is a large tract of low-lying wetland or former sea floor partially or wholly encircled by dikes and drained mostly with pumps. Poldering is so important the Netherlands would barely exist without it. The canals collect the water, which then flows or is pumped away to the sea.

In 1902 the Ondermolen burned down after it was struck by lightning. It was replaced by a new windmill in 1903. Recently the three thatched windmills have been thoroughly restored. Because the windmill in the middle was sagging, a new concrete foundation was installed.

In WWII the three historic windmills were in operation more often than usual, up to 1700 hours per year.

After World War II the octagonal windmills fell into a state of disrepair and neglect. In 1958 the Province of South Holland acquired the windmills. After years of restoration, on the first National Windmill Day (6 October 1973), the classic line up of three windmills operated for the first time in over 20 years. “

The windmills aren’t open to the public but we were lucky that Seyo introduced us to one of the caretakers who lives in one of the mills and we asked him a lot of questions, which he was happy to answer.

This is a view of one of the canals in the polder. Since Holland is below sea level you can see how flooded they would be without the drainage and pumping systems that make their farmland fertile and keep the country from flooding.

These iconic Dutch homes, which we saw when leaving the windmills to drive to Delft, were so pretty and well-kept, as everything seems to be in Holland.

Delft is a lovely city, famous for its blue pottery, which is very beautiful, and it was fun going into some of the shops and seeing the variety of designs and shades of blue.

According to Wikipedia:

“Delft is a city and municipality in the province of South Holland, Netherlands. It is located between Rotterdam, to the southeast, and The Hague, to the northwest. Together with them, it is part of both Rotterdam–The Hague metropolitan area and the Randstad.

Delft is a popular tourist destination. It is home to Delft University of Technology, regarded as center of technological research and development in the Netherlands, Delft Blue pottery and the currently reigning House of Orange-Nassau. Historically, Delft played a highly influential role in the Dutch Golden Age.

Delft also has a special place in the history of microbiology. In terms of science and technology, thanks to the pioneering contributions of Antonie van Leeuwenhoekand Martinus Beijerinck, Delft can be considered to be the true birthplace of microbiology, with its several sub-disciplines such as bacteriology, proto-zoology, and virology.

The city of Delft came into being beside a canal, the 'Delf', which comes from the word delven, meaning to delve or dig, and this led to the name Delft. At the elevated place where this 'Delf' crossed the creek wall of the silted up river Gantel, a Count established his manor, probably around 1075. Partly because of this, Delft became an important market town, the evidence for which can be seen in the size of its central market square.

A number of Italian glazed earthenware makers settled in the city and introduced a new style. The tapestry industry also flourished when famous manufacturer François Spierincx moved to the city. In the 17th century, Delft experienced a new heyday, thanks to the presence of an office of the Dutch East India Company (opened in 1602) and the manufacture of Delft Blue china.

A number of notable artists based themselves in the city, including Leonard Bramer, Carel Fabritius, Pieter de Hoogh, Gerard Houckgeest, Emanuel de Witte, Jan Steen, and Johannes Vermeer. “

We love visiting churches and mosques during our travels and Delft has two very famous churches, the Old Church and the New Church. According to Wikipedia”

“The Oude Kerk (Old Church), nicknamed Oude Jan ("Old John") and Scheve Jan ("Skewed John"), is a Gothic Protestant church in the old city center of Delft, the Netherlands. Its most recognizable feature is a 75-meter-high brick tower that leans about two meters from the vertical.

The Oude Kerk was founded as St. Bartholomew's Church in the year 1246, on the site of previous churches dating back up to two centuries earlier. The layout followed that of a traditional basilica, with a nave flanked by two smaller aisles.

The tower with its central spire and four corner turrets was added between 1325–50, and dominated the town-scape for a century and a half until it was surpassed in height by the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church). During its construction the foundations were not strong enough to support the building, and the church began to lean. As work continued, the builders tried to compensate for its lean on each layer of the tower, but to this day only the four turrets at the top are truly vertical. Buried in the church are the artist Johannes Vermeer, who is best remembered for his painting “Girl With The Pearl Earring” and Anthony van Leeuwenhoek.”

Another interesting person who was buried in the Old Church was Clara van Spaerwoude. According to Wikipedia:

“Clara Jansdochter van Spaerwoude (sometimes written Sparwoude) (ca. 1530 – 4 August 1615) was a Dutch noblewoman of Delft who is chiefly remembered for her great wealth and various charitable funds from her estate. The most famous of these granted a sum of money to each of her relatives and their descendants upon their marriage, and was in continuous operation until 1922, when the monies were liquidated by the Dutch government.

Clara was the daughter of Jan Heyndrixzn. (1477–1552) a goldsmith of Delft, and his second wife Willemtgen Willemsdr (1495–1564). In 1556 she married Arent Vranckenzn. van der Meer (died 1596), a high-ranking city official and burgemeester in Delft. Following her death on 4 August 1615, she was interred on 8 August in the Oude Kerk in Delft, where her prominent tomb is visible still.

As Clara and her husband had no children together, upon her death she donated her considerable riches to various charitable projects, including a fund for "poor relations", typically interpreted as meaning all descendants of her elder half-brother Adriaan and younger half-sister Maritgen. A payment was made to each relation upon their wedding.

Originally a considerable sum of money, the amount paid dwindled over the centuries as a result of inflation and the increasing number of "relations." In the early 20th century the Dutch government retained an official whose responsibilities included maintaining the pedigree of Clara van Spaerwoude's family and disbursing the funds to qualifying relatives.

The New Church isn’t really all that new, being almost as ancient as the Old Church.

According to Wikipedia:

The Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) is a Protestant church in the city of Delft in the Netherlands. The building is located on Delft Market Square (Markt), opposite to the City Hall. In 1584, William the Silent was entombed here in a mausoleum designed by Hendrick and Pieter de Keyser. Since then members of the House of Orange-Nassau have been entombed in the royal crypt. The latest are Queen Juliana and her husband Prince Bernhard in 2004. The private royal family crypt is not open to the public. The church tower, designed by Pierre Cuypers and completed in 1872, is the second highest in the Netherlands, after the Domtoren in Utrecht.

The New Church, formerly the church of St. Ursula (14th century), is the burial place of the Princes of Orange and other members of the Royal Families. The church is remarkable for its fine tower and chime of bells, and contains the splendid allegorical monument of William the Silent, crafted by Hendrik de Keyser and his son Pieter about the year 1621, and the tomb of Hugo Grotius , born in Delft in 1583, whose statue, erected in 1886, stands in the marketplace outside the church.

The tower was built 1396-1496 by Jacob van der Borch, who also built the Dom in Utrecht during the years 1444-1475. The monument for Hugo de Groot was made in 1781. The mechanical clock has 18 bells by Francois Hemony from 1659 and 30 modern bells. In the church tower there is a bell from 1662 by Francois Hemony with a diameter of 104 centimeters.

We left Delft and Teyo drove us to The Hague. According to Wikipedia:

“The Hague is a city on the western coast of the Netherlands on the North Sea and the capital of the province of South Holland. It is also the seat of government of the Netherlands and hosts the International Court of Justice, one of the most important courts in the world.”

With a metropolitan population of more than 1 million, it is the third-largest city in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam and Rotterdam. The Rotterdam–The Hague metropolitan area, with a population of approximately 2.7 million, is the 13th-largest in the European Union and the most populous in the country.

The Hague is the seat of the Cabinet, the States General, the Supreme Court, and the Council of State of the Netherlands, but the city is not the constitutional capital of the Netherlands, which is Amsterdam.[8]King Willem-Alexander lives in Huis ten Bosch[9][a] and works at the Noordeinde Palace in The Hague, together with Queen Máxima. Most foreign embassies in the Netherlands are located in the city. The Hague is also home to the world headquarters of Royal Dutch Shell and other Dutch companies.

The Dutch Parliament building

The Hague is known as the home of international law and arbitration. The International Court of Justice, the main judicial arm of the United Nations, is located in the city, as well as the International Criminal Court, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, Europol, and approximately 200 other international governmental organizations.

We walked to the Mauritius, a famous art museum and had lunch in the restaurant there, which was very good, with our guide, Seyo. We LOVE art museums, and we really like some of the Dutch Masters, especially Vermeer and Rembrandt, so, after lunch, we spent an hour in the museum, marveling at the collection.

According to Wikipedia:

“The Mauritshuis is an art museum in The Hague, Netherlands. The museum houses the Royal Cabinet of Paintings which consists of 854 objects, mostly Dutch Golden Age paintings. The collections contains works by Johannes Vermeer, Rembrandt van Rijn, Jan Steen, Paulus Potter, Frans Hals, Jacob van Ruisdael, Hans Holbein the Younger, and others. Originally, the 17th century building was the residence of count John Maurice of Nassau. It is now the property of the government of the Netherlands and is listed in the top 100 Dutch heritage sites. “

When we left the museum we stopped at an almshouse. According to Heavenly Holland:

“Hofjes are almshouses set around a central courtyard build by the rich, originally providing housing for poor families and elderly ladies. Many hofjes have been knocked down over the years, but the remaining ones (often still lived in by single women) are open to the public on weekdays. “

The gardens were lovely and I was happy for the women who live in this comfortable place.

Seyo then took us to a place that many people don’t visit or even know about, called The Panorama Mesdag. According to Wikipedia:

“Panorama Mesdag is a panorama by Hendrik Willem Mesdag. Housed in a purpose-built museum in The Hague, the panorama is a cylindrical painting (also known as a Cyclorama) more than 14 metres high and about 40 metres in diameter (120 metres in circumference). From an observation gallery in the centre of the room the cylindrical perspective creates the illusion that the viewer is on a high sand dune overlooking the sea, beaches and village of Scheveningen in the late 19th century. A foreground of fake terrain around the viewing gallery hides the base of the painting and makes the illusion more convincing. “

It was FANTASTIC! If you ever visit the Hague, don’t miss it!

After such a long and busy day, we rested when we got back to the hotel and then had dinner at Spectrum restaurant there, and the food was delicious and creative.

After dinner we watched “Tulip Fever”, which, if you haven’t seen it, is a very interesting, exciting, and romantic film.

Watch this trailer to whet your appetite:

As cities are becoming more dynamic and free spaces are turning to densely built areas; the urban population is feeling more stressed and health concerns are rising.

The study “titled: Fit for the Future” focuses on the smart, healthy and (climate) adaptive cities, with an emphasis on sport and active exercises. The study location is at the eastern edge of Utrecht which looks at the development, in the year 2040.

The team believes that a good spatial integration of sport and movement in the urban-fabric can have many benefits to the future of the cities that creates healthier citizens. A population with both physical and mental health is a precondition for a successful, inclusive and prosperous city.

Below, there are some of our most important recommendations for arriving at inclusive, future-proof cities:

1. Putting the health matters of the urbanite on the Center-Stage.

2. A better connection of the city and landscape. City policies to turn selected areas to a hybrid zone where the transformation function of the city and landscape can be linked together.

3. Focus on zero-emission areas and link the mobility transition to health, by making room for healthy mobility in the broadest sense: walking, running, climbing, crawling, hopping, cycling, stepping, skating, roller blading, etc.

4. Encouraging the transition from traditional agricultural land use and closed sports clubs, to an open and accessible landscape, which offers space for sports, games, care, recreation, climate adaptation and biodiversity.

5. Design a new instrumentation policy that enables adaptivity in the use of space and it’s scaled up transition.

In the Netherlands, transportation between particular locations can cost you much more money than you’d expect, and that’s what I’m here for today: to enlighten you with some tips concerning methods of saving money when using public transport to travel around the entire country. I hope you’ll find this article useful!

Planes

I’m not going to devote much time to the air transport since there is not much to talk about. But just so you know, in the Netherlands you’ll find airports in Amsterdam (Schiphol), Rotterdam & Den Haag, Eindhoven, Groningen and Maastricht (Aachen).

The Netherlands’ national carrier is KLM offering wide range of flights to/from all the afore mentioned airports. A wide array of airlines offer flights to Schiphol, lesser to other available locations. Between the low-cost airlines flying to the Netherlands belong RyanAir (Eindhoven), Transavia (Rotterdam & Den Haag), EasyJet (Schiphol). As for me, I prefer flying with KLM since it provides the passengers with more comfort and better service. Plus it’s priced reasonably.

OV-chipkaart

When travelling within the Netherlands, I highly recommend you this handy card: the OV-chipkaart. It’s used as an official transport payment system throughout the entire country for all types of trains, trams, buses and metro.

There are two types of this card (both cost the same: 7,50€): anonymous, which you can buy from the OV-chipkaart machines situated at all stations, or by the cassa at the bigger train and metro stations; and personal, which you can apply for online. Your pass can be loaded from one of the OV-chipkaart machines strategically placed at train and metro stations, or you can arrange for your personal card to load automatically from a bank account.

The advantages of owning such card:

you don’t need to be concerned about buying any separate tickets in advance

you can enter and leave stations anytime you want

it saves you a lot of money

The disadvantages of owning such card:

you always have to check-in (inchecken) and check-out (uitchecken), and if you forget to do so, you’re either considered a stowaway, or charged ridiculous amount of money until you check back in – you can prevent this by calling their helpline (0900 0980), since they are authorised to check you both in and out in their headquarters as well

on personal cards you always have to have minimum amount of money (“saldo”) – 20€, otherwise it’s not serviceable

All in all, I think this card will help you in numerous ways, plus saves you a lot of money and time. It’s very convenient! I purchased this card (personal one) when I was about to visit the Netherlands for the first time, and let me tell you how comfortable it was, not to care about buying any tickets anywhere! This is their website if you’d be interested: OV-chipkaart.

Trains

Trains are the best mean of transport since they’re fast and reasonably priced (for OV-chipkaart owners, otherwise they’re quite pricey).

However, there is more than one type of trains in the Netherlands: Sprinter trains – what we all associate with being the worst trains, as they are less comfortable, smaller and don’t have toilets. Intercity trains – the cool double-decker trains and Intercity Direct trains – high-speed trains which get you from major city to major city in half the time of a normal Intercity train and tenth of the time it’d take the Sprinter to overcome such distance. You can also choose between first and second class seats, and between common and quiet (“stilte”) wagons.

Trams

System of trams runs in every larger town, and it’s a perfect way of getting someplace else on the other side of the particular city.

I’ve read somewhere that trams are working only in bigger cities like A’dam, R’dam or Utrecht, but that’s a pure lie: you’ll find them in Delft, which sometimes can not even be tracked on the map, hence I assume they’re to be found everywhere.

Metro

Underground is present in only two Dutch cities: Amsterdam and Rotterdam. It’s the fastest and cheapest way of transport inbetween the proximate locations.

Buses

Buses are very common in the Netherlands, most of them run every at least 30 minutes, and almost all of them accept OV-chipkaart as well.

Cars

International car rental agencies are widely available throught the entire county, for instance Enterprise, Hertz, Europcar, Dollar or Avis. Renting a car is very affordable, however, it’s quite difficult to find a car park that’s not occupied, or basically to access any city: in most of the towns there’s a strict regulation of cars and usually they’re prohibited in the whole city centre.

When you’re travelling to the Netherlands by your own car, a full pack of exquisite highways (all free of charge expect one tunnel) connecting all the municipalities around the country is available. Queues are pretty normal, too, mostly during the “spits” hours (6:30 – 9:30am, 3:30 – 7:00pm).

Taxis

Taxis are very expensive and not allowed to pick up people on the street except by reservation or at a taxi stand, look for the “standplaats taxis” sign. Therefore I’d like to recommend you Uber, Taxify or likewise services.

Bikes

Bikes are the most common mean of transport in the Netherlands, and hiring or buying one is definitely a good decision. However, be careful and do not leave them unlocked (at least twice) and do not buy any from people on the street, because they’re most likely to be stolen!

All in all, in my opinion there’s a great and elaborate system of transport, and now with the modern means of technology is travelling even more accessible than it used to be. So why not to use what we have and make the most out of it?

I hope this article helped you in some way, helped you with your struggles and answered your questions. Feel free to ask me anything!

Have a great day!

Ring roads of the future in an urban context

Electric cars that require charging and autonomous cars that can be summoned to take you from A to B. How do you take these future challenges into account in spatial planning? And what will Dutch roads and the living environment look like in 2030? In February 2016, the Professional Association of Dutch Architect's Agencies (Branchevereniging Nederlandse Architectenbureaus, BNA) and TU Delft launched a design initiative inviting design teams and the municipalities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht to examine five ring road locations in the respective cities. On Wednesday 15 February 2017, the resulting visions were presented at TU Delft in a new book entitled motorway x City. http://dlvr.it/NP3FVB

Student Hotel Delft Building: KCAP

The Student Hotel Delft Building

The Student Hotel Delft Building News

Location: Nieuw Delft, Delft, The Netherlands

Architects: KCAP Architects&Planners

KCAP realizes The Student Hotel Delft

Rotterdam, October 8th, 2020 – The Student Hotel Delft in the Nieuw Delft area development has opened its doors. KCAP has worked together with The Student Hotel, Municipality of Delft, BAM Bouw en Techniek – Projecten, Bectro Installatie Techniek, Nieman Raadgevende Ingenieurs and The Invisible Party for the new destination. The attention to sustainability resulted in ‘BREEAM Very Good’ certificate for the building that opens up to the city.

Lobby:

The Student Hotel Delft, located centrally in the Nieuw Delft area development, is a new meeting place in the city to live, work, and study. The diversity of functions contributes to the dynamics of the station area. The new building connects with the bus square, the old station building and the new intercity station hall with municipal offices. Dialogue and openness towards the urban context were crucial for designing the latest destination of The Student Hotel (TSH) in The Netherlands.

view to old station:

The hybrid hotel concept combines high-end hotel functions with extraordinary short- and long-stay facilities for students. The ensemble with its 13,500 m2 includes 340 hotel rooms, a gym, restaurant, and a library. In addition, the program provides gaming and lounge rooms as well as several conference facilities and co-working areas.

Station forecourt:

The architecture of The Student Hotel mitigates between the scale of the buildings of the Phoenixstraat and the smaller grain of the Koendersbuurt. With its robust appearance and the recognisable traditional construction of plinth, main volume, and structure, the building offers a counterbalance to the glass dominated municipal office. The main volume consists of a sturdy ribbed concrete shell.

The Student Hotel Delft:

Edward Schuurmans, a partner of KCAP, explains: ‘With the lively and transparent plinth containing many public facilities, The Student Hotel is a present to the station square of Delft. The architecture presents a soft vintage boldness that suits vigorous student life’. The pronounced interior design underlines this feeling while the facade welcomes the passers-by with an interplay of reflection, light, and shadow.

facade:

All the public hotel functions are located in the plinth. Here storey-high glass panels and concrete columns alternate. The plinth’s transparent design creates a vibrant streetscape and activates the station square towards the nearby park. On the floors above that have a more solid aspect with earthy colour, the communal student kitchens are visible in the open glass corners. The top presents a lighter tone and blurs in the cityscape. By positioning the rooms around a patio and inside the two towers, we have created an efficient and compact layout that fosters the community building.

from above:

KCAP worked in an integrated team with BAM for the design, using the latest digital techniques to control the entire process. The building is fully elaborated in a 3D model. These models not only provide added value in the building process but are also extremely suitable for visualisations and virtualisation.

volumes:

In addition to community building and social interaction, sustainability is an essential focus in the design. The project distinguishes itself by using the latest installation, construction, and engineering techniques, like a soil-based thermal energy CHP system and application of circular economy for the interiors of the ground floor and common areas. Thanks to its position at a public transportation hub and a bicycle shed, The Student Hotel encourages sustainable mobility. The hotel in Delft is the first The Student Hotel in the Netherlands realised following BREEAM certification criteria.

With its clear architecture, The Student Hotel Delft contributes to a lively neighborhood and fosters togetherness in a unique dialogue between the students, hotel guests and the city of Delft.

Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen Rotterdam

Location: Museumpark, Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen Completes Construction In Preparation For Museum’s Big Move

September 24, 2020 / Rotterdam, NL – Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, the first publicly accessible art depot in the world designed by MVRDV, has completed construction. Located in Rotterdam’s Museumpark, the depot features a new type of experience for museum visitors: a sturdy engine room where the complete collection of 151,000 objects is made accessible to the public.

In addition to the various storage and care areas, the depot has a restaurant and an award-winning rooftop forest. The construction completion paves the way for interior furnishings and the long process of moving the museum’s complete collection into their new storage facility.

An approximately 130-foot-high building ‘in the round’, the Depot’s bowl-like form has a relatively small footprint. This form ensures that at the ground level, existing views into and routes through the Museumpark remain unimpeded and reduces the impact on underground water buffers, while an expansive rooftop public space with a restaurant provides access to inspiring views of Rotterdam.

Comprising 71,138 square feet of glass subdivided into 1,664 mirrored panels, its reflective façade wears the trappings of whatever surrounds it: people passing by, Museumpark’s leafy grounds, the clouds, and Rotterdam’s dynamic city skyline. Thanks to this reflection, the building is already fully integrated into its surroundings, despite its not insignificant size of 161,458 square feet. It enlivens its surroundings while establishing strong relationships with the park and the neighboring buildings.

In the Depot, artifacts will be stored and exhibited according to their climatic requirements, as opposed to movement or era. Each storage space is climate controlled and organized into five different climate zones, arranged according to works of art produced with different materials: metal, plastic, organic/inorganic, and photography.

The building’s eye-catcher is the atrium with crisscrossing staircases and suspended glass display cases showing exhibitions of works selected by museum curators. This atrium will lead visitors to exhibition rooms and curators’ studios, offering them a unique behind-the-scenes experience and the chance to learn how a world-renowned museum maintains and cares for its art collection.

Art is displayed throughout the building, beginning in the ground floor lobby and continuing along the entire route through the building, extending even to the rooftop restaurant. Outside this restaurant, a rooftop forest at a height of 115 feet will provide another public attraction, accessible via an express elevator from the ground floor, and populated by 75 multi-stemmed birch trees standing several meters tall. The rooftop offers visitors breathtaking vistas across the city of Rotterdam.

Winy Maas, founding partner of MVRDV: “With this construction completion, now the museum and the users can start to inhabit the building and fill its spaces with priceless art. Although it will take another year before the real opening, the completion is a special moment for all: the museum, the city of Rotterdam, Stichting De Verre Bergen and of course for the contractor BAM, the many construction workers and subcontractors who persisted during the difficult circumstances we all faced due to the pandemic. The depot design is daring, and its success comes from the direct dialogue with all parties involved – from the person calculating the exact curvature of the mirroring panels and the construction worker who put up the glass vitrines to the company that co-designed our rooftop forest.”

Sjarel Ex and Ina Klaassen, directors Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen: “This is a working building in which the most important consideration is what the building can do: to look after our collection while still being open to the public. Next year the entire collection of Boijmans Van Beuningen will once again be visible on one spot for the first time since 1935. We are convinced that making the collection accessible shows how much we care and how well we take care of it. This is something that the inhabitants of Rotterdam will be proud of; something that they want to see with their own eyes, because they partly own this enormous artistic treasure.”

Directeur Ina Klaassen in Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen: photo : Daria Scagliola

Depot Boijmans Van Beunigen is a collaboration between Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, the Municipality of Rotterdam and the De Verre Bergen foundation. The depot was designed by MVRDV, and made possible by BAM Bouw en Techniek. In Autumn 2021 it will open its doors for the public. From September 25th to 27th 2020 a sneak preview is organized for the inhabitants of Rotterdam. All 7,700 (free) tickets for this event were reserved within three hours.

7 wonders of Delft, Netherlands

Delft is one of the smaller Dutch towns, but that doesn’t necessarily means that it deserves lesser recognition. A bit of a cliché, but I can’t sum it up better! It’s packed with a load of traditional Dutch architecture and de grachten. Canals here are, however, greener than in any other cities I’ve been to, but that’s not a proper argument to miss this municipality out!
