 Eastern Docklands AmsterThe Amsterdam's Eastern Docklands have been developed since the seventies from a harbour site to a highly popular residential area with superb and diverse architecture. The district became an important tourist stop for architecture tourists. We see world class footbridges, the 'Gold Coast', sculptural blocks etc. More >> |  NDSM WharfNDSM site In the 1970s, the shipbuilding industry disappeared from the northern IJ shore in Amsterdam, leaving behind an industrial landscape—desolate yet marked by the beauty of abandoned quays and warehouses. On the 32-hectare terrain of the NDSM shipyard, a district is now emerging with a rare mix of living, working, recreation, and events. Old warehouses, now designated as national monuments, will be preserved. |

 HouthavenIn the place where cargo ships unloaded their logs a century ago, an island district is emerging. A neighborhood with narrow streets, plenty of green spaces, and canals weaving between rows of houses. Much of it is already inhabited. At the same time, it serves as an exhibition of architectural styles and a showcase of the most advanced urban planning today. |  Amsterdam New-WestNieuw-West, dull and monotonous? Well, then you're in for a surprise. Varied urban landscapes, charming green spaces, a famous chapter in architectural history, and cutting-edge urban planning with striking architecture—all intertwined. More >> |
 South AxisThe South Axis of Amsterdam has a lot to offer. A grandeur, hardly fitting in the Dutch tradition. Top architecture by Dutch and many foreign architects. More >> |  IJburgThe city's newest residential district is situated on artificial islands in the former harbour mouth, close to the Eastern Docklands. In the future it will be a district with 45.000 inhabitans. IJburg provides fascinating walks. We can walk or make a bicycle tour from the city centre, which runs via 10 really amazing bridges.
