Highrise - Common Ground

Art and the Amsterdam Zuidas Area

The Amsterdam Zuidas is an area where a new urban centre is to be created, with office space, residential property and many other facilities. The development has high ambitions, in which art also has an important role to play.

Highrise - Common Ground critically reflects on a variety of aspects relating to art and the planned development of the Zuidas, closely scrutinizing the Zuidas proposals. How do the ambitions of the urban planners develop in conjunction with the artistic approach? How do the art projects influence the experience and use of the public space? The book also features various practical and theoretical contributions from artists.
