Langs het IJ

Architectuurtochten door gebieden aan de zuidelijke IJoever, Amsterdam

In London it’s the docklands; in New York it’s Williamsburg; and in Amsterdam it’s the area along the southern bank of the IJ inlet. Everywhere you look, the light and space created for industry and harbor activities are being repurposed for residential life, business and services: where once coffee was shipped, coffee is served. A two-decade makeover of the southern bank of Amsterdam’s IJ inlet has seen disused shipping wharfs, dockside warehouses and industrial estates replaced by a new urban zone, nestled into (onto) the historic city centre. This architectural guide along Amsterdam’s waterfront is the first full survey of development in areas historically connected with the harbor. Its texts on housing typologies, infrastructure, gentrification and recreation are accompanied by nine architectural routes documented in photographs, drawings and texts, which take in more than 200 projects.

Contributing authors: Daphna Beerdsen, Yttje Feddes, Maarten Kloos, Ernest Kurpershoek, Merel Ligtelijn, Marinus Oostenbrink, Ingrid Oosterheerd, Evert Verhagen and Sabine Lebesque.
