Contemporary living in Amsterdam exhibits

an unusual and fascmatlllg dynamIc.
The collective lifetyle is changing as a result of
thc economIc prosperity, the shortage of urban space,
the general necd for mobility, the firmly entrenched
ind!vidualism and phenomena such as
working from homc anti flexlhle working.
Against this turhulent background,

one hundred floor plans designed m the final
decade of the t\ventieth century. The unIform method
of drawing has resulted in a lucid collection of plans,
which for all their apparenr sunplicity contain
an encrypted cultural code - a format for lIving.

If we look at the diversity o f hOlIsing chemes submir

ted in Amsterdam over the past ten }'ears, however, it i s
clear thar i t is an oversimplification to assert that the
housing production is the result of municipal policy

fronlS and periphcral zones are being developed and

urban recycling and compaction are [aking pbce. Thi"
multiplicity of huilding operations is giving shape to a
wide variety of living environmeTlts, each of which.
with its plll points and drawbacks, has an impact on
the quality of life. Traditional urban renewal in thc
nine[ccnth-ccmury ring wirh irs high housing density
benefits from the proxllniry of high-quality facilities,
but is often <;ril l encumbcred by the limited quality of
the puhlic space and the imbalance i n the compoitiOIl
of the population. However, because more and more
dwellings arc being builr in the inexpensive and middle
segment of thc owner-occupicd market, th is sitll:1tion is
gradually changing. Contcmporary urban renewal, in
parricular in the Bijlmcnneer in Arnsrt'rclarn-Zuidoost,

decisions alone. The qualit}, of Amsrerdam's housing i s

also dependent on a complex o f influences which,

because of its inrricacy. eludes municipal control. The

quality of a dwelling is conne..::red with the qualir
y of
_
the living environment and of the public space in the

1nullediare neighbourhood. Accesslbl!lty, parking tacil

- .
.!.Ucs and all manner of amenities, not forgetting
employment opportunities in city di strict, city region
and the Randstad, all determine the verdict of con
sumers regarding the qualit)' oflife on offer. This means
that the housingproduction must constanrly respond
to a com [ex context of variable factors. Together these
actors point a ca( to L1r lan iving in the future, and so
the quality comours for the twenty-first century arc
already taking hape in the currenr hall sing production
and the preparations for it. New 3ccents arc visible
in recent developments and studies in the field of in
tensive use of space, optimiz3tion of land use and living
i n Iloise-ridden areas. Furthermore, the individual
demand for floor space and spatiality withjn the dwelI
ing lsgrowin$ and there is an increasing emphasis on
architectural quality in combination with the cultiva
tion of fhe public realm as a collective value.

Amsterdam's urbanistic

of grands ensembles. l n addition, traditional and con
temporary urban renewal is being carried out, water-

has a very di fferent character. Here, parciaI dcmolitioll

lion of the one-sided living environment and a new and
compact model of che 'radiant garden city'. There arc
fe\V comparable situations in other European cities

where spacial and social renewal is resulting in such a

drastic transformation as here. The redevelopment of
bOlh infrastructure and blocks of flats in the
Bijlmermeer is quite unique, certainly in combination
with the striving for forms of social renewal and new
employment.

Sporenburg this series of living environment differenti
atioIl has been taken a step further. Here, the 'sea of

dwclling are subordinated t o the pursuit of coherence

and unity, giving rise to a dichotomy between the

increasing rcfinement and differentiation of interior

dwelling and the more universal quality of the exterior

architecture.

This paradox is illustrated by the recent new devel

opment in Oosterparkbuurt in Amsterdam-Oost. The

severe and wilful architecture here has been strongly

influenced by the city-image plan, which is prernised

on the cultivation of nineteenth-century features. Th

dwellings behind the ut1lform screen of the fac;ade,

howev't':'r, are characterized by a greatdiverSIty whichIS

sca""f"CelV(rn
Jice lble in the fai\ades.Something similar is

true in many of thc plans for Borneo and Sporenburg,

where the restrained front clevariol1S revcal little of

the complex spatial dwelling structure behind. Both

examples show a division bet\veen the quality of the

exterior as the boundary of the public living room of

the street and the quality of the interior as the laby

rimhine cocoon of the individual household.

I like this scheme because of the

removing rlle wal1 6erween the two aajacent bed rooms

the balcony on thc upper floor are a pleasant luxury

gen has a very long loggia onro which fOlJr rooms open

and another plus point is that you enter as it were from

enough doors so that you can't make good use of the

loggia from all the rooms. Thar i s a pity because the
dwclling itself is very simple: ir's the loggia rhal makes ir
exciting. In the noor plan by Marlies Rohmer for Dl'
Vlaggen, by COnfraSI, you can circulate frecly. Herc,
there i s a good relationship with rhe exrerior space,

,.

The unusual choice of forms is nor only i mport:l1lr for

the archirecrural expression, but il also makes the
dwellings spatially more inreresting. Baneke, Van der
Hocvcn designed a floor plan for Koningin \X/ilhel
minaplein with a lor of more or less open space which
can he subdivided as required, a sizeable loggia and a
large hall. Unfonunatcly however, this, too, is a three
room dwclling.
An importani poim is that there are not enough
exciting six-room dwellings. The urban family with
children WlS neglccted for many years; everyone
assumed rhar th i s group would find accommodation
outside the ciry. Duni income families with children
also need a lot of space, because as well as bedrooms for
the children, thcy usually need one or two srudies.
Funhermore, individualiznrion may well result in an
increase in singlepcrson households, hUl il will never
he [he case that this group will not wam relationships
.
l '
inlc is not a ermanenr Sla[uS'
with others.
there is conswnr change, wlieh is also why we need

sjx1Ciolls and nexihle dwellings. Four rooms instead o[

threc; rhat would bc a considerable i mprovement.

" thirries dwellings, with lots of movable com

ponents, are ideal.
