FINAL DESIGN New Direction in the Public Interior

Amsterdam, Netherlands “Nine to five? no way...

24/7, 365 and 360° don´t be shy now.”

Through the conversion of a secondary road into a public city campus at the prominent location of Amsterdam Zuidas, an attempt is made to create public interiors that are liberated from their usual allegiance to places of consumption, infrastructure or corporate business. The former no man`s land will be transformed in a contemporary workscape with studios in an exposed public environment.

This public ZUIDAS interior is an CITY CAMPUS intervention on an urban scale; a flat, 520m- long building that adds high quality pedestrian interior (halls, pits, mezzanines, studios) and exterior (courtyards, gardens, stairs) domains to the already existing systems of rather dull squares, paths and lobbies that make up the pedestrian realm of the Amsterdam Zuidas quarter. It is designed

to address multiple user groups and to invite them to occupy different spaces that are available over a certain negotiable period of time.

The objective to create a public interior as a framework for all kinds of emergent and traditional functions, programming and events was achieved by creating charged and hierarchically organized ground contrasted with the continuous omnipresent roof structure. The relationship between the clearance heights of the different spaces and their degree of openness, character and dimension determine the potential uses.

There are also spaces predesignated for informal gatherings or more formal concepts of work.
