The economic crisis has big influences on development; its depressing vibe is not a new phenomenon; this however has taught us that recessions are not only periods of mass firing and budget cuts, but also of creative solutions to existing problems. the innovation and experimentation era has begun.
NDSM is setting a great example during this economic crisis: closed down in 1984 when the shipbuilding industry was no longer profitable, the NDSM area is now one of the most important breeding grounds for artistic pursuits and creative companies (MTV, REDBULL).
With its rugged, industrial style and loads of open space, the NDSM feels worlds away from the historical vibe of Amsterdam’s city center. Because of its size, the wharf has developed into an enduring festival location and an artistic canvas; attracting artists and tourists alike. This is a site full of character and Identiy; a Site for both urban and cultural Renewal:
[NDSM Experience] Upon arrival to amsterdam centraal; a convient short walk takes you outside to the ‘gratis’ Ferry. this ferry has a direct route every 15 mins to the NDS werf. This short 10 min cruise can be seen as the beginning of the [NDSM Experience].
The unique aspect to the site is the controlled number of entrances. its current function “festive event space’ serves to utilise such features. the collection and Dispersion of people can be seen to evoke interaction and new interventions.
once you arrive at NDSM werf; you see a small red docking station; its scale and colour evokes an intricate art piece more so than an functional docking station. its position is located at the turning point of hte major car access way on the site. upon arrival [Choice] is provided.
The Texture of the Site Evokes both abandoned emptyness and artistic renewal. warehouses, containers, railways tracks and large mechanical machines all represent the past, the history, that what use to be , the value and the sources of inspiration. the graffiti, building extensions, colour and programmatic reuse of the warehouse / containers all represent the [New elements] of the present NDSM.
This is a site full of character and Identiy; a Site for both urban and cultural Renewal:
The Container:
The Mechanical Monsters:
The Tram + Tram Tracks:
The Restoration of Existing Buildings:
The Openspace:
The Artistic Fever:
