| − | '''POST-INDUSTRIAL DESERT'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | NDSM-Wharf is a post-industrial desert, that creates a feeling of detachment. Though the site is inhabited by some pioneers and a few large firms in their corporate fortresses, most of the site remains a barren place with great views and little protection against the elements.

| − | '''INSIDE VS OUTSIDE'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | While at first sight, not a lot happens at the NDSM-wharf when you are there on an ordinary week day. However, when you go inside the Kunst-stad, MTV HQ or maybe Red Bull you will find a lot of stuff going on at this site.

| − | '''OPEN SPACE = POSSIBILITIES'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The absence of activities and the vast open space after the closure of the wharf has generated an environment where there are many possibilities without a lot of limitations. This has drawn in many artists and creative people as well as the festivals that happen at the place during the summer months.

| − | '''VOYAGE'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For the people from the centre of Amsterdam and beyond, getting to NDSM-wharf is a true voyage. However the wharf is located at only 10 minutes from the Central Station of Amsterdam, the link between both places is operated by a ferry which only travels once every 30 minutes and even less at night. This feeling of detachement, or bad connectivity as some would name it, is a strong feeling connected to the place.
