Architecture Eastern Docklands

The Eastern Docklands of Amsterdam- a walk through- the Java- and KNSM Islands, Sporenburg and Borneo along the IJ.

Amsterdam started thinking about rebuilding the former harbour area at the end of the eighties of the previous century. Soeters only left one original harbour building among the newly built houses. Coenen decided to maintain several harbour details and - buildings. A combination of authentic harbour buildings among modern architecture was the result. Surprise yourself in nice streets on this island with so many different low- and high-rise buildings, bridges designed by promising and well-known artists and architects scattered over these islands.

    We enjoyed it!
