Land in Zicht is a collaborative project initiated by photographer Theo Baart and author Tijs van den Boomen, in partnership with ARCAM and Podium voor Architectuur Haarlemmermeer. The project delves into the complex spatial dynamics surrounding Schiphol Airport, acknowledging the significant influence of its sound contours on development possibilities. It aims to uncover new narratives and envision future potentials for the region by gathering stories and images, often facilitated by 'Verwonderingstochten' (wondering tours) with experts. This initiative builds upon ARCAM's prior research, including the 'Manifest van de Scheggen' (2019) and the exhibition 'Schiphol Centraal' (2005), which explored alternative water management, nature development, and radical redesign concepts for the Schiphol region. The project seeks to foster a coalition of creative thinkers to explore 'possible futures' for the area, unhindered by conventional limitations. Several public activities have been organized as part of this project, including explorations around the Kaagbaan, Zwanenburgbaan, and Aalsmeerbaan, engaging professionals and experts in dialogue about the social, ecological, and spatial challenges and opportunities present.
Information about specific activities and past events is provided, with links to reports on the Podium voor Architectuur website.
