Curatorial context

Architectuurcentrum Amsterdam presents its annual Winter Lectures series for 2019, themed 'Amsterdam in de Steigers' (Amsterdam under construction). This series comprises six lectures held on Sunday afternoons throughout January and February, delving into six different large-scale urban development projects. The talks address how Amsterdam is densifying and transforming monofunctional neighborhoods into genuine urban districts, with a focus on circularity and sustainability. Projects discussed include the plans for Zuidasdok, developments in Centrumgebied Amsterdam Noord, the transformation of Bajeskwartier, and the plans for a new city center around Station Sloterdijk – areas where construction is either underway or imminent. The lectures are primarily in Dutch and some are complemented by excursions.
