Curatorial context

In anticipation of Amsterdam's 750th anniversary and looking towards its 800th, the exhibition 'Horizon Haven-Stad 2075' delves into one of the city's most significant transformations: the Haven-Stad district. This area, set for a major overhaul from industrial zones to mixed-use neighborhoods, will eventually house tens of thousands of homes and new business spaces. The exhibition utilizes fictional character perspectives to make tangible the complex challenges associated with blending living, working, energy transition, sustainability, and preserving industrial heritage. The exhibition features an expanded interactive model of 'Model City Haven-Stad,' originally displayed since 2023. This model, with its detailed insights into the Metropolitan Region's spatial development, is augmented with mini-stories offering diverse viewpoints. Visitors can explore the implications of living and working in this new district from the perspectives of various fictional inhabitants, including a dockworker, a student, a creative business owner, a family, and even consider the impact on local fauna. It highlights notable existing buildings like the Houtveemloods and discusses the challenges of urban densification, the potential loss of amenities like football clubs and community gardens, and the adaptation required for both human and animal life in a rapidly developing environment. Furthermore, the exhibition touches upon crucial themes like sustainable waste management, with insights from Architect in Residence Carolien Schippers investigating its long-term ecological effects.
