This exhibition showcases five new construction projects in Amsterdam that actively involve local communities in their design and execution. It highlights collaborative efforts in housing cooperatives and renovation projects across the Nieuw-West, Noord, and Zuidoost districts.
The exhibition 'Retellings – Building Together with Neighbourhoods' delves into five contemporary construction projects within Amsterdam's Nieuw-West, Noord, and Zuidoost districts. These projects are distinguished by their inclusive approach, where the design and construction processes are undertaken not just for, but in direct partnership with, the local communities. Featured examples include the Housing Cooperative De Bundel and the Wildemanbuurt in Nieuw-West, the Renovation of Geldershoofd & Gravestein, and the Management Cooperative Vreeswijkpad in Zuidoost, alongside the SAMPLE project in Noord. These initiatives are presented against the backdrop of Amsterdam's significant urban development goals, which include building 150,000 new homes by 2050 and addressing the critical need for sustainability and maintenance in existing social housing. The challenges and resident responses in the aforementioned districts underscore the importance of community-centered approaches in contemporary urban planning and architectural practice.
