BEUNINGENPLEIN 儿童广场丨荷兰阿姆斯特丹

BEUNINGENPLEIN PLAYGROUND

Parked cars dominate the public space both physically and functionally. Therefore the city of Amsterdam has decided to construct an underground parking garage at ‘van Beuningenplein’ at the existing playground. On top of the new parking garage, the former play and sport area, had to return. In the former situation the ‘van Beuningenplein’ was hidden from view by cars, fencing and poorly maintained green. By eradicating the cars and other obstructions the fa?ades of the surrounding houses are connected to the square and the square becomes once again part of the neighbourhood.
