Amsterdam Allegories

Amsterdam Allegories Amsterdam, The Netherlands. 2018.

Winner of the Prix de Rome Architecture Netherlands 2018

As Amsterdam expands towards the north, following increasing economic and social pressures, Amsterdam Allegories proposes to reimagine the Sixhaven area as an experimental public domain, where to discover and design the identity of the future city. A water filled harbor is inhabited by twenty-one experimental island, which reflect poetically on the city’s identity, on its dreams and obsessions, its desires and idiosyncrasies. The islands are not defined by their program, but by the possibility they offer for human encounters with animals, plants and minerals, and by new opportunities of discovery, action, and adventure. The project is a manifesto to shape a new type of public realm, where leisure becomes, literally, re-creation: an arena for action, rather than passive consumption, a place where new civic rituals may emerge, along new ways of being a citizen, a place where people are no longer seen as users, but as sailors, farmers, collectors, cartographers and explorers. The project won the Prix de Rome Architecture 2018, the most prestigious prize for architects younger then 35 in the Netherlands. Since 2018, it has been on show at Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam, Fellbach Triennial of Small Sculptures, Villa Volten in Amsterdam, CIVA in Bruxelles and it is currently on show at Triennale di Milano.
