Contemporary living in Amsterdam exhibits an unusual and fascmatlllg dynamIc.

The collective life�tyle is changing as a result of thc economIc prosperity, the shortage of urban space,

the general necd for mobility, the firmly entrenched ind!vidualism and phenomena such as

working from homc anti flexlhle working. Against this turhulent background,

Formats (or J.it·mg presems a concise picture of comemporary living ln Amsterdam,

with a provocatJve selection of almosr one hundred floor plans designed m the final

decade of the t\ventieth century. The unIform method of drawing has resulted in a lucid collection of plans,

which for all their apparenr sunplicity contain an encrypted cultural code - a format for lIving.

INTRODU CTION i/

There is an infinite variety of ways in which people can live. There is also an infinite variety of floor plans - at least 111 theory, because 1Il practice there is always a lim­ited number of models on \\'hich variations are made. The wishes of the dient (and sometimes the future occupant), the location, the available budget, the regu­lations \\'hich have to be complied with and the ideas of the architect determine which basic floor plan is used and which variation on the chosen rheme. And with the occupant at the bcgin11lng and the architeet ar the end of this chain it is obviolls why the floor plan occupies a speC1al place in architecture. Yet it appears that the criteria on the basis of which a dwelling is Judged to be good arc not so complex. When, at the end of T999, a new award was launched for the best housing sCheme ) in Amsterdam, it was stated that a Tood dwelling has :1 large t oor area, w ic 1 produces an added value with .1 goa arout, as well as a generous storev height and a � large cxtcrior space. In addition, it should be suitahle

for more than one type of household and provide space IL for work functions. .

These criteria tie in with IIlnovarions in dwe1ling in the Netherlands, which in turn are a consequence of new social and economic circumstances. The Dutch

-have become more prosperolIs in recent decades; they l also live longer, marry less and later, have fewer chil­dren and divorce rates are higher. In particular the number of single- and two-person household s has in­

creased over the last thirty years:,. t h c market has changed as a result and continues to change. It is signifi-cant in this tespect that we are heading for a siru ation (Ill 2003) 111 which, for the first time since the Second ) \Vorld War, there wiii be no real housing need in the ( JSetherlands'. From that moment, the market even more tha n is the case a t present -\Vi II di reet its efforts to meeting the reqll1rements of consumers regarding their living situation.

It seemed a good idea in these circumstances to rake a close look ar the housing production in Amsterdam in recent years, especially ar the organization of the indi­vidual dweiiing. The form of a floor plan is of course,

l certainlv in the city, often imposed by the context, and ! "":0 0f!�may say that the..significance of 3 floor plan can

not rea!!v bc explained withQut looking at that context. ln afinost all the publications on the subject, attention is therefore righr!y given to the setting in which the j1uh­lici;.-.ed dwellings arc situated. In this book, by contra st, 3U of the floor plans have been isolated and 111 each case the image answers the question as to what exacdy the individual occupant has when hc or she is at home. This ITlcans that the focus of the discussion is the interior of

_the dwelling and th3t for e3ch dwelling emphasis is }J \ f p.Jaced on irs specific spatial an� organizational prin­.-f!cles. � 'the selection of floor plans presented herc lS based

on the annual surveys of housing schemes published by Amsterdam's Housing Department (Stedelijke WoningdieT1st Amsterdam). Up until 1992, these sur­veys \vere limited [O social housing; since that ye3r, market-sector housing has also been included. And so SIX volum1110LlS books with hundreds of floor plans, cach represented in the hanchvriting of their respective designers, were available at the start of the process.

Six' experts 111 the field of housing were 111vired TO select the floor plans. Three of them, namely the archi­tects Dick van Gameren of Dc Architectengroep and Liesbeth van der Pol, as well as Han .Vlichel, director of the property developer De Principaal, wcre at that time members of A I{C A .\OI

'S advisory committee. The others

are external experts: Ger3rd Anderiesen, director of the Amstcrdamse Federaric van Woningcorporaties (a federation of housing corporations), architect Vera Yanovshtchinsky and Fer Felder, at the time of this pro­ject employed by the housing corporation Het Oosten. They were each 3sked to choose a ) )roximatel fifteen

..ilQor plans from one of the yearbooks and then explain their chOice 111 <ln 111terview with Dave \Vendr. 1t should be noted that Vera Yanovshtchinsky in particular halL rf serious reservations about the fact rhat the context of the dwellings was 1;;;( taken into consideration. Finally, the six experts were 3sked to select three projects from the 1998/99 yearbook in order to give a state of play at the start of the year 2000.

Together with Dick van Gameren, Han Michel, Liesbeth van der Pol and Rumi .Jongeling, a cle;n and international method of drawing was chosen, and Rumi Jongeling then drew all of the floor plans as agreed. In the inrro­ductions by Noud dc Vreeze, director of Stichting \Velstandszorg Noord-Holland, and Marinus Oosren­hrink of Amsterdam's Housing Department, attention is focused respectively on the development ;;Tthe floor plan in �leral and a better understanding of the COll­ce t of the city, of \cyhicb in Ihe final analysis all floor

arranged by year and are in the order in which they appear ln the Housing Department's annual surveys, the visual account is a reflection of the developmenr over the last seven years. If the impression is given that the floor lans have become more com )lex, more

,advenrurous and more baroq.u.q, hur t lat, at the sam5:..­time. d\vel1ings are stil! being buih with extreme1y 'simple floor plans, this could point to dltferences or opinion within trle group of experts, ami also to the growing contrasts in the housing production. _ The_ essence of the social relevance, however, alwa 's lies in thc floor plans themse ves. - Each floor plan is a coilcction of guidelines, bur a good floor lan ives the OCCU)<lnt the o ortunit 'to ecl free and is (hus the representation of a paradox a

Publications about floor plans occup>, an Imponanr place in the history of architecture and housing.

( Cha cs in thc dcmography of household s are reflected in floor plans, an t lev arc t e result o fundarnenta

�onceptions about lifesryles ;1Ild cohabitation. For architects and c1icnrs, thc floor plan is a special design aspect in which practice, conventions and prevailing social conceptions compete with the striving for mod \' ernizat10n and ml1ovat'ion, for adaptation to new

-socio-cu1rural conditions anJ individual architectural and socia-cultural aspirations. ln the Durch housing

--rradlt1on, the government has always concerned itself with the floor plan, via strict and often detailed norms for subsidized housing and via initiatives for research and development, in which government agenC1es ser di fferent socia I priotities in different periods.

.l Quality �There is now a whole set of concepts and notions \vir which the quality of floor plans can be

described. Thus.l a loor lan mUSt bc a taut lucid com· _position of walls ;'Ind rooms.,Wide dwellings are usua -

All of these concepts feature in the many andbooks and guidelines which have been devised in order tO safeguard the qU::lliry of floor pl:U1S in accordance with prevailing conceptions and CO make this quality less dependent on the all too individu::l 1 preferences of designers . In particular in the sector of inexpensive and thus compact dwellings in a complex urban conrext, designers often have tO perform a iuggling act; this calls for considerable skill and experience. The smaller the dweIling as a consequence of the aim of holding down rents and building costs, the more attention the designer must pay tO the dimensions of rooms and thc positioning of doors and windows. Many detailed norms from the past regarding the dimensions and compmition of rooms were thus aimed at guaranteeing

�LOOII. PI.AN"

optimurl1 possibilities as regards layOut and LIse for dwellings with ;] limited floor area by including achievements from the past in the design and produc­tion processes for new dwellings. Moreover, govern­mem interventiom. in the realization of housing were alwa)'s premised on the view thar the free market would not automatically produce a correct differentia­tion according to dwclling types and price ranges.

The extent of the government's influence on floor­plan features in some periods in the past is :lImost in­cOl1ccivablc today. Not only was thc siLe of the various rooms and the narure of the technical facilities pre· sctihed, the plans were also examined W loec whether a dwellingcould be fitted out amI used in a practical and functional way. This government control could in effect always depend on a broad base of support because, on the one hand, many people were of thc opinion that architects lacked the know·how to pro­dLU.-e a sound housing desilln and, on the other hand, the apparatus of government was flexible enough to bc / able to integrate swiftly [he la [est ideas and techniques

Another well-known publication, which many archi­tects dep1uyed in the debate about housing quality, is the book Arbeiderswollinf:eIl ill Nederlalld on Dutch workers' d\vellings, published in 1921 by H.P. Berlage ... A. Keppkr, W. Kromhout and j. Wils. In their explan­atory note the authors placed particular emphasis on .

! the,urbanistic significance of housing in large coherent complexes and they.-fQresaw the need for a greater

\ degree of industrial standardization in order to keep down production costs and to bc able to maintain hi h

'��ty. The book gn'es an i ea of the initial results of the Housing Act: a fe\v dozen splendid garden villages and social housing complexes in more compact urban plot layours, all with picturesque architecture in a care­fully designed urbanistic context. Keppier proud ly writes that 'urbanists come from all over lhe world to look at the products of om young architects'. By now, � all dwellin �s had a separate s ace for the kitchen a most all dwe 111 's lad three bedrooms and there was often a second living room. Within the space o a few years the 'programme' of the middle-class dwelllng had also become the norm for accommodation for lo\\,­income households. However, the other side of the coin had become a manifest political problem. Within a short space of time, central government supporr for hous11lg prOjects in the social rental sector had risen dramatica lly and many people were of the opinion that <1 far more restrained policy on financial support for housing for the \vorking class was urgently needed .

The book by Berlage et al. contai ns some superb examples of what had been achieved in the first two decades after the passing of the Housi ng Act, bur as a

consequence it also became an argument in the piea that curbacks could be made. \X7hat many do not know is that after 1922 there was a drastic reduction in the fi na nci ng a nd su bsidizing of housing. F rom the second half of the t\vcntics there was a prolonged slump in �ocial housing, i n the management of hOLlsing cor­porations and in local city development policy. The clIphoria of the Amsterdam School and the enthusiasm with which many new housing corporations and young :ln:.:hitects had embraced the garden city concept carne [o an end. And so a climate developed in which archi­[Ccts went 111 search of radical means of making house­building more efficient in order to reduce building costs.

\ I\leu) solutions .) ln the thircies, the International Srylt' and the studies by international congresses of the Nieuwe Bouwen in the Netherlands kept the idea alive [hat housingjs a socio cultural task for which ncw

- solutions had to be devised:...The evidence for this can hc fOllnd in several leading Dutch building journals of lhc period.

addressed by the designers have become representative of modern residenrial architecture of the period after the Second World War.

V�tually all of the designs are based on a few prin­ciples on which there appeared to be a consensus. They all have a serial organization in sim e strai ht and identical blocks in open ayou�. The dwellings are identical; different types were kept to a minimum by nor building specific corner dwellings or gateways. This scheme was desi ned to enable housin J to be con­struere according to the rules of industrial mass ro-� duetion. Further an em unc distinction was rna e .

Today, designers can take their own predilections and references as a starting-point when designing hous­ing, unhindered by the strict regulatory norms and pre­scribed typology schemes of the past. In consultation with dients they can present their arguments in support of the floor plans they propose, and the type of household the dwelling is intended for is less and less relevant, as long as the design bas a sort of broad appeal. At the present moment in Amstcrdam's housing production this results in a great diversity of building forms in many different locations, \vith many different floor-plan 1ayouts and ambiences. However, the tradI­tional programme of different types of rooms, room sizes and functions is stili discernible. It would appear that [he greater design freedom, which is undeniably the result of deregulation in public housing policy dur­ing recent decndes, is nor or only marginally impacting on the modernization of the traditional structure of rooms and the households and functions assumed to go with it. ThiS standard structure is evidently still adcquate and desirable on a large scale, because only a few general rules, regarding accessibility for the eiderl}' and the disabled and possibilities for fitting out the dweliing, still apply to the composition of the floor plan, bur even these are no longer very specific or detailed. When designing floor plans, designers and di­en ts are increasingly able to determine their own posi­tion between convention and innovation.

Housing in Amsterdam has always been unique, partly because of the active role played by the government. And it is srill tempring to summarize the caplta!'s hous­ing production in one s\veeping statement as the result of political policy resolutions. Against the background of a long public housing tradition, Amsterdam's views with regard to the blanket term 'housing guality' were laid down in .1-995 in formal guidelines (the so-called l�iciJlfiil1efl KlValiteit \'(1olllngbulfw Amsterdam)" ' l "hese are still essen[ia lly based on a Vision of the func­tional floor plan and the concomitant need to steer (-C ost-qUality ratios. Furthermore, in fhe definition of \ -qllrditv em hasis is laced on flexibilit , and ada ta�il­

If we look at the diversity of hOlIsing �chemes submir� ted in Amsterdam over the past ten }'ears, however, it is clear thar it is an oversimplification to assert that the housing production is the result of municipal policy decisions alone. The qualit}, of Amsrerdam's housing i s also dependent on a complex o f influences which, because of its inrricacy. eludes municipal control. The \\ quality of a dwelling is conne..::red with the qualiry of

_the living environment and of the public space in the

-1n.ullediare neighbourhood. Accesslbl!lty, parking tacil­

.!.Ucs and all manner of amenities, not forgetting employment opportunities in city district, city region and the Randstad, all determine the verdict of con­sumers regarding the qualit)' oflife on offer. This means that the housing production must constanrly respond to a com [ex context of variable factors. Together these actors point a ca( to L1r lan iving in the future, and so

the quality comours for the twenty-first century arc already taking �hape in the currenr hall sing production and the preparations for it. New 3ccents arc visible in recent developments and studies in the field of in­tensive use of space, optimiz3tion of land use and living in Iloise-ridden areas. Furthermore, the individual ) demand for floor space and spatiality withjn the dwelI­ing ls growin$ and there is an increasing emphasis on architectural quality in combination with the cultiva­tion of fhe public realm as a collective value.

Livillg ellvirnl/mellts Amsterdam's urbanistic eve opmcnt ovcr recent decades shows an assortment

of grands ensembles. l n addition, traditional and con­temporary urban renewal is being carried out, water-

N E W l l I R E C T I O S <;

fronlS and periphcral zones are being developed and urban recycling and compaction are [aking pbce. Thi" multiplicity of huilding operations is giving shape to a wide variety of living environmeTlts, each of which. with its plll� points and drawbacks, has an impact on the quality of life. Traditional urban renewal in thc nine[ccnth-ccmury ring wirh irs high housing density benefits from the proxllniry of high-quality facilities, but is often <;ril l encumbcred by the limited quality of the puhlic space and the imbalance i n the compo�itiOIl of the population. However, because more and more dwellings arc being builr in the inexpensive and middle segment of thc owner-occupicd ma rket, th is sitll:1 tion is gradually changing. Contcmporary urban renewal, in parricular in the Bijlmcnneer in Arnsrt'rclarn-Zuidoost, has a very different character. Here, parciaI dcmolitioll ,lIld new-build are resulting in a resolute transforTna­lion of the one-sided living environment and a new and compact model of che 'radiant garden city'. There arc fe\V comparable situations in other European cities where spacial and social renewal is resulting in such a drastic transformation as here. The redevelopment of bOlh infrastructure and blocks of flats in the Bijlmermeer is quite unique, certainly in combination with the striving for forms of social renewal and new employment.

ln the former docklands arca Oostclijk Havcn* gcbied, a catalogue of living environments and dwelI­ing programmes is becoming visible. The development (Ill K N <; I\\-eiland is almost a classICal composition in which the urban volumes arc arranged as :1utonomou� <,culptural objects along a monumental cemral axis.

The devciopmcnt on Java-ciland, however, is charac­terized hy a hiemrchy of fa�ade fronrages, canal houses and inner gardens, with emphasis on differentiatioll according to dwcl1ing programme, dwclling type and architecture in sll1al1 units. On the islands I�orneo and Sporenburg this series of living environment differenti­atioIl has been taken a step further. Here, the 'sea of houses' consists of a closciy-woven carpet of individual low-risc and as such represents an extreme form of sus­tainable high-density urhan development, with streets and al lc)'ways of waTer and Stone. Suburban living in the ciry is represented primarily br extensive residentia I areas like Niellw Slmen and De Aker: large, continuous low-risc areaS, aniculated by mediu m-nsc and high­rise in concenrr�Hed units.

Rcdcvclopment areas within thc eXisting city form a special c:ltegorr. For eX:lI11ple, the G W I. site (a former site for drinking-water distrihution which has been given .. l residenrial function) has beeTl developed as an urban enclave with its own characteristics and ground­based dwelling types anu is related to a p:lrriclliar interpretation of susrainable urbanity: a high housing density with a grcen character. The Oos[Oever hOlIsing project, 011 the sire of a former sewage treatment plant, is similar in a way: a combination of low-rise and sracked dcvclopmcl1f on tht, shores of SImerplas. There are, thus, many types of living environment, combined with as many dwelling types and building types. This qua litari vc di fferentiation ar various lcvels of scale is of great importance.

This distinctiveness is rein­forced hy other urbanistic and architectural expres­sions, which discngage themselves from the existing city.

The most visible and srriking phenomenon in the recent houslIlg produ<:rion is that o 'rowers'. One look at .

I f we look at rhe number o f rooms per dwelling, we see that in the most recent rudm:tion dwellings with three rooms redominare in ;111 cate ones. n the me ium­priced rental sector, three-room dwellings comprised 84 per CCIlI of the production in 1 997, compared rc 34 per cent in 1 992. In thc social rental sector, the pro­ponion of dwell ings with three rooms \Vas 57 per cent in 1997. comp:lred to 44 per C(,IH in 19H9. By conrrast, there has been a considerable decrease in the propor­tioTl of dwellings with lour rooms: in the social rental sector there was a decrease from 3 4 per cent to 2. 5 per ccm, and a decn:ase from 48 per ccm to .l8 pcr ccm in the middle price range in rhe owner-occupied sector.

l n the case of the more extreme dwclling types, devciopments arc lllore irregular: in the social rental secror rhere was a decrease in the proportion of small one- and rwo-rOOI11 dwel lings from 20 pn cent to 4 per cern, whereas, by Con[raSt, rhere was an rncrease in the proportion of large five- and six-room dwellings from 2. per ccm ro 1 4 per cent.

dwclling are subordinated t o the pursuit of coherence and unity, giving rise to a dichotomy between the increasing rcfinement and differentiation of interior dwelling and the more universal quality of the exterior architecture.

This paradox is illustrated by the recent new devel­opment in Oosterparkbuurt in Amsterdam-Oost. The severe and wilful architecture here has been strongly influenced by the city-image plan, which is prernised on the cultivation of nineteenth-century features. Th� dwellings behind the ut1lform screen of the fac;ade, howev't':'r, are characterized by a great diverSIty which IS sca""f"CelV(Jišcernlble in the fai\ades. Something similar is true in many of thc plans for Borneo and Sporenburg, where the restrained front clevariol1S revcal little of the complex spatial dwelling structure behind. Both examples show a division bet\veen the quality of the exterior as the boundary of the public living room of the street and the quality of the interior as the laby­rimhine cocoon of the individual household.

H ··bridizatlOl/ · here is a marked tendency in many o the plans towards mixing different dwclling types within small complexes and buildings.

The plans for ground­acc('ssed dwellings ;llso havc this Illix of typologies, panicubr1y when rhey arc interw()vcn with a complex sl;l.cking of maisonenes and flato;;. Thc typolog)' of building and dwelling in such cases i,!o no longer unam­biguous, bur r;:nher Illultifariuus :1nd enigm:1tic, in short hybrid. The insouciant Tll ixing of principles and types results in ambiguity regarding the identity of the building and dwelling t)'pe. One could conclude that in man)' schcmes [here is no longer a cntegorical clarir\', -;;either urhanisricallv and archirccrurallv, nor typo­logically.

A comparable rendenev towards h bridizatioll is becoming al' )arCI11 on h sca e o . dwellin ' itself. The dwclling with 'unique' spatial qualities is

rii:ed highly by the market-orienr�Hcd housing con­sumer, who is willing to pay a high pricc for ir. The emphasis on spatiality has perhaps been taken a little toO far, because the ' I iberacion of rhe floor plan' from rhe strait-jackct of the cost-qu:lliry test has resulted in tbc <:ultivation of sparial dwellings whose practical value is underdeveloped.

Thc grs.;!.tcr the floor area within the dwellings...!hc greater the emphasis in the floor phln on the sizc and dimensions of thc main living room, and this is of!S.l1 combined with a rcbrivelv small open kitchen. In only a fcw of the projccts is the living room articulared in slIch a wa}' thar there is a clearly defined din m ' arca.

In the case of the mais­onetres, a lot of the floor space is faken up by circula­tion space. The flars look more artrnctivt' because they are wide. Pcrhaps the architects opted for a maisoncrrc floor plan in order to provide the building 's far.,:ade with n ,ro\\'n.

Thc floor plan for a dwelling in Vroliksrraar by Duinker. Van der Torre shows how i( rea lly should hl' done.

First of all : the book by the ciry's housing deparrment with thc floor plans produced in T993 wgs very disap­poinring and [ found ir difficult to select a reasonable number of plans. I would also ilke to make clear at the outStt that I loaked at the qua li ty of the housing scheme I as a whole when making myselectiQP. All of thc floor pT.1T1S in a building project must he of a high standard 1 11 Illy view; 1'01 nor interested in one h igh-quali ty floor plan in an otherwise I1lferior scheme.

Sometimes the nature of an urban design scheme c;:dl s for great cn:arivity on thc part of thc designer when designing a dwelling w ithin thar scheme. Many architects on Java-eiland, for example, have not been successful; every inch of space has been utilized, but Ihis has not Geen articuIar l ' roductive. Evidentl\', the stl1nu us of a difficult site does not always guarantee successful solutions. Furthermore, there arc fe\\' if an)' flexible floor plans i n the book. I suspect this has to do with the brief, whICh usually limits itself to essential s

for ecol1ol11Y's sake. Consequenrly, there is seldoJ1l dut overmeasure which can automatically result in flexibil­ity. I did, however, sec some plans with interesting spa-

� tial (onnections, su that the dwellings arc suitable for different modes of living, nor just the traditional aver­

What I like about the floor plan by Cccs Nagelkerkc for WOllen 2.ooQ..is thar rhere arc entrances on two floors, \ so rhat both floors can he used more or less inde end-

Soerers' floor plans for .Java;eiland arc a remarbblc piece of jigsaw work, which has resulted in some sllperb dwell ings. The separate >rorey<; within the dwellin s are rotared in relation to cach other so thar yu c n I . e use () the uli width and dc rh of the dwelling at the same time. ere, t le cntlre uilding has

- bc;n well thoughr our, 'and that is quitc unusual. The floor plan by Kees Christi:l:lllse for Java-eiland is, as regards spatial organization, a beautiful studio dwcll­ing. Herc too, the fact that high-qu:llity fluor plans h:lVe been prodllced in difficult ci rcumstances is ilO mean achievement. The shape of Ihe plot had already been fixed when the architects began their work .

ln 10;1 ' dee ) floor lans it is sometimes difficu)r to 1110ve from the front to (hc rear secI ion, ut in t lC a\vellings hy Cruz & Orriz for Java-cilan"d. this pl"Oblcm has been ingcl1lously so)vcd.

Residence 't Wardcrschip by Jan Brol1wcr, on t le or cr hand, is refreshingi\' simple . Perhaps little credit will bc ga ineJ' for it, but the wholč is neverrheless of a quality one seldom sees. This quality is also due tu the lucid lay­Olit of the hallsing block as a whole.

roming. The connection between the living room and rhe garage is interesting; the stajrway is srunning and not dominant. Thc programme is not complex; indecd, therc is only one bedroom in rhe villa and, cmiollsl}" rhere is no g:udcn. The entire programme is situared inside (he building; rhe g:lragc is in [hc baserncnt. The villa can he compared with the small dwclling designed by Ferma Oorthuys. I like this scheme because of the ingeniolIs floor plan. The vertical circulation is clearly visible because of rhe sraircase and the void connected

..!2 it, but it does !lQt domina rc the space. As in the villa by Metropolis I l l, herc roo, the staircast" is a srructur­ing e]emem in the dwclling. Tht' d ifference in level between the low and the high section of rhe dwelling is interesting.

The dwellings by Geurst & Schulze for Dc Aker arc four Single-family dwellings. The floor plans arc not specracu1ar bur they h:lve been wcll

cl10ughr out, with -as a resuh 1U\.:idJy organized dwellings. There i� also a

certain overmeasure JT1 the design; see, for CX.llllplc, th,e )argc rerq�c. Ir gIves a degree of fJcxlhrhty which, regrerrably, ont· seldom sees in floor plan.!.. This qualiry has been illlroduced on the designers' initiative, because Ihere are ,>carcel}' :lny speci:ll circumstances here which could have bcen used as a sf:lning-poinr in thc design.

"""'challenging ro louk ar a single component of housing. For mc, there arc several criteria.

The project by Tjaarda Mces in Spinozastraat has :1!l.inrcrcsting floor plan, partly because an unusual . )ro mmmc has been realized in cooperation with a pri­v:1te c icnr. t ls a stll io (\Vcl ingon a slig t y morespa­

ln the housing production for T996/97. (he cm hasis Jlnfortunatcly, IS on rather cramped three-room dwell­ings. I think it is important to build more spacious �cll ings. ln the ei 'hties, many new dwclling types

l wc rc designed with smaller floor plans, organize , or ""example, a round the sanitar co . And there are also

_ larger OllSC o ds wah children who would like to stay in the city. There arc nOt enough dwellings available for these groups.

Leafing through the hook by the city's housing department, I gradually shifred the emphasis from spa­ciousness to s atiality in III st::Icction of floor )Ians. � Peo le need a sli ' t ' i 'er place to live, bur thcy also nee the experience of space. II yet many dwell ings <tre cramme WIC Itt e rooms and hallways which destroy any sense of space. ,So the price rise of recent

-years is scareely reflected in the qU;lliry of housing. Developments get hogged down in a now ourmoded genre, namely thar of social housing. In the ni11<..'(i(s, in

l L3

Page 63: Formats for living.pdf

thc field of archilc(.'wrc and urban planning there was enormOll$ progress in many respects and budgetary freedom increased, �lI1d yet thc quality. of floor plans hasdiminishcd.

I'her(' arc of course exceptions. S1,!fh a superh ex[er�

1{ lor space as in ( l . or bu b ' Mecanoo for Brouwcrs­grac II can rc lace rt garden. Ir is part icularly an advant­age if, :lS lere, r lete IS a dose con nection with tbc dwelling. The floor bil is moreover very flexible, very

. anrawvc indee . 't Mag-cr-zijn, a rc eve opment pro­ject hy C A S A ArchilccrCI1 , is full Qf surprising spa ces. _ Some of them acc very high and have a nlCZZ:ll1lne. I he interior COnt7l1!lS an assortment of spaces and yet ir is clearly orgnnized. ln thc dwellings on the ground floor the rc is rt paSS:lgcW;lY which leads directly to rhe public are:l outside.

ln Bob van Rccrh's floor plan for the Vinkhoek, hOllsing for the elderly in thc social rental sector, there are man s XKCS which C;ln bc interconnected by mea lS of oors ,md sliding wa s. _hc spaces, including a sun �oom, imerpenclrarc in a ·pleasing way. ln the floor plan by Reinder Nw.1 for Knooppunt. V.·UiOllS spaces are intcn:onnectcd by means of voids ;;; the front and rcar ( of Ihe dwelling. 1..his is a relaxed floor pbn which callJ o lind a loh dwclling. The occll ant has I slderable

freedom of choice in l"Ciding ow to use the space. Dc Vrolike bk by M 3 1 1 works very well spatially. The fI

-oor plan is pleasingly simple and convenienrly organized, the halls are reasonably spacious. The sliding doors to the balcony on thc upper floor are a pleasant luxury

t and another plus point is that you enter as it were from the buck, via the kirchen.

I .!.4 ft

The floor pian by Boparai for Krijn l\reursrraat is spacious. hur it would have been berter if there had been more doors to thc baleony and if part of the wall between the living room and the adjacent room had b("cn a sliding wall. This floor plan is quirc good, hur ::a few itHcrvenrions would make ir more pleasant lO live in. A plus poinr of the floor plan by Buijs & Pcterse for De Ivi::ammoet is that it is so flexible. If so desired, by removing rlle wal1 6erween the two aajacent bed rooms • a vcry large space can be crcated. The inblli1r loggia, morcover, ;-tdds a lot more qualit}' than a halcony on the f::a�'J(le.

The hOllsing produttion for T9961':J7 includes many plans for 13orneo-Sporenburg, t\\-"o peninsulas in Oosrcl iik I-Iavcngebied. Hcrc, new dwelling types \Vcrc expcrimcnrcd with, which is very cxciting because the rcsulrs arc ofren of a high quality. The floor plan h>, Bnrie .\1irallcs for housing on Borneo-eiland is very dif­fČrcl1I trom what wc are L1sed to and so will nor ::appeal

-ro cver 'onc. Thc layout is not only very spa cio us - scc t e ang e which creates a surprising visual effccr - it � also r('suhs in a great many "Mied "residual s aces', whic l can e put to a sorts of uses. Thc roof lerraC(' in the floor plan by Cbus & Kaan for housing 011 Sporenburg is of course very pleasanr, because despite the hi ,h hOLI sing density, the occupanr here has private extcrior space. e we mg IS rea )' a 1'::atIO unga ow

ln the IllIddle of the city. The adjoining roOIllS de::arly acq u i rc extra quality because of rhe patio.

The design b)' Meyer & Van Scho()[en for De Vlag­gen has a very long loggia onro which fOlJr rooms open Olit. Unforrunan:ly, however, herc too therc arc not

U5

Page 64: Formats for living.pdf

1 ,),) 61')7

enough doors so that you can't make good use of the loggia from al l the rooms. Thar i s a pity because the dwclling itself is very simple: ir's the loggia rhal makes ir exciting. In the noor plan by Marlies Rohmer for Dl'

Vlaggen, by COnfraSI, you can circulate frecly. Herc, there is a good relationship with rhe exrerior space, The unusual choice of forms is nor only i mport:l1lr for the archirecrural expression, but il also makes the dwellings spatially more inreresting. Baneke, Van der Hocvcn designed a floor plan for Koningin \X/ilhel· minaplein with a lor of more or less open space which can he subdivided as required, a sizeable loggia and a large hall. Unfonunatcly however, this, too, is a three· room dwclling.

An importani poim is that there are not enough exciting six-room dwellings. The urban family with children W�lS neglccted for many years; everyone assumed rhar th is group would find accommodation outside the ciry. Duni income families with children also need a lot of space, because as well as bedrooms for the children, thcy usually need one or two srudies. Funhermore, individualiznrion may well result in an l increase in single·pcrson households, hUl il will never he [he case that this group will not wam relationships with others. . l ' in·lc is not a ermanenr Sla[uS' there is conswnr change, w lieh is also why we need

,. sjx1Ciolls and nexihle dwellings. Four rooms instead o[ threc; rhat would bc a considerable i mprovement. �" thirries dwellings, with lots of movable com­ponents, are ideal.

,\n important aspect in my view is the way the user 1 l 10V�HO\lgh a d\Vclling. Thc dwelling should be air}' ,1I\d s aCIDUS so fliiit YOLl can move afound freely in it.

:lny o t lC oor p a!lS lave c losen s ow a strong ordering ability. l rhink it is a very fine collection from which l can draw itlspirarionj these are fOf the most P,lrt good solutions, which I find fascinating and srimu­I.lting. Generally speaking, though, all of thc spaces arc 100 small. t\'loreover, there is not a single, really spa­Cl()US carcass dwclling.

The design by Herder & Van der Neut for Nieuwe k.erksrraat is really a tyrant dwelling, but herc ir has hccn superbly worked oU(. It is a real architects' design;

)tou ean scaredy fir a ClIpboard or a three-piece suite in without spoiling the dweIling. The sem!aliry is limited_ IlIId fragile, hciDg dependent on the long wal l. Thar is ®y I Jill an oppol1(::nr of dwellings with a core in the 1 1 1 1ddle. Is it nor based on an idćc fixe and isn't it often lIluch better to place thc core against one of thc walls?

I ll.:)' often overlook the pr.tetical and experiential

\ . 1 Il le and forget how important ir is for members of rhc 11IHI,ehold to have contrH.:r with cach other i n the dwcll I llg. The tloor plan of the dwellings in Willemsstraat b} l{einJer :'-Just is an example of how ir should be donc.

There arc o cour Ille spacious floor plans. The de,ign for Tweede Leliedwarsstraaf b}' Kerssen Lijber� i' .1 complete house and nice and wide. And who is nOI 'l1rprised when they see the floor plan of the vil la b� O I J l in an inner court on Plantage Muidcrgrachr? Thl' vili., io; superbly organized . It is no eas}' task to produce .\ �o()d design when there are ample resources avail­.lhle. rv1an}, architects gCt it wrong then. The design Ln Cl.ws & Ka;lIl for the Kalenderpanden is really bi�. Evcrything has been taurly organized around tilt" entrancc. Ir is a pity that this large dwclling is a renova tion project, not a trend-setting new-build project.

Rob Krier's design for thc Meander is md� P:llladian, although the livi ng room is really a hall. Thh IIlt('rpretatiotl is superb. Ir is an interesting floor plan.

parrly because of the queer angles. It is clearly the work of a foreigncr, because wc Dutch don 't have the nerve tO position a wall obliquel}'. The de.!.ign b}' '� for the water dwellings in De Aker is fl very old-fa sl ' e

a�e, svery'!"hin�its pla�. I�ct. it IS rl n.ine. teenth-cemurv floor bn, simplified, well orgamzed a n anractive; it radiat ui.ility.

e oor p an o the dwellings hy Jianho Kwa for [he WG site has to be scen wgether with (he double height. We ought ro do OUf best to produce more of this type, bur ir is made difficult for us, partly because of the regulations. This design is a cU[ above many other dwellings 'lS n:g;1rds spatiality and sltnpliClty. Hats off! I also like the"'prolect b�nbeek & Van Veen i n Tweede Oostcrparkstraat. This, too, is organized around an opell space, giving rise to a host..Df diagonal s ariai ;1nd functional connections. And what's more, il is fitte into fl strict 'arc lItecturai' order. This floor plan is a delight for architects and occupants.

Rudy Uytenhaak's work is remarkahI}' inconsislenr. ln Ihe floor plan for Serva es Nourstraat, the spaciou.!. hall provides a digl1ified reception; this is a dwelling yOIl reall}' can rerurn to proudl}'. The man}' doors make

cxeiting sp'Hial connections possible. However, when 1 look at Uytenhaak 's floor plan for Feike de Boerlaan, l really think he should go on holiday. The rouring throligh the dwelling is a toftUOUS Circuit i n rhe dark. Vou h:lVe to pass through a �ort of broom cupboard if ) 011 wam to go upstairs. And ar (he top of [he stair� }'OU walk straight into a blind wall. Everything is �mall ;lIld l'nt1osed; this is si !ll pl}' no good.

Pcrhaps it is pardy due to the urban design scl1l"1 I 1 < Jkc:wse i f that forces }'ou to design floor pJans in wb" J I people have to enter their horne v ia a space meaSlIII l i j', one metre square, then something's wrong.

\

Bc<:aL1se there arc angles in the floor plan you call t i t your cupboards in withol1t spoiling the intended "1', 1 tia l effect. Thc dimcnsions of thc section where )U I I enter the dwelling arc again far toO small, bur hen' \hl\ is compensated for by (he enormous space elsewhcH' III the dwelling.

The floor plan by Hohne & Rapp for Borneo h, 1\ cxtreme dimensions ;:md yet is has considerable tr,111 quiI1it}'. The staircase is large, and a tre:l( awa its rOli I I you go ups(:lirs. This i s really superb, a classic, a fir�1 class design. It has a marvcUol1s sense of spaciol1�m'�� together with a strict and ordcrl)I layout.

The dwelling type with central corridor in thl' B::lravia project by de Architekten Cie. h::ls a simple lay­out but provides considerable flcxibiliry as regards use. If the short section 011 thc corridor is used as a bedroom, the long srorey is then completely free for othcr func· tinns. rH!.!1

The project Baravia by de Archirekten Cic. is :1 varian! on {he corridor type. Thc diversity of floor pbns within the building is greater than is usual with this ::lccess s),stem and attenrion has ::lIl>o been given ro

The corner dwelling ill thc Rotonde project by archi­rect Franz Demblin is more or less a combination of the Tropenpum and the Water"l.uiveringsrrommel.

l n the renovation project for Lederambadltstraat by Van Sch::lgcn Architecren, dwellings have been joined together in an exempbry m::lnner. Given rhe situation in the block in Osdorp, rhis is an optimum result which has produced a very comfort::lble large dwelling. IGAJ

ln the project for Dc Aker hy Wing<.'nder Hovcnier an ingeniaus solution has been found for a familiar problem, namely how ro accommodate a complete dwelling programme and storage spaccs within a lim­ited module. Because the storage spaces here have been placed ::llrernateiy at thc front and the rear of thc block, thc dIstinction between front and back has been down­played in conformity with rhc programme. jvv ] r The floor plan by Van Gameren & Mastcnbroek for the Watcrzuiveringstrommci, designed for the interior r l of a former sewage purification pbm, is quite ::lmazing!

The project by Lafour & \XIijk for Park De Meer is one of the few examples from '998-99 i n which differ­entiation has been sought in an open location.
