Buildingplan
Our project is about architecture.
We live in Almere in Flevoland and this is one the youngest cities in the Netherlands.
About 100 years ago, the ground where we live at, was the sea.
They started to make it a fertile ground. They made the province Flevoland and the city Almere
Because our city is so young, the architecture is different then the other older cities in the Netherlands. We have a few special buildings here.
The buildings are everywhere in Almere. In the centre, but also between houses and districts.
In our project we are going to show you all some special buildings from Almere.
Our research question is: are the buildings very different than in India?
Interview one
Rene lives in Almere. In 1982, the community made an architecture competition.
You could design yor own house, aslong as it was safe for fire and it would not break.
He won the competition and moved into his own designed house.
In 2004 his neighbours were moving, so they bought the house next door.
Now he lives in one house and his office is in the house next door.
In 2000 he designed the appartement complex ‘The Wave’, a complex next to the city centre.
Interview two
Hello I am Jonne kingma. I’m a architect in different places, one of my designs is Ithaka in Almere poort. My Ithaka is called after the Isle of the king Odysseus. Ithaka means being on your way to you dream destination. This both commercial and residential complex has a big garden with organic swimming pool in the middle (not public of course).In the old sayings Ithaka is a sand castle and that is one of the things that you can recognize in the design. I started photography in 2008, after I bought my first good camera. After that I started making designs and became an architect.
