Similarities of the IJ site and our site
The site has on one side a water stream and opens on an onther side to water.
IJ Plein Urban Planning
IJ Plein Urban Planning, School and Gymnasium, Netherlands, Amsterdam, 1988
OMA Office
The IJ Plein project is a master plan and architecture project for a large social housing project in Amsterdam.
The intervention of OMA for the IJ-Plein site is twofold, urbanistic and architectonic.
The urbanistic plan gives the precise location and envelope of all buildings and the lay-out of all public space. This plan is the basis for OMA’s supervision over the design of seven housing projects, done by 6 architects, among whom OMA.
The brief required an explicit visual relationship with the IJ-river and with the historic center of Amsterdam on the opposite riverbank. The urbanistic plan proposes an open plan of parallel slabs of different height and form, and a triangular lawn.
The western part is of three rows of urban villas (towers with four dwellings on each level) and two slabs, with dwellings accessible by a street in the air or central stairs. The eastern part is dominated by parallel slabs of different height.
Within this urbanistic plan OMA has designed a number of buildings. A long slab over a podium (that serves as dyke and bicycle storage), on pilots, leaving an open space with pavilions: four shops in ovals and one in a triangle, a communal center in a second triangle and lobbies. The slab contains dwellings of 2 or 3 rooms on a gallery, dwellings accessible by staircases and dwellings accessible by stairs — sky lit — cutting diagonally through the section of the building, which creates a lay-out that shifts at each level.
A shorter slab contains two-story maisonnettes of 4 or 5 rooms and a collective housing unit for disabled people. In the maisonnettes the (upper) bedroom level is diagonally above the living room level.
The school is a primary school with eight classrooms and a gym. As a consequence of the open plan the architects proposed for the neighborhood, the school is split into two small multi-story slabs.
I chose to present this project because first of all I like the OMA Office and the projects they develop and secondly because I believe there are some similarities between the site in IJ Plein project and our project’s site.
Both are very close to water so we can learn from the OMA project how to create a relationship with the water site.
