Abstract

To create a direct connection with Amsterdam North and to link the different public nodes, a bridge for slow traffic over the IJ is needed. Hereby a public route is created connecting the public nodes to the other side of the water continuing in Amsterdam North towards the new public node created by the North-South line. The spot where the bridge from the city center intersects with the heritage and qualities of North, a gate is formed by two building blocks creating the new entrance to the district. Here a public space will be introduced connecting the public route to the waterfront. This public building with the surrounding space will form the architectural plot.
