The project “the new urban community” is located at the Groenmarkt kade, situated along the Amsterdam Canal District. Although its prominent location (adjacent to the waterfront within the city center of Amsterdam), the site presents itself as being disconnected/detached, due to its enclosure by the monumental Marnix blocks and the waterfront. The enclosed-ness and introverted appearance of the site, are the fundamental conditions for the design intention. Which is the creation or stimulation of a community driven architecture, which finds its embeddedness within the neighbourhood through its small-scale, fragmented high-density appearance. Whereby the dwelling scheme/typology gives or generates compensational semi-public/communal spaces for interaction and identity.
