Abstract

This project is a design proposal for the Van Gendthallen in Amsterdam. Sports is one function distinctly missing in the eastern part of Amsterdam and which could uniquely make use of the large volumes of the building. Double curved panels made by a flexible mould will be used to create a new roof shell structure, to transform the Van Gendthallen into a multifunctional sports centre.
