Abstract

This project explores a social housing project from 1979 that is located in the Bijlmer area of Amsterdam and is based upon three main topics; Preservation, Community and Future Proof.
By researching the potential heritage value of the building blocks, conducting specific literature research and by interviewing different stakeholders a transformation is proposed based on the research question; How can the residential area of Hoptille be transformed into sustainable future proof housing complexes, by strengthening the present social community and preserving its architectural values.
