Abstract

The project wishes to provide a case study in the way that the natural world can be integrated within the city life. The project site is located in Amsterdam at the island Uilenburg. Where it takes into account the doughnut economics model to create a social and ecological balance in the city. The existing buildings together with the newly designed buildings will continue what the city of Amsterdam started in 1915 when they planned to improve the living conditions of Uilenburg and make a healthier city. The design considers the historical aspect of the Uilenburg and its buildings. By creating a building which is directly into contact with different types of nature with a variety of gardens. A city hotel is designed for young people in transformation from dependence to independence. Creating a place where young people together with their neighbours, plants and trees can flourish.
