"The Harvard University Graduate School of Design was pleased to make the seventh award of the Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design to Adriaan Geuze and his Rotterdam-based firm, West 8 urban design & landscape architecture. We honored the firm's Borneo Sporenburg project for its innovative approach to providing high-density, low-rise housing on twin peninsulas in Amsterdam-or in the words of jury chair Rodolfo Machado, for work of "incomparable urban beauty shimmering in Amsterdam's harbor." excerpt from Preface, by Peter Rowe CONTENTS: Preface Peter Rowe Typology Rides Again and Other Pleasant Findings Rodolfo Machado Public Lives Mark Robbins 30-50 Percent Void West 8 High Density--Low Rise Enric Miralles Free Parcels and Quays Distributing the Void Patios, Parking Borneo End Blocks Josep Luis Mateo De Architechtengroep Dick van Gameren, Bjarne Mastenbroek Sporenburg End Blocks UN Studio Office for Metropolitan Architecture Claus en Kaan Neutelings Riedijk Sculptural Blocks Pacman Fountainhead Sphinx Sphinx Garden Infrastructure High Bridge Low Bridge Ornament Short Bridge Acknowledgments Illustration Credits Borneo Sporenburg Master Plan Design The Architects ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Year Published: 2005, Harvard University Graduate School of Design Editor: Rodolfo Machado |
