Amsterdam is a dream. We were really excited to see fine examples of Dutch architec-
ture in Amsterdam and imagining the excellence of living and keen to experience the
Dutch way of life. As for me Amsterdam is a European economical capital and one of
the crowded city but it was unknown experience & most exciting trip of my life.
A fishing village of 12th century to Amsterdam of 20th century but still keeping the his-
torical part of city. It can be imaginable early Dutch period of growth. UNESCO World
Heritage listed Amsterdam city center as part of Heritage. The canals of Amsterdam
gives amazing view in night streets are crowded specially in red light district, which re-
ally attracts people to Amsterdam center, where as in day time streets are shinning with
cycle riders and boats are moving in every part of city like Venice. If we can imagine the
trading system of Early Dutch culture in Amsterdam city, one can easily convinced with
the system with in.
The City Amsterdam is surrounded with branches of canal where Central Station is ex-
actly located on river bank on the north side of Amsterdam. Route A10 is considerable
ring road of city & internal services are mostly use by trams and undergrounds. Bicycle
riding is very common in center because its fastest and cheapest way of reaching point
A to B. Car parking is considerably high to rest of European cities.
Amsterdam is one of the higher populated region of Europe, with 7 million of population,
where it self has no place to grow further, and social housing problems are increas-
ing day by day that some people have to wait even 7 years to get a house from Social
housing companies.
As part of housing research we had visited several parts of Amsterdam such as South
Amsterdam, ijburg, ijplein ( North Amsterdam ), Westreos, Spaarndammerbuurt and
Houthaven ( site ).

Spaarndammerbuurt a. The city Amsterdam’s architecture couldn’t have developed as it did without certain earlier political changes. In 1901, members of the liberal government succeeded in passing the First Housing Act.
b. The Spaarndammerbuurt is for a working class district in the northwesterly edge of amsterdam. It was rather isolated from the rest of the city and has been retained its architectural unity. Micheal De Klerk designed three blocks in Spaarndammerbuurt and style was known as `Amsterdam School’
De Woningwet 1901 telde 10 paragrafen:1. Voorschriften van aan woningen te stellen eisen2. Aangifte omtrent het aantal bewoners3. Verbetering van woningen en tegengaan van overbewoning4.

Spaarndammerbuurt was North-west extention of Amsterdam in early 20th century due to extensive harbour workers are settling down in city. people from small villages of The Netherlands travelled to Amsterdam for better jobs and living. after extensive poppulation to Amsterdam the situation of Health and Housing was very poor. In early 20th century the city implement First Health Act and later First Housing Act, Spaarndam-merbuurt is one of the example of First Housing Act.Spaarndammerbuurt was design by famous Dutch architect De Klerk. This area was developed for low middle class small family houses who came to city from small towns of country. De Klerk planned the area with both enviorment of inside and outside public spaces. In Spaarndammerbuurt, De Klerk also planned double ring structure. Double Ring Block was works as public spaces in between the building block. De Klerk also planned this area height not more then 5 �oor from the road side and 2/3 �oors from innersides with red brick block facades. thats makes in part of amsterdam very calm and gentle.

Early 20th century development in Amsterdam. it was located on the North-West side of Amsterdam for Harbour Labours .
No of Houses : 452 Density : 166 wo/ Ha. Average Block size : 110 x 240Spaarndammerbuurt is not far from City Center as well as its also not far from coastal line. so it was best location for the Labour workers to live and work together. Spaandammerbuurt is very next area to Houthaven.

As considering Spaandammerbuurt transportation system, its is well connected to city center with two main bus lanes 22, 48. both are main bus lines of Amsterdam. where as no 22 was only planned for Spaarndammerbuurt people. where as the main road from city center to ring road is also showing in a yellow colour.
Spaandammerbuurt has one main street with alot of co�ee shops , health center, kindergarten, bar ,resturants etc which makes that street very lively and active. As there is no main tra�c is crossing that street except bus 22. that makes street more safe and full of people.
Parking seems to be the main problem for people living in spaandammerbuurt. as on our personal measurements we can guess that there are 1 car parking per unit. As housing units are very small comparing to parking area. This area doesnt have parking facility even not in buildings . we can Imagine that this area was built early car age so the architect might didnt consider for middle class people to a�ord this expensive machines.
The above mentioned Sunlight study for spaandammerbuurt is considering for the month of October. it shows that most of the area in early day is very bright and accessable to sun. but in the evening few streets are shaded but internal semi Public courtyards are still useable for social activities.

Existing site includes temporal structures for student living and currently in use
Site also include empty spaces, where locals are using it for informal purpose.
Houthaven is located at North-West
of Amsterdam, exactly on IJ bank. It
is neighbour quarter to Spaarndam-
merbuurt which itself famous old
part of Amsterdam. The conditions of
this area is not so good but people
liked that neighbourhood because its
lively.
Houthaven has both land and water
values, where more than 40% of the
area is land. Houthaven is currently
functioning in many ways, majorly
in student housing, School, Gymna-
sium, Storage, Living boats, Beach
activities, Bar, Restaurant, and many
other informal Activities
Houthaven is 10 min away from City
Center by bus, 15 min by Cycle , and
5 min by Car. Houthaven also con-
nects the fairy route line linked to
Northern Amsterdam. Houthaven is
also linked to ring road by 5- 10 min

Design is not a product of delivery, It is a process
Creating oppertunities instead of creating Beauty
Dealing with mixed society leads to mixed design
Through Public space to Pluralism and Integration
Vibrant Living
Final Product was never our priority, As an Ar-chitect we were always looking for a process of design and maximum use of functions and facili-ties as currently available for instant Houthaven existing function are very few but a attractive to use and possible improvable. Current activities can bring us to a housing solution for new quar-ter in Houthaven so we consider a slow develop-ment at site but maximum use at most of time, we consider the area is mix use and mixed func-tions, we consider Houthaven is lively, diverse and flexible, we also considering other non hous-ing functions parallel use and acting vice versa at different time of day.

The Open Building
1961. The Transformation from CentralizedCity into Linear City as in Kenzo Tange’s Project where communities and smaller towns would settle along a main axis appears as a very obvious and useful solution for Tokyo
The Spontaneous CityThe Spontaneous City is dealt by its inhabitants, in a never ending process of transformation and adaptation indivduals and groups, in-cluding both residents and business people, re-use and re organized space in a apartment block, work places, Parks and streets
1974- The project is set up an urban tissue in which building form courtyards from where access to houses is given, because House units have been designed by users , no two floor plans are alike as can be seen as the documentary drawing made after completion of Project
The Plug-in CityPlug-in city as a mega structure with no building just a massive framework intor which dwelling in the form of cells or standardised componenets could be slotted. The machine had taken over and people. where the raw material being pro-cessed, the difference being that people are meant to enjoy the experience.
The Metal Cabin Housing was a prototype in the sense that it placed removable house elements intor megastructure of concrete

Evolution
Building up the process after designing is also a considerable task. Which definably includes a period of time, this period of time can bring many unfortunate possi-bilities in positive or Negative sense. The building of Master plan for such a big area would cost approximate 7 years of time. Considering positive and negative sides of time, we consider houthaven design in several stages of building up, and divid-ing into temporal and permanent func-tions Such as ;
a. Initializing the project by enhanc-ing the existing functions at houthaven with adding temporal activities e.g. boat-ing, beach activities, camping and park, Cafés and clubs climbing, scatting, dogs playing, informal use
b. Keeping the most use function and building up student housing on the south west quarter of houthaven, and bring up living boat for student allow car parking for surrounding
c. Keeping the area alive by adding some more temporal use buildings such as exhibitions, outdoor market. Building up some houses with peoples own effort and plot sizing the area
d. Initializing Commercial activities by adding Marina club and Hotel with café into IJ river. Meanwhile house can be built as house owner’s requirement
e. Houthaven was always variable and flexible in past. Considering the fact as adding temporal buildings that can al-ways change into public function , com-munity center.

We consider infomal use of site, where all age groups and mutually involved in development, we believe Houthaven is a self built and self sustainable neighbourhood. It was always unlacking from city center to reach to peir of water, in Houthaven people can actually go into water but there found hardly any activity, considering the fact we generate same function as Public places to water.

As in Amsterdam water becomes the important part of city, but its not easily accessable , This public space meets water to join water re-lated activities
Leveling edges will give better view to water. also de�ne cirulations
In Amsterdam Public Spaces are not directly attach to water. Here is first attempt to
involve water with public space

Commerical CornerThis location will be one of the important plac-es for Houthaven, as it is commerical building directly facing to main public area, thats why in this building it will be better to consider indoor public activities, such as Exhibition place,community zone, Restaurant, access to roof.

Housing
Simplex House
Single storey house type:dim 5m x 25ma longitudinal row house and a issue of single story house, due to narrow width of house sufficient daylight illu-mination can only be accomplished by organizing the personal room around the central space, with possible inviting daylight. The interior are interlocked by identical planning. wide lounges and access of light through corridors re-flects wider spaces

Comfortable House
Double storey house type:dim 5m x 25ma dual story longitudinal row house, The room sizes and attached bathroom with flex-iblity of using uper floor, this house design is considered as a comfortable house design. it provide sufficient daylight and wind circu-lation on the both floors even the neighboor-hood is high density. The ground floor is more Semi private space, where upper floor is private space with Balcony aswell.
Luxury Style House
