El plan director trazado por OMA establece una batería de intervenciones, edificios residenciales, edificios públicos, aparcamien- tos, espacios públicos y una serie de funciones adicionales que generan un nuevo paisaje dentro del contexto urbano. El diseño se basa en el modelo de campus universitario, como disparador para generar una vida urbana abierta. Esto se debe a las condiciones particulares del sitio: un espacio vacío en el centro de la compacta ciudad de Breda, pero que también forma parte de un bolsón verde que sirve de recueste a la ciudad y que está definido por tres parques: el parque de Deportes, el parque Wilhemina y el parque Brabant. El espacio verde funciona como unificador de los diversos edificios que se erigen espaciados en el sitio. Además del plan, OMA proyecto uno de los bloques de viviendas y el aparcamiento. Este conjunto se resuelve mediante un borde de manzana macizo, que se conforma a partir del encastre y apilamiento de tres bloques, donde se desarrollan las viviendas y un volumen central vacío.

  • The Urban and Cultural Climate of Rotterdam Changed Radically Between 1970 and 2000. Opinions Differ About What the Most Importa
    The urban and cultural climate of Rotterdam changed radically between 1970 and 2000. Opinions differ about what the most important changes were, and when they occurred. Imagine a Metropolis shows that it was first and foremost a new perspective on Rotterdam that stimulated the development of the city during this period. If the Rotterdam of 1970 was still a city with an identity crisis that wanted to be small rather than large and cosy rather than commercial, by 2000 Rotterdam had the image of the most metropolitan of all Dutch cities. Artists and other cultural practitioners – a group these days termed the ‘creative class’ – were the first to advance this metropolitan vision, thereby paving the way for the New Rotterdam that would begin to take concrete shape at the end of the 1980s. Imagine a Metropolis goes on to show that this New Rotterdam is returning to its nineteenth-century identity and the developments of the inter-war years and the period of post-war reconstruction.

Pellenbarg Opleiding: Economische geografie 2 -2- Voorwoord Voor u ligt het onderzoek dat ik gedaan heb ter afronding van de masteropleiding Economische Geografie aan de RijksUniversiteit te Groningen. In een paar zinnen voorafgaande aan het werkelijke onderzoek wil ik graag alle mensen in mijn omgeving bedanken voor hun bijdrage, hulp en steun. In het bijzonder wil ik mijn vader bedanken voor zijn op- en aanmerkingen die mij vaak verder hielpen in het schrijfproces. Daarnaast wil ik Prof. Dr. P.H. Pellenbarg bedanken die mij begeleid heeft bij het schrijven van mijn masterthesis. Verder wil ik Dhr. A. Edzes bedanken voor het vervullen van de taak als tweede begeleider. Natuurlijk zijn ook vrienden en andere familieleden onmisbaar geweest bij het tot stand komen van dit eindproduct. Rinse Gorter, 10 juli 2008 3 -3- Abstract This thesis, written in the finalizing stage of the master’s degree in Economic Geography at the RijksUniversiteit Groningen, is about high-rise buildings in the Netherlands. The title ‘Hoogbouw in de Ruimte’ would literally be translated in English as ‘High-rise buildings in Space’ but (because mankind is still not able to build on the moon) should be read as ‘high- rise buildings and their environment’. High-rise buildings in the Netherlands are starting to play an increased role in Dutch municipal policy. Because of the lack in national high rise building policy, most of the major cities have developed their own policy on skyscrapers. When we look at the history of the skyscraper in the Netherlands, there has been a shift from public development before the 1980’s to private development after 1990.

  • Hoogbouwbeleid Lessen Tien Hoogbouw? Waarom De Discussie
    ONDER DE BOMEN HOLLANDSE STAD - Ambities van de stad - Een studie naar Nederlandse hoogbouwcultuur In Nederland zijn hoge gebouwen steeds vaker onderwerp van discussie. De afgelopen jaren worden gestaag steeds meer hoogbouwprojecten gerealiseerd. Soms vanuit een duidelijke wens in de stad, maar net zo vaak zonder stedelijk doel. Veel gemeentes zijn op zoek naar een rode draad en de meerwaarde van hoogbouw voor hun stad. Wat is goede hoogbouw en wat kan het betekenen? Deze publicatie bekijkt het Nederlandse hoogbouwlandschap anno 2008. Wat kan hoogbouw betekenen voor de stad? Welke HOOG aspecten verdienen meer aandacht bij de realisatie van een toren? Wat zijn essentiële randvoorwaarden voor een geslaagd project? En wat is de rol en het belang van de gemeente, architect, ontwikkelaar, belegger en burger in het complexe speelveld van hoogbouw in een overlegcultuur?
