Reviled by many, fiercely defended by others: ever since the plans for this ‘city of the future’ were drawn up, Amsterdam Zuidoost has been a subject of discussion. What is beyond dispute is that it is a district with a strong identity of its own, which is reflected in the buildings.
This architectural map of Zuidoost provides an overview of the architecture, with a general index and an index of architects. Explanatory notes on the architecture and urban design sketch a picture of the eventful history of one of the most multicultural and idiosyncratic city districts in the Netherlands.
