Oever (2026)
For the Salvation Army, Bart Lunenburg is developing Oever : a series of wooden wall sculptures based on the idea that buildings carry a memory. In the Red Light District, that memory is layered, built on a wet and unstable foundation that supports the city.
The title refers to the water and marsh on which Amsterdam was founded. Beneath the building lies a quiet undercurrent of care and history, which here converges with the social role of the Salvation Army. In the Red Light District, this work was given a human face by Alida Bosshardt.
In his practice, Lunenburg investigates how architecture functions as a carrier of time, ideology and memory.
