Floating artwork
Scattered throughout the medieval city center this summer, during the Triennial, thirteen objects were displayed by artists and architects. Piece by piece creations in which they search for “what lurks behind the facades of picturesque Bruges.
The construction of the Suurhoff Bridge
The Suurhoff Bridge is the gateway to the Maasvlakte and is an important link between Voorne-Putten and the Botlek, Europoort and Rotterdam. Significantly more and heavier traffic now crosses this bridge than was anticipated in the 1970s. The bridge is in poor condition and in need of restoration.
The salvage of a plane wreck
During World War II, on the night of June 22, 1941, an English bomber crashed in the meadows near Nieuwe Niedorp, NH. The aircraft was shot out of the sky over the Kostverlorenpolder by a German night pilot. The crew included six Czechs, employed by the Royal Airforce (RAF). According to defense specialists, the bodies of the victims should still be on the plane. Every reason to want to salvage this wreck.
Ironclad and linkable
In Bergschenhoek, the High Speed Line (HSL) runs right through the built-up area. This rail line has been there for about 12 years now. Admittedly in a sunken box, but still the residents are stuck with the noise pollution of trains passing at a speed of 160 km/h all this time. There are tall glass sound barriers, but they are not working properly.
Towering
A remarkable landmark has stood in Mijdrecht since 1937: the square water tower on Industrieweg, now renamed “Kompastoren. Because of its unusual shape, it is a national monument, also because the water tank is not round but cubic.
Cat in the box
Since July 1, 2020, there are stricter rules for working with a work or lifting bucket.
Ultraluxe hotel
For Amsterdam residents, it is an iconic building: the Palace of Justice on Prinsengracht. From 1836, the judiciary was located here. The landmark building has been vacant for years. It was recently purchased by a Chinese investment company. Over 62 million euros they paid for it. Within three years, the huge complex is to be transformed into Amsterdam’s most luxurious hotel.
The ferry to North
It’s getting busier óon and around the IJ. Amsterdam North has become a highly desirable part of the city. There are 67,000 travelers crossing by ferry daily. By 2030, there will be around 100,000. Therefore, the current drop-off point behind Central Station is going to be completely overhauled. It comes slightly east. Additional land will be created and pontoons will be added. The project has been named “The Leap Across the IJ.
To the bottom
On the outskirts of Almelo is the Leemslagenplas, a 30-meter-deep body of water created by sand excavation. Recently, this puddle has played an important role in cooling the nearby hospital, the ZGT (Hospital Group Twente). Through a two-kilometer pipeline, the hospital draws cold water from the lake to cool their machines and also rooms. Only laying the piping was still quite an operation.
Working in a white world
‘Four hundred driving plates in the snow’. It could easily be the title of a novel. Romantic was the setting at Nederhorst den Berg for sure, but the 900-meter-long roadway was there for a reason.
Floriade 2022
When Floriade opens its gates in Almere next year, visitors should be able to enjoy the scents and colors of flowers and plants in peace. This is now being worked hard on. In fact, the park in which this world horticultural exhibition takes place is right next to the A6.
Almere Poort
Almere, a city only 40 years old, is growing and thriving. In 10 years, more than 300,000 people will live there. Already it is the eighth largest city in the country. It is actually a city made up of a collection of neighborhoods and districts, each with its own layout and appearance.
