A New Life for Old Buildings
The guide A New Life for Old Buildings contains walking, biking and navigation routes which you can use to visit more than 40 buildings in Amsterdam that have been restored and/or re-used. It gives you an overview of all the projects which have been achieved by the Architectural Bureau van Stigt and a large number of comparable restorations made by other architects. The original architecture and style of every building is detailed and the most important aspects of the restoration or re-use are described. The guide offers an overview of all the styles that have been used in Amsterdam over the past seven centuries. These are placed in the context of the historic development and growth of the city of Amsterdam. The author, Annemarie Wijn, is an architectural historian, former staff member and now board member of the Stichting Agora Europa.
