Students will propose a myriad interventions gathered on a giant phisical model of 25 x 9 m or a digital one that will be presented to the city. We will look at Amsterdam through our lenses for the Future City: a healthy, green, dense, accessible, intimate, open or free city.
During the design studio, students will produce a vast array of ideas for the city, from immediate actions to long term interventions. We will start by analyzing Amsterdam’s beauty, particularities and challenges by means of digital mapping and visualizations. Subsequently, we will will produce interventions to show how Amsterdam can become an even better place to live.
Students will produce a multitude of physical or digital models that explore all the potentials of the city. All the models will be tested at scale 1:500 on a giant 25 x 9 m table, and will be thoroughly documented for further dissemination. Students will also produce visualizations showing the impact of their interventions. ‘1000 Ideas for Amsterdam’ serves as an open, accessible and visible exploration of the participating students with teachers, experts and local actors of the themes, fantasies and ideas for the future of Amsterdam as a unique place in Europe.
This physical or digital model will be used for testing and illustrating directions and extend ideas. It will serve as a base to generate discussion with the international and local public, leading to a series of conversations, talks and debates about the future of Amsterdam. ‘1000 Ideas for Amsterdam’ is a base to engage all stakeholders participating in the construction of AMS
