Just thirty years after the first pioneers were installed, Almere became the eighth city of the country with nearly 180,000 inhabitants. A veritable laboratory of reflection on urban planning, the heart of the city has just been rethought and redesigned by Rem Koolhaas, who has designed its plans.ACombining harmoniously housing, public infrastructure, commercial and leisure facilities, the project brings together the great names of contemporary architecture.

OMG4627278: Architecture Centre (ARCAM) Amsterdam, architect Rene Van Zuuk, 2003. For this project, the architect drew inspiration from the specific data of the place: the quay of Leoosterdok, narrow and low. The rather compact building consists of three floors. An exhibition space occupies the level of Prins Hendrikkade. The upper floor houses offices and, at the bottom, at the water level, there is a versatile space for medium-sized meetings and conferences. The facade, glazed on two floors, offers a splendid view of the canal. Photogrpahie 05/04/07., Zuuk, René van (b.1962) / Bridgeman Images
