OverHolland 4

The last OverHolland book focussed on the analysis of a few remarkable architectonic artefacts of the city of Amsterdam. In the fourth edition of OverHolland, this research into the architectonic makeup of the capital is extended to infrastructural projects. Just like other buildings, infrastructural works also manifest themselves expressly in the city as artefacts with an unmistakable physical and material presence. Bridges, dikes, overpasses and tunnels for cars, trains or subways contribute to the built-up identity of the city just as much as public buildings and residential areas. The projects analysed in this edition of OverHolland illustrate this view.
