[coverattach=1]The competition brief called for a multifunctional building, including a Turkish bath, cinema, restaurant, offices and a gym in the heart of a residential area renovvned for its Amsterdam School buildings. The design stems from an avvareness of, and sensitivity tovvards, this context. The building inverts the typical Amsterdam School typology- a sculptural brick exterior with a void in the middle- creating a public building that opens out tovvard the city vvhilst containing sculptural brick tovvers vvithin. The brick tovvers fulfill several functions: they act structurally, they provide enclosed space for particular programs, and they tie the various cultural and commercial programs spread throughout the building into a coherent identifiable whole.
