Above is the Wozoco Apartments in Osdorp, Nederlands

This is our second post on the Netherlands. See Adaptive Reuse in the Netherlands. This new video concentrates on an area of Amsterdam called Osdorp. It sounds like after 20 years, this area has been re-zoned and this is a good thing. This is so good in fact that a book was published on the subject and Plus One Amsterdam was commissioned to produce an intriguing video. Here is what was said about the video:

The city district Amsterdam Osdorp recently merged with Slotervaart and Geuzenveld-Slotermeer and was given the name Amsterdam Nieuw-West. This change also meant the end of 20 years of restructuring urbanized areas. To celebrate everything achieved, a book was published. ‘The Metamorphosis of Osdorp’ gives an overview of the architectural highlights. PlusOne was asked to create an intriguing video.

Check out the video and let us know what you think…..
