Modern Amsterdam Map / Kaart van Modern Amsterdam

Our Modern Amsterdam Map / Kaart van Modern Amsterdam curates the city’s finest 20th century architecture from expressionist Amsterdam School housing to ambitious urban expansion plans and the docklands redevelopment. The map pinpoints 50 locations with selected original photography, an introduction and descriptions by Rixt Woudstra, Assistant Professor of Architectural History, University of Amsterdam, and original photography by Loes van Duijvendijk. The architecture map charts the urban growth of Amsterdam, the capital and most populous city of The Netherlands, into the vibrant modern city it is today. The port city’s 17th century canal ring and revered gabled housing was an example of innovative and cohesive town-planning for its time. Yet the 20th century saw humanistic urban expansions in brick and concrete inspired by the Modern movement.
