Almere Architecture City

Almere, the youngest city in the Netherlands, has always embraced ambitious construction projects. As the city rose on land reclaimed from the Zuiderzee, everything had to be reinvented. This publication showcases the “New Town” through a selection of its top architectural projects, from the eco-district of Oosterwold and OMA’s elevated City Centre, to landscape artwork by Daniel Liebeskind. In addition, international firms like Alsop, MVRDV, and SANAA are featured alongside Dutch icons such as Marlies Rohmer and René van Zuuk. The guide also unveils Almere’s hidden gems, like the historic Bivouac House, as well as playful creations like the Klokhuis, designed by children.
