Jiburg dijk

by isolina_it - last update: Apr 17, 2003

Looking from above

Proposed for the remotest and only true island of the new Amsterdam development of IJburg, lying at the transition between the city and the waters of IJmeer, is a green and serene world. Here, in the peace of the open country, you can leave the bustle of the city behind. This world makes space for a cemetery, a new living environment for IJburg and a restrained form of recreation. An appropriate programme for this outstanding site, it links into the IJburg scheme, strengthening its position within Amsterdam. A central dike splits the island into two. The south-western part consists of an elongated village of waterside houses interrupted by a few small harbour basins.
