ART PROJECT

The location of Square, situated at a junction between the old district Amsterdam-Zuid and the new Zuidas. The old Amsterdam-Zuid district especially contains many notable examples of works of art.
Following this tradition in Amsterdam-Zuid of integrating art and architecture, a design competition was organized for young artists at the Sanberg Institute. They were asked to design the entrance gate for the inner courtyard of Square. The jury, under the chairmanship of Francisca Benthem from Bureau de Kunst, chose unanimously for the design by Aliki van der Kruijs (in elaboration with Adriaan Aarnoudse Architect) who took her inspiration from the trees. The design has monumental bronze railings with a circular pattern of branches corresponding to the pattern of the branches of a tree. A circle within a square is a strong, classical, timeless and symbolic image that will be an eye catcher of the building.
