Jeroen Schipper supervisor Amsterdam Overamstel
We are proud to announce that the City of Amsterdam has appointed Jeroen Schipper as urban and architectural supervisor of the Overamstel project area as of June 1.
Over the coming decade this part of Amsterdam, just south of the River Amstel, will continue to evolve from a peripheral working area into a metropolitan district with a mixture of living and working. Proposing and strengthening sustainable and spatial quality – while also embracing the existing highly diverse identity of the area – is one of the spearheads that Jeroen will focus on as supervisor.
“As the density of this metropolitan area increases, my goal is to shape the changes within the resulting dynamism and, at the same time, preserve the specific and multiform character of Overamstel for the future, allowing a unique, sustainably beautiful and well-functioning city district to flourish.”
Jeroen will carry out his duties as supervisor alongside his work as architect-partner with Orange Architects. Both parties have expressed the intention to ensure the lasting involvement of the supervisor in the development of Overamstel.
