Architecture Centre of Amsterdam

ARCAM is housed in a tiny aluminum pavilion designed by René van Zuuk and finished in the fall of 2003. The ARCAM tiny, three-story edifice looks experimental, having been built in a traditional manner after six years of adaption from a temporary Nemo Museum building. It's worth seeing on its own because it's so well-executed until the tiny elements start to add up. It blends function and simplicity in a unique design.

ARCAM offers five separate exhibitions each year, one focusing on current innovations in architecture - both in the Netherlands and abroad, and the other on the history of Amsterdam architecture. The ARCAM panorama depicts an overview of city architecture throughout the previous 1200 years of its long history - from the terrain to the current city – on a single, not particularly large wall. You may find an intriguing, little exhibition - about current architecture or architecture from the past in relevance to the present - in a lovely, visually clean, and original structure. For those interested in the subject, this is a must-see.

Location: Prins Hendrikkade 600, 1011 VX Amsterdam
