There is a city upstairs...Citadel...

There is a city upstairs...with houses, gardens, paths, stairs, lifts, bridges and very nice views...

From Almere (III)


It's the Citadel in Almere-Stad...

Located at the heart of the new town of Almere, the dual-purpose block designed by Christian de Portzamparc fits into Rem Koolhaas’ multi-layered urban plan.

The block is fragmented by the crossing of two pedestrian high streets built onto a structural plate, which, below, accommodates the public car network and car parks. Above the high streets, colorful houses are distributed around a large convex meadow, preserving the intimacy of the inhabitants.
