The Dutch sturcturalist architect ALDO VAN EYCK left his mark in Amsterdam not only in The from of building But also, perhaps surprisingly, in the from of urban playgrounds,
Over the course of his carrer he created a network of more than 700 playgrounds thoughout the capital.
Today only a handful of these remain intact.
A special publication, compiled by Denisa Kollarova and anna van lingen revisits the seventeen remaining Van Eyck playgrounds in Amsterdam's city center. The following extarct from the Book seeks to introduce the project, and describe its Urgency.
We now live in an era in which there are not many carefully constructed playgrounds. We dont like what We see have We - city decision makers, Architects designers, parents, friends forggotten to be critical.
