This grand design for The Netherlands EU Presidency 2016 merges Dutch heritage with modernity while underlining the rich blend of cultural influences which have always found a main point of entry in Amsterdam throughout the centuries.
The Geometry of Dialogue
A monumental circular arena unfolds beneath the intricate geometries of a glass canopy, grounded by a deep blue floor that mirrors the celestial maps of ancient navigators. The design transforms the historic courtyard into a timeless space of alignment, where history and forward-looking dialogue meet in perfect symmetry.
