ALDO VAN EYCK - SEVENTEEN PLAYGROUNDSWith his distinctive playground designs, Dutch architect Aldo van Eyck
has left his mark on generations of children in Amsterdam. Over the
years, he created a network of more than 700 playgrounds throughout the
city, their minimalistic design intended to stimulate imagination and
curiosity. Today, only a handful of these are still intact, the others
having been removed or transformed to share space with brightly coloured
slides and swings. This special publication revisits the seventeen
remaining playgrounds in Amsterdams centre created by Van Eyck,
including that of the Rijksmuseum. |
