Scheepvaart Museum, Amsterdam
Architect: Liesbeth van der Pol
Programma: verbouwing museum.
Ontwerp overkapping: Ney & Partners, Brussel
Locatie: Kattenburgerplein 1, Amsterdam
Het gebouw van het Nederlands Scheepvaartmuseum wordt aangepast aan de wensen en
eisen van de moderne tijd, gestreefd wordt naar een forse groei in het
bezoekersaantal. Door de binnenplaats te overkappen fungeert deze ruimte als
oriëntatie- en keuzepunt voor de bezoeker. Uitgangspunt van het ontwerp is het
gebouw (1656, Daniël Stalpaert) opnieuw te laten spreken. De geometrie, die
herkenbaar is in de gevel, wordt teruggebracht in de plattegronden. Het gebouw
krijgt zo een heldere oriëntatie. De vier risalieten worden gebruikt als stijg-
en oriëntatiepunten, ieder met een eigen karakter en uitzicht op de omgeving.
Bestaande doorbraken worden waar mogelijk hergebruikt om het gebouw zoveel
mogelijk in zijn waarde te laten. Door de meeste steigers rondom het gebouw weg
te halen wordt het robuuste pakhuis weer teruggegeven aan het water. Volgens dit
voorlopige ontwerp zal de bezoeker, als hij uit de ‘onderdompeling van het
museumbezoek’ komt, de overrompelende schoonheid van het oorspronkelijke gebouw
weer kunnen ervaren.

The Netherlands Maritime Museum, Amsterdam
Architect: Liesbeth van der Pol
Programme: museum renovation
Client: Government Buildings Department
Roof design: Ney & Partners, Brussels
Site: Kattenburgerplein 1, Amsterdam
The building of the Netherlands Maritime Museum will be adapted to the desires
and requirements of modern times, designed to accommodate a substantial increase
in the number of visitors. By roofing over the courtyard, this space will become
a point where visitors can orient themselves and select. The design set outs to
allow Daniël Stalpaert’s building of 1656 to speak for itself again. The
geometry, which is recognisable in the façade, is reflected in the floor plans.
In this way the building provides a clear orientation. The four ressaults are
used as rising piers and orientation points, each with its own character and
view over the surroundings. Existing breakthroughs will be reused where
feasible, in order to allow as much of the building as possible to be enjoyed as
it is. By removing the majority of jetties around the building, the sturdy naval
warehouse will once more be sited in the water. According to this preliminary
design, the visitor emerging from the ‘immersion of the museum visit’ will again
be able to soak up the unexpected beauty of the original building. |
