The Bos and Lommersquare by Amsterdamwest

The architect Van Eesteren saw an enormous square here in his minds eye, however a highway was constructed, the Coentunnelweg. There were quite a few reasons to build this new square in 2005. There was a wish for a new library, a representative market and larger housing so wealthier residents would like to stay in the neighborhood. Another wish was to hide the highway and reconnect both sides of the neighborhood. Cycle a bit further in between the two office buildings and cross over the highway. On your left you will see a very famous church.
