ARCAM Amsterdam Centre for Architecture

Designed by Rene van Zuuk www.renevanzuuk.nl, and completed in 2003, the ARCAM building holds 5 rotating exhibitions showcasing current Dutch or International architecture. The surprisingly simple building shows what can be achieved with simple materials used in and inventive and sculptural way. The sweeps of the buildings curves form small external niches that frame views of the city, whilst the purposely proportioned glazing sculpturally divides and otherwise simple facade in that modernist way.
