The Wave

"The Wave " was designed by Dutch architect René van Zuuk. It's design is based on an analysis of tunnel formwork construction; the basic principle being the simultaneous casting of floors and party walls. Variation in the length of adjacent tunnels breaks the monotonous structure. The result is a wavy facade surface providing the block with a dynamic quality and an expressive image.
The silver-coloured aluminium of the facade, combined with the continuously changing incidence of light, creates a varying identity of Block 16 and suggests a moving scaly creature.

De Kunstlinie

Amidst the striking architecture of the new city centre of Almere, De Kunstlinie of the Japanese architects Sejima and Nishizawa is as a tranquil haven on the water. The complex contains a theatre and a cultural centre with a variety of course spaces. Three theatre halls are sticking out above an almost square building , which also include some patios of daylight. To emphasize the large theatre hall, two equally high foyers are added and the room walls are equiped with a brightly coloured mural.
