Located in a former harbour area in Amsterdam and surrounded by open space and water, the 'Kraanspoor is a unique and inventive piece of contemporary architecture by Trude Hooykaas. Built on the remaining concrete trestles from what previously formed a rail line for the harbour cranes used to build ships, this new building sits lightly on its history-ridden supports, mixing the old with the new. The history of the site and its redevelopment are explored here with particular emphasis placed on the new building and its specific features. Illustrated throughout by photographs and architectural drawings, and accompanied by essays and notes.
