Building the new Library of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam

  • Michiel Nijhoff (a1)
Abstract

From 1993 onwards a number of plans have been made to create an extension of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. City politics, changing views on what kind of a museum the Stedelijk wants to be, and budgetary problems were the reasons two consecutive plans, one by Robert Venturi, the other by Alvaro Siza, were not realised. Finally the Dutch firm Benthem Crouwel designed a new wing, doubling the space of the Museum. In this building, known as ‘The Bathtub’, the library has been given a prominent place.
