TWO OFFICE BLOCKS WETERINGSCHANS

These two office blocks, taking their scale, contour and volume from the villas previously occupying that site, stand at the border between the canal zone and the 19th-century neighbourhoods. In 1980 this 'solo of 312 windows' was to play a leading role in discussions on the new wave of ugliness sweeping functionalist architecture and design. Local columnists described it as 'death's-head architecture', and 'Amsterdam's ugliest'. Yet even here the criticism has gradually subsided over the years and one-time detractors admit to a growing appreciation.
