The Wild City

The Wild City Amsterdam, The Netherlands. 2011

 
 

There isn’t a patch of land in the Netherlands that hasn’t been, one way or another, touched, adapted or protected from other environments. The “wild”, in the Netherlands, disappeared centuries ago, confining the relation between men and animals to the formality of gardens, parks and zoos, or the functional landscapes of agriculture. The project is an exploration of the possibilities of an unmaintained world where botany, design and architecture meet outside the technical frame of sustainability and the comfortable setting of the bucolic.
