/ redevelopment models
|
|
|
The Netherlands has several valuable residential neighborhoods from the viewpoint of historic preservation; entire ‘ensembles’ are worthwhile preserving, but the units have also be made up to date for current customers. Frequently these neighborhoods are from a younger, pre-war and post war generation (thirties and early fifties). Ownership of these neighborhoods is with not for profit housing associations and also individual private properties. Challenge is to establish feasible redevelopment strategies. NADC’s sister office DE LIJN has developed a working method for redevelopment models. Main feature: balancing interest between historic value, market potential and financial feasibility. Over the last couple of years there have been pilot projects in Eindhoven (Philipsdorp) and Nijmegen (Hengstdal).

/ rail viaduct redevelopment: Promenade Plantée in Paris
|
|
Hofbogen Partners in Rotterdam commissioned NADC to examine foreign redevelopment models for converted rail viaducts. The models are explored in relation to the Hofbogen Partners' involvement in the future reuse of the Hofpleinlijn and the Hofbogen in Rotterdam. The Promenade Plantée in Paris is a comparable project, developed 16 years ago. The promenade was developed on top of a viaduct which encompasses a series of arches below it. The arches, better known as the ' Viaduc des Arts', are rented to artisans and crafts workshops.
