In one of the busiest tourist centers of The Netherlands one can
find the Museum Beelden aan Zee. 'Sculptures by the sea ' is an
oasis of tranquility. It is built underneath and around an old
Pavilion erected in 1826 by King William. A quiet place filled with
sculptures of man. The work of the well-known Dutch architect
Wim Quist is at its best in this museum, in its surprising variety in
size, light, shape and level. The museum is built partly in a dune,
and has a large hall filled with daylight, patios and terraces. The
collection of mr. and mrs. Scholten-Miltenburg together with
changing exhibitions of contemporary sculptures have found a
unique haven near the sea.

Netherlands Dance Theater
Address
Schedeldoekshaven 60
2511 EN Den Haag

.
The Netherlands Dance Theatre, completed in 1987, was
originally conceived in 1980 as an extension to a circus theatre in
Scheveningen, the seaside of The Hague. In 1984, the design was
adapted to a new site - the Spui Complex - in the centre. At that
time this new context was undergoing substantial change. Now
the Dance Theatre shares the Spui Complex with a concert hall
(van Mourik, architect), the town hall (white building by Richard
Meier) and a hotel designed by Carel Weeber (also the planner of
the complex). What would have been a flamboyant exterior
reflecting the holiday vernacular of Scheveningen, became, in the
city centre, a humble building (with the exception of the
billboard/mural), which almost disappears between its
extroverted neighbors. Although there was minimal collaboration
between OMA and the architects of the concert hall, the
buildings’ physical proximity generated a shared foyer - a 7 m
wide alley between the two buildings.

Archipelontwerpers produced a design for the renovation of 8
shops in the historical centre of The Hague. The street where
they stand formed an exception in the otherwise beautifully
refurbished city centre: the dilapidated dwellings above the
shops stood empty and many of the buildings were boarded up;
the public space was neglected. The client, property developer
Geste, wanted to build something that would give the
neighbourhood a boost. The façades of the buildings were
restored and behind them new dwellings were built, accessed
from a raised terrace. Below ground level is a large retail space
with a flexible floor plan. The 8th, corner building has a new
glass curtain wall draped in a golden steel mesh that lends the
whole project an exclusive air. Attention-getting was not the only
reason for choosing a sculptural form - it also alludes to the
formal idiom of the Art Nouveau architecture in the immediate
vicinity and to the sinuous course of the stream that once flowed
here.

.
In the early 20th cent. architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage
(1856-1934) was the foremost pioneer in the field of modern
architecture in the Netherlands. The controversial building of the
Gemeentemuseum was his crowning achievement. It includes
many innovative features on the use of light, dimensions,
construction, colour, climate control, and visitor facilities.
Visitors enter between 2 pylons and approach the building via a
covered walkway flanked by 2 ponds. The transition enables them
to leave the city and the cares of everyday life literally behind
them. The design of the museum is based on a grid composed of
squares and cubes with sides measuring 1.10 m. All the walls and
columns are located on the system lines and intersections of this
grid. The superstructure of the museum is built of concrete and
iron. The concrete skeleton was then faced with striking
ochre-coloured bricks. The brick walls are not load bearing. In
the 1930s, the use of reinforced concrete was still fairly new.
