#HTE
We’re thrilled to announce a new collaboration with our friends SUPER ARCHITECTS!
The series - Overview Cityscapes - will focus on architecture as a collaborative discipline, architecture that’s part of the greater collective. No building stands alone as it’s always part of a larger agenda - what we call the city. Architecture is not just a singular object, but an object within the field - it’s the puzzle pieces coming together the form the puzzle itself. Every month we will share two city Overviews across our feeds!
For our first post, we’re thrilled to feature one of our favorite cities - #Amsterdam. The canal system of the city - known as Grachten - is the result of considered urban planning. In the early 17th century, when immigration was at a peak, a comprehensive plan for the city’s expansion was developed with four concentric half-circles of canals emerging at the main waterfront. In the centuries since, the canals have been used for defense, water management, and transport.
You can also now use the hashtag #OverviewCityscapes on any Instagram post for a chance to be featured on the @dailyoverview or @superachitects feeds. Aerial shots of your home cities are encouraged!
