top 7 green trendsetters
The Temporary Courthouse Amsterdam is among the top 7 green trendsetters. "Nature inclusive, climate adaptive or energy conscious building is not just a matter of technological innovation and conviction. These seven projects are not only green, but they also fulfil an important function as pioneers for a new way of thinking. They were far ahead of their time and are still used as benchmark projects for green facades, timber construction, demountable construction and/or special energy performance", according to the compilers of the green architecture guide.
about the temporary courthouse amsterdam
Where the main entrance of the Amsterdam Court was between 2016-2022, there is now a green, empty lot. The building has been completely dismantled and its parts are now in storage to be reassembled next year at Kennispark Twente in Enschede. There, it will serve as a multi-tenant office building, including an educational function. Thanks to its exceptionally remountable and flexible design, the building is highly circular and avoids the waste of materials. The building is flexible in time, place and function.
