Contributor Nottrot, R.J. (mentor) Bracken, G. (mentor) Van de Voort, D.J.M. (mentor) Faculty Architecture Department Architecture Programme Explore Lab 15 Date 2013-06-27 Abstract The Polysemous mosque negotiates the dichotomy between the sacred realm and the secular multicultural city. The project positions itself in Amsterdam’s Bijlmer neighbourhood. Once a Modernist suburb, the Bijlmer has undergone generations of decay and more recently grand gentrification schemes. Acknowledging this, the project activates the desolate honeycomb open-space by introducing civic and sacred programme on the site. The mosque’s typological elements are reinterpreted to facilitate a duality of meaning for the community’s diverse residents.
