Music building on the IJ
Located at the head of the Oostelijke Handelskade, the 'Muziek Gebouw aan het IJ' is the new accommodation for two organizations devoted to modern and non-western music. Each organisation had been given its own identity in the new building. The auditorium of the BIMhuis has been inserted like a black box. The eye-catcher and unifying element is the roof. At its head-end the building has a large public concourse and functions as a public plaza. At the waterside is a wide square with an outdoor café on the water. The 24 meter high glass façade provides a panoramic view of the river IJ.
