Het Blauwe Huis
Het Blauwe Huis organises arts projects with artists and residents of the new town of IJburg, which, despite the fact it has only existed for a short time, is already facing urban problems, in which residents are involved as their new town expands.
The new town of IJburg lacks social provision, as a result of which residents are not able to get to know each other and the quality of life in the district is degenerating. Het Blauwe Huis acts as facilitator and initiator in setting up projects with artists and residents that fill this gap. Residents then become part of the development and history of IJburg and its residents, thus contributing to a new identity and social infrastructure for IJburg. The project can therefore be an example for future new towns in the Netherlands.
