About This Presentation
In our case study city, select and analyse an urban design project at a street scale for its various typologies of in-between spaces. The analysis comes from three perspectives, namely, the theoretical rigor, contextual aspects and the cultural translation into urban form at the selected city.

BORNEO SPORENBURG AN OVERVIEW
A waterfront settlement where it sits close by the East of the heart of Amsterdam. The
two connected docks - Borneo and Sporenburg pay close relation towards the in-
between body of ocean, IJmeer that meets by their sides, acknowledging the close
distance of several neighboring island context.

BORNEO SPORENBURG INTRODUCTION
Borneo Sporenburg is a predominately residential development with 2500
housing units. Its linear parcels lie along docks and provide a waterscape as
well as streetscape. Landscape architect West 8 designed the master plan of
Borneo Sporenburg, which encompasses two large docks. It is also the first
high density development in Amsterdam with a density of 100 residential
units per hectare as the requirement.

BORNEO SPORENBURG HISTORY
Borneo Sporenburg was first a dockland island
integrated as a trade center. The area was
formed for industrial and harbor locations
serving trades for the Hollands colonies. It later
bloomed economically, especially after being
developed as deep water harbor in 1876. The
quay was designed intendedly to be more
modern efficient into loading and unloading with
a deep water construction. However, the harbor
couldn’t sustain itself. After World War 2, it was
moved to the cities' western docklands whilst
some industries bloomed in the area which
made it less busy and disused in the 1970s.

BORNEO SPORENBURG THE PLANNING
In 1996, a decision was made to convert Borneo
and Sporenburg to a high residential
neighborhood development area from an
abandoned harbor. The urban setting presented
a very high density of 100 units per hector (3
times the density of a typical sub-urban
development) along with low-rise housings
each with door openings towards the streets.
More than 100 architects and planners
contributed in the planning procedure together
with the public, creating some new typologies
and urban spaces for middle-class families. The
plan divides 3 “sculpture blocks” known as
spinix, pacman, and fountainhead, creating
crucial landmarks with certain public nodes,
such as courtyards and greenery. In fact, the
vast ocean coverage surrounding the city aids
in relation as a leading public space, open for
Amsterdam boating culture.

BORNEO SPORENBURG THE PLANNER / WEST 8
The design of low-rise housings was resulted by
West 8, which featured harmonic connections
between built and un-built forms. The planners,
West 8 got the inspiration from villages on the
former zuiderzee - a place where small houses
oriented towards water with a a pulsing relation
between the out and in-door spaces.
West 8 gave twenty-odd architects the
same townhome envelope but allowed
each to design with minimal constraints.
The result is a streetscape of diverse,in
between integrated modern facades. Each
is unique, but they form a coherent whole.

BORNEO SPORENBURG DEMOGRAPHIC AND CULTURE
During the 1970’s the docklands were
taken over by artists, squatters, nomads,
and houseboat dwellers. They formed a
large community in the docklands.
However after the redevelopment during
1980’s, most of these squatters moved out
but the artists and houseboat dwellers
remained at the area over time.
Paying relation to its physical site context,
Borneo’s people and culture revolves their
activities by its prevailing water context
surrounding it. Boating, or rather water
recreational activities by the public nodes
are of a common sight as the integral part
of incorporating the oceans as a form of
tourist attraction, scenic beauty, or rather
a quality social and cultural destination.

BORNEO SPORENBURG ECONOMY
Commercial activities in Borneo
Sporenburg are relatively lesser than
other areas because it is aimed to be a
high density suburb residential area. Due
to that, the area has high potential to
develop into a more commercial district
due to its relative low commercial activity
compared to the neighboring areas.

Borneo Sporenburg has successfully
developed an urban environment on the
dockland which incorporates urban
design principles and considerations into
attending the needs of the residents. The
progress of urbanization captures the
essence of being a desired quality city to
inhabit – a benchmark for a livable city.

BORNEO SPORENBURG CONCLUSION
The built form planning of Borneo Sporenburg engages mainly through the body of ocean and the
relation of residents’ needs in social and cultural aspect. The functional zoning is distributed along the

BORNEO SPORENBURG AN OVERALL COMMENT
PROBLEMS, ISSUES AND THOUGHTS
RISK OF REPETITION
The development planning of Borneo Sporenburg has successfully etch a significant
impact towards the conservative approach in the urban context by fulfilling all the
concepts stated by the architects. However, the city still misses several miniscule details
into incorporating considerations of being it flexible at certain aspects of the city.
Residents are seen to use streets and sidewalks as gathering areas due to the lack of public nodes. The open public
spaces available are limited to cater the needs of the residents, especially in the high dense neighborhood.
LACK OF OPEN PUBLIC SPACES
LACK OF MIXED LAND USE
The lack of mixed land use contradicts with the concept of implementing sustainable transportation into the
neighborhood. Residents are relied on owning vehicles to reach facilities that are not offered in this development.
The repeated, monotonous dwelling units stretches to an extent of the entire urban context. Horizontal facades
are formed instead of vertical ones, lacking its sense of individualistic character.
