FreedomLand
As a new chapter of the ancient Myth of Atlantis the cities of Lelystad and Almere emerged from the sea half a century ago. The province of Flevoland has been evolving as a landmark of Dutch culture, combining the forces of both authority and freedom, order and space.
Flevoland is an experimental territory where landscape and urbanism already mean the same thing; where pioneers have freedom and space to develop new ideas for new towns. It is where the well-known ‘fight against water’ is changed into a new condition of coexistence with the water. It is a perfect field to develop new concepts of sustainable architecture, urban and landscape design. The province carries the modern myth of a complicated and powerful geopolitical process. In my series the use of different scales is intent on giving the viewer the space and the freedom to move his attention across different levels of the social-spatial landscape.
