The next time I visit New York, although I honestly don’t know when that will be, I’ll be sure to check out the New Amsterdam Plein & Pavillion. Built in commemoration of the friendship between New York and the Netherlands, perhaps it’s a chance to experience two cultures at once.
Designed by UNStudio’s Ben van Berkel, the New Amsterdam Plein & Pavillion structure will feature a comfortable seating area while providing information on upcoming events in both regions. Visit YankoDesign.com for more info.
