Visserijplein is a square in the heart of the multicultural and vulnerable neighborhood Bospolder and Tussendijken (BoTu). BoTu deals with great challenges in the realm of safety, working and living. The assignment is to empower the neighborhood by designing a multifunctional building block providing space to new forms of living, meeting, learning, making, playing and working. The aim is to give the area a socioeconomic boost by a combination of housing, public functions, educational program and commercial spaces in analogy of new concepts like the Library of the Future.
