In the afternoon, we then turned our attention to Almere’s City Centre, the highly-designed mixed-use shopping and residential district added in the 1990s. We were guided on a walking tour of the Centrum voor Architectuur Stedenbouw en Landschap van Almere, http://www.casla.nl/ and were later joined by Brans Stassen, one of the planners who worked on the original town design for Almere in the early 1970s.
Students then split for further exploration by bike or bus, and we reunited aboard the Merlijn for dinner. Due to a storm forecasted to arrive tomorrow, we returned to Amsterdam early and will resume our visits to Almere and the pampus on Thursday. We have contingent plans pending uncertainty in climatic conditions tomorrow. Meaning if it rains, we stay in Amsterdam for exploration. Not a bad place to be stuck on a rainy day.
