Amsterdam is famous for its canals and old buildings but the city has also a relatively rich collection of modern architecture. One of them is Kleiburg, in Amsterdam Southeast, a building with more than 500 apartments.

Kleiburg is part of Bijlmermuseum, an open-air and living museum consisting of a built environment (6 apartment buildings, 1100 meter metro viaduct, and green space) that has been built between 1967 and 1972 in the area called Bijlmermeer, Amsterdam Southeast. Since 2019 all elements and areas of the Bijlmermuseum gain status as the protected cityscape of Amsterdam. 

The apartment building of Kleiburg was built in 1969 and ready in 1971.  The whole building was closed from January 2009 until 2012 for a new plan. Finally, it was designated as a self-renovated project in the period of 2013-2016, when buyers purchased a basic empty living space ready for renovations.

There were two questions that were addressed by the research:

  • Is the renovation of Kleiburg as a self-renovated apartment building successful? This concerns the period of initiation and planning, the period of realization, and the period of living and management;

  • What influence has the renovation of the Kleiburg and the influx of new residents in the neighborhood had?

  • creating jobs and opportunities through practical implementation of heritage values

This book is standard work for any researchers about the tangible shared heritage of Indonesia and the Netherlands, and I am humbled to have an opportunity to translate this book into Indonesian so the Indonesian researchers could access the content for free in a pdf version.
