Ujala Radio Station and Creative Office Space

The recently invigorated area of Bijlmermeer in Amsterdam is turning to an excitement immigrant base community of Amsterdam. There are plenty of foreigners in Holland and one distinguished group is that of Indian speaking decent that includes plenty of Surinamese people. Ujala Radio is a key example of how this emerging language base community displays its cultural symbols in the city. The site for Ujala Radio Station is located at an important crossing of Bijlmedreef and close to the hexagonal housing slabs of the 60`s. The proposed building capitalizes in its corner position and orientates each level of office space towards one direction. The volume of each floor shifts at every level in a spontaneous gesture creating terraces for social interaction and increasing the dynamic aspect of the building.
