Industrial heritage

Zaandam (NL)

Hembrug deserted military production facility

Updated 5 March 2024
Hembrug area is a former industrial complex where arms were made: guns, cannons, tanks. The area is now a refuge for artists. Amsterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij, better known as ADM, was an Amsterdam company that repaired ships using dry docks in the Netherlands. After World War II it also built ships. It is now no longer used as such and artists have found their homes and workplaces there. The restaurant is clad with steel plates that have become rusty. Magnificent.

In the lobby to Radboud University Medical Centre in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, Tanja Smeets is exhibiting her 'Glass garden', a metal grid standing 5 metres tall consisting of 3 towers of 800 glass blocks, with 250 sculptures inside. I used the transparant ones to shoot through them and make abstract impressions of the hall which is 5 stories high.

Manrique had a great influence on in what way Lanzarote developed and accommodated tourism and showed repect for Lanzarote's unique volcanic nature. He proposed and succeeded in having the island governement build three centres for 'mainstream' tourism, Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise, individual tourism being spread all over the island, thus preserving the nature of the island. In the rest of the Canary archipelago he created numerous viewpoints and solutions to combine tourism and environment preservation.
