CODA Shelter for Culture

This building is also located in Apeldoorn, Netherlands it was completed in 2011.  This building has a much less dated design and really looks quite modern. The dark grey and glass exterior is very clean with nice lines.  The building carries on the idea structuralist ideas of the Central Beheer offices. The building holds an art museum but in keeping with Hertzberger’s structuralist ideas there are no fixed walls in the underground gallery section.  The building also houses part of a library, really excelling in the multiple-use idea that Hertzberger was working toward. There is lots of light through the building and large spaces since there aren’t fixed walls.
