With this in mind, we are showcasing a selection of our favorite photographs where the human figure takes center stage, enhancing our reading of architecture.

Where historic old Amsterdam and the modern city meet, Ronald Janssen Architecten has designed an imposing building that neither contrasts nor blends in with its surroundings. As you drive down busy Foeliestraat, you’ll notice nos. 2-4, but it won’t be immediately obvious that this is a residential building containing commercial space.
