Inntel Hotel Zaandam, Netherlands designed by WAM © Roel Backaert
In Zaandam, the city of the first European McDonalds, we find the Inntel Hotel designed by dutch architects WAM.
The 12-storey tall structure is the result of stacking a series of tradicional Dutch houses.
Neo post modernism?

I never can get enough of Volume. This issue is loaded with provocative articles that stimulate discussion about a pressing reality, the dramatic demographic shift in the age of human populations. Throughout this issue there are articles like Martti…
“‘After Crisis’ concentrates around the new conditions for architectural practice and around the new epistemologies that may inform it in the next future. That is, in the period after the financial bubble has collapsed and living and working conditions…
Strategy Space / a+t: Landscape Urbanism Strategies
Landscape Urbanism is the new black in architecture and this magazine, part of a+t strategy series, has heads turning. There are a dozen projects and hundreds of ideas in this edition. A recurring them is the manipulation of time…
Ewwwww. Seems to be a trend these days to take an existing typology and just attached it to facades to create a recognizable building type that can be accepted without thought by the local culture.
An absolute abomination…this is the most dreadful piece of kitch Ive seen in years.
good lord!….
The April Fool’s day post looks better than this one.
NOOOOOOO!
Venturi must be proud…
this is the best Rem Koolhaas building yet! or is it a Frank Gehry masterpice?
postmodernism is back in full force…..im afraid.
Neo-Lego. Aisle 10.
It’s crazy…but I love it anyways!
What a nightmare.
ewww! it’s like a barbie’s house in sustainability times.
i’m afraid this.
reminds me of something FAT might attempt
woah! These dutch can go to such extremes! What the h e l l is this?!?!??!
Sick! Absolutely Disgusting!!!
I’d say it’s more camp than kitsch, and intentionally so to the degree that it’s actually interesting.

Just need to bash it up a bit and put on some cannons and legs.
Oh dirt and a small witch too.
This is like Herzog & de Meuron’s Vitra building gone wrong. This trend reminds me of the game Jenga.
Nothing wrong with a bit of humour, or a big tongue in the cheek. I know it’s quite kitsch, but i find the playfulness rather intruiging… Something radically different to most of the clinical and minimalist spec boxes you find so often these days. Just too bad there isn’t any additional information (floor plans and such) to study the buidling more thoroughly. Respect!!
Génial !
Sacré Edouard (François)… je me disais aussi, vos logements à Champigny-sur-Marne, quelle trouvaille !
cruelle déception…
This is a horrific looking building, truley one of the ugliest things I have ever seen but it makes me extremely happy! It is just like a house constructed from Lego by children but should only ever belong in this pretend world
