Text description provided by the architects. The island of Oostenburg in Amsterdam was formed together with the neighbouring Oostelijke Eilanden (Eastern Islands) Kattenburg and Wittenburg by draining part of the IJ river. While Kattenburg and Wittenburg became residential areas, Oostenburg maintained its identity as a working island. The history of Oostenburg dates back to when it was a Dutch East India Company shipyard, which later became a workplace for shipbuilder Stork and by 2005 was the site for the INIT building.
