Here it is - my personal favorite.

Het Zandkasteel ('The Sandcastle') is a former bank headquarters in Amsterdam Bijlmer. It was designed in the late 1970s by Alberts & van Huut, who won the design competition after Herman Hertzberger (AHH) and Hans van Beek (PRO) came 2nd and 3rd.

Built in 1987 in the then-rare anthroposophical style, this office building was considered a succesful synthesis between organic design, utilitarian functionality and rational construction. The ten towers are connected by an elevated 'flowing' inner street on the second level. Each tower floor has working units of 80m2 with a capacity of 50 workers. Natural light could shine through big windows in the roofs.

At the time, the building was the third most expensive bank building. It's organic design ment no straight angles, natural materials and lots of integral green in the facades, floors and rooftops were all in cohesion. Rainwater could flow from the roof through the railings to the plants at the inner street.

The inner street was ment to flow like a river. Visitors and users could find their way by following the mushroom lights and different coloring of the elevator doors. The wood panelling was made by Theo Crosby.

This building was part of the development of the center of Bijlmer. It was built in cohesion with the shopping center and social housing adjecent to it. These building were designed by Atelier PRO and Broek & Bakema.

My heart almost stopped when ING announced they were leaving Het Zandkasteel. Then-mayor Eberhard van der Laan proposed to demolish the building. Its seems typical that older generations are so dismissive of any building build after 1970. Luckily, the developers that took over the project were of the Good Kind and they involved original architect Max van Huut to refurbish it into housing and a school. Thanks to my work, I was able to witness this renovation and see the end-result up close.

Just a note that Kiete van der Laan has got in touch with me via their private Tumblr (that that wish to keep private). I am in process of changing their post. It includes changing their photo show how they currently look.

Also changed is their DOB (to a year older), ethnicity (Indonesian/white) and that they are genderfluid (she/they).

Biochemists clear up a decades-old misconception about a key metabolic pathway

Imagine that the brightest minds in a particular discipline all agree that the object of their research looks like a triangle. What then happens when someone turns up and says: ‘No, it’s actually a square.’? ‘They’ll say he’s cuckoo!’ said Martin van der Laan, whose unequivocal response directly reflects the experience that his colleague Eunyong Park from the University of California in Berkeley…
