The Amsterdam Metro Oostlijn has started a new life. A series of five underground and eleven above-ground metro stations have been radically renovated. The result is a metro line worthy of the Dutch capital: clear, comfortable and modern, with an eye for historical qualities. After more than thirty years of adjustments and renovations, renovation was badly needed. Only then could the Oostlijn continue to make a vital contribution to the future of Amsterdam as a growing city with an increasing role for public transport. Architectural firm GROUP A and strategic design firm Fabrique joined forces for this dream assignment. For this they took the original Brutalist architecture as a starting point and at the same time made intelligent use of the serial character of the metro as a coherent system. Furniture, lighting, advertising and signage have been systematically addressed and architectural interventions brought routing, safety and appearance to a new, higher standard. Tile pictures and a series of special interventions reinforce the cohesion between the stations and the individual character of the East Line Metro. The result is a renewed East Line that embraces the past and focuses on the future. 'Metro Oostlijn Amsterdam' takes the reader on a journey through the award-winning renovation of the Metro Oostlijn: from history to future, from vision to strategy, from drawing to production and from sketch to reality.
