History of the IJplein ferry

The IJplein ferry arrives beside a neighbourhood built where the Amsterdam Dry Dock Company once stood. After shipbuilding declined, the former yard made way for IJplein, an ambitious housing district realised between 1980 and 1987 with OMA, the office led by Rem Koolhaas.

IJplein was designed to face the water: its open blocks and public space give many residents, and the older Vogelbuurt behind them, views across the IJ. The planned square was never built, but the name IJplein remained for this distinctive waterfront neighbourhood.
