The renewal of the WFC will transform a closed complex into an open, accessible living area for everyone. It will become a vibrant city district in the middle of Amsterdam where fashion, living, working and meeting come together. Nabila Bouabbouz: "๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐๐ ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ข ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ช๐ต๐บ. ๐ ๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ธ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฑ๐ข๐ณ๐ฌ, ๐ท๐ช๐ข ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฏ ๐ท๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ข๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ง๐ถ๐ณ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ฐ ๐๐ฆ๐ธ-๐๐ฆ๐ด๐ต, ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต ๐ง๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ โ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฏโ. ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐๐ ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฅ๐ช๐ง๐ง๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ต๐ข๐ณ๐จ๐ฆ๐ต ๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ด, ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ช๐ต๐บ ๐ข๐ด ๐ข ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฆ."
The concept behind WFC Amsterdam therefore does not start from bricks and mortar, but from people. Not from functions, but from meaning. Working on the Six is the compass for the renewal of the WFC: six towers, one vision, one community. A vision in which living, working, learning, creating and relaxing merge into a new urban reality. An open ecosystem that lives, grows and connects.
