"Aldo van Eyck's Amsterdam Playgrounds; Inbetweening as Urban Strategy."

By Liane Lefaivre
Department of Architecture, Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands

Aldo van Eyck's playgrounds, like his buildings are based on the concept of inbetweening. Although the playgrounds are far less known than his buildings, Liane Lefaivre argues that they form not only his most important body of work but also one of the most important contributions to urban design thinking of the 20th century.
