- Summary:
- In 2009, the NAi-Ymere biennial celebrated the explorer Henry Hudson, whose pioneering travels laid the foundation for the development of New York City. In the vein of the Fort Amsterdam military post he built on Manhattan's southern tip, participants were asked to imagine new ways to transform the North Amsterdam waterfront.
- Notes:
- "Inspired by Fort Amsterdam built 400 years ago by Henry Hudson on the later island of Manhattan, the entrants in the NAi-Ymere contest Open Fort 400 explore new possibilities for architecture to contribute to the cultural and economic development of the North Amsterdam waterfront." -- Back cover.
- "This book presents the winning ideas of the special competition Open Fort 400." -- Preface, p. 7.
