The beginning idea of the plan of OMA for the Almere centre, 1994, was based on the superposition of uses, with an emphasis on pedestrians and the buildings. This block, which is home to the main commercial centre is paradigmatic regarding its variety of uses, from the car park and the underground infrastructures up to the inhabited green covering.

The temporary intervention in a former paper mill, for an exhibition of work by Kazuyo Sejima, required the prompt low-cost execution of a programme of minimum facilities for the public.

They also serve as supports for the benches scattered around the site.
