Glass Tower Under Construction, Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena

26 May 2025 · Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena

A curved curtain-wall cylinder rises from the Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena construction zone, its faceted glass facade sweeping upward against a deep blue summer sky. The low-angle fisheye locks the tower's arc against a yellow tower crane cutting a hard diagonal overhead — structure still mid-sentence, already making its argument. Below the cylinder, the exposed structural skeleton of the podium levels sits open to the street: concrete columns, layered floor plates, the geometry of a building deciding what it will become.
