NDSM toen & nu - Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij, Amsterdam; Botman, Wouter; Spits, Elisabeth K., 1955- (Hoog Keppel : Uitgeverij Boekschap, 2018)
Blossoming, perishing and rising from its own ashes: the NDSM is the Phoenix of Amsterdam. Anyone who visits the site of the former shipyard (and tens of thousands do!) finds oneself in a dazzling mix of art, business, festivals, markets and restaurants. The decor: industrial hangars, raw concrete slipways, dolphins, cranes and pulleys. Something beautiful blossoms here between past and present.0In this book, the extraordinary life cycle of the NDSM passes by in almost 200 beautiful photographs. The NDSM shipyard was once the largest in the Netherlands. In 1984, this pride of Amsterdam-Noord went bankrupt. From the slipways where magnificent concerts are now held, colossal ships once glided into the IJ. Where studios and offices now stand, thousands of labourers worked on ocean liners and supertankers. And shipbuilding can still be found there.0For photographers, the NDSM site was and is a rewarding subject. Many of them are united in this book. Great names from the past, such as Cas Oorthuys and Frits Rotgans, alongside contemporary photographers such as Marc Faasse and Jaap Scheeren. Join them in viewing this unique piece of Amsterdam-Noord and discover the NDSM
