If you’re into eco-friendly, modern architecture, you shouldn’t pass up a chance to take a look at Het Funenpark in the eastern part of the centre. One of the buildings of this new ‘private’ neighbourhood was recently awarded the best new building project of 2011 in Amsterdam. The area contains roughly 550 apartments spread over 16 buildings and residents with a talent for gardening can eat their own organic veggies grown on the rooftops of their buildings.
