Barendrecht
Pieter Janszoon
Saenredam Project
The city of Barendrecht, near Rotterdam in Holland,
commissioned Lucien den Arend to make a landscape design for a new housing
project called Molenvliet. Den Arend proposed to make use of a planned water
reservoir. He reshaped it into a large rectangle - eighty by fifty meters. On
one end he projected a thirty by thirty meter island - ten meters from three adjacent shores. On the island he planted a grid of sixteen by
sixteen rows of willow trees in four squares.
