Description
Passenger Terminal Amsterdam (PTA) is a crossroads between land and water and combines a multitude of functions. The striking building has a 600-metre-long quay, large reception halls, a touring car terminal, offices, a convention centre and a subterranean parking with 500 parking places. During the summer months the focus is mostly on tourism. At the terminal, ocean and river cruise passengers receive a warm reception. As a first impression of Amsterdam, Passenger Terminal Amsterdam is the showpiece of the capital. PTA also serves as an event location. Under the undulating roof of this artfully designed building lies a large transparent space which, spread over three levels, accommodates some 3,000 guests. The facade, which boasts of an abundance of glass, makes for a magnificent view on the IJ-harbour and the city center. The remarkable architecture betrays the hand of Larry Malcic of the London-based HOK International Ltd. The bold, wave-like structure gives the building a nautic aura. A masterly example of modern architecture, on historical ground.
