A reinterpretation of the ateliers on the Zomerdijkstraat
Atelier Havoc Milk has been constructed on a scale 1 : 2 as part of the exhibition atelier Malkovich concerning the future atelier. Instead of starting from scratch, the design is all about the reinterpretation of the monumental atelier/habitats on the Zomerdijkstraat in Amsterdam (1932-1934). The archetypical atelier with its high ceilings and northern light has got great qualities. The ateliers on the Zomerdijkstraat possess these qualities and rest on a famous artist’s tradition. It would be a shame to ignore this archetypical monument when building an atelier for the future.

Atelier Havoc Milk
The social position of the artist and his methods have evolved since the thirties. Therefore the old ateliers have been integrated in the new design, in a manner to meet the demands of today and beyond. The arts will always change and evolve but keep a tension with the past. This tension is being exploited in atelier Havoc Milk.
