Sluishuis housing Amsterdam
At the place where urban, rural areas and water meet in Amsterdam IJburg, Sluishuis has been realised: the iconic housing project designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and Barcode Architects. Sluishuis forms a welcoming entrance to Amsterdam IJburg. The volume is elevated on one side to allow the water into the courtyard and stepped down on the other side to make an inviting gesture towards IJburg with friendly green terraces. From every angle, you experience the Sluishuis volume differently. Whether you are standing on the dyke, motorway or bridge, walking across the jetties or public route over the roof, or even viewing the building from the air: Sluishuis knows how to surprise you from all sides. The residential programme consists of 442 apartments. Rental and owner-occupied homes alternate throughout the building and provide space for various target groups, income levels and age categories. All apartments are accessible via the central courtyard. There, the cantilever and the water welcome you to the building. Each home has optimal views and daylight thanks to the special shape of Sluishuis with its double-cut volume.
Sluishuis has a rich diversity of housing typologies, such as compact urban studios and water sports apartments. On the top two floors are duplex penthouses with both a relationship with the courtyard and a view over the IJmeer. Premium flats with luxurious and sunny wooden roof terraces with views over IJburg are located on the stepped part. Extra special are the apartments at the bottom of the cantilever, with stunning views over the IJ and directly on the water. What makes these apartments so unique is that they hang over the water and in the part of the floor that runs along with the sloping façade, there is a large window through which you can see the boats sail right underneath you. The plinth will accommodate a varied programme including a sailing school, water sports centre and restaurant with a spacious terrace in the sun. Residents and visitors enter through the courtyard. The walkway to the roof of Sluishuis offers visitors and residents a spectacular view of the water and the neighbourhood. There is also a jetty promenade with 34 houseboats around the building. The jetty landscape stimulates contact with the water with various mooring places, sitting decks, and floating gardens. The carefully designed landscape also stimulates flora and fauna with local plant species and a bird island. In this way, the plinth and the surrounding landscape form a high-quality addition to the environment.
In its materiality, the building seeks contrast but also a connection with its surroundings. In the material palette, natural materials have been chosen so that the building will have a rich and natural appearance over the years. The abstract, untreated aluminium of the façade reflects the water and gives the volume a different appearance at any time of day. In contrast, the stepped roof terraces and the jetty promenade are made of wood, which gives a tactile appearance. Sluishuis is one of the most sustainable buildings recently completed (2022). It has an energy performance coefficient (EPC) of -0.02. The building's heating requirements have been minimised by combining excellent insulation techniques, triple glazing and heat recovery from the ventilation systems and showers. The building is heated by a combination of energy-efficient district heating and heat pumps for hot water and cooling. The building's energy consumption for heating, heat pumps, ventilation and LED lighting is fully provided by approximately 2,200 m2 of solar panels. In addition to these technical aspects, a great deal of attention was paid to the greenery and water collection in the development of Sluishuis. At the front, sides and in the courtyard are gardens with local plant species. The greenery runs across the roof terraces upwards in built-in planters. On the roof, this creates a pleasant green atmosphere.
The Civil Society Programme took place on Wednesday 11 May and Thursday 12 May and provided an opportunity for dialogue between civil society and EBRD staff, senior management, the President and Board Directors. It was an occasion for civil society stakeholders to learn more about the Bank and discuss issues of interest and concern regarding the EBRD’s policies and investment projects.
The Programme also featured multi-stakeholder roundtable sessions on key strategic themes related to the role of civil society as an important actor in transition and development processes. Special features of the Civil Society Programme 2016 were discussions on:
•25 years of Transition - The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
•Engaging civil society to promote transparent procurement
•EBRD’s Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality (2016-2020): the role of civil society
•Inclusion through skills and innovatiom
In addition, a panel organised by the youth organisation AIESEC looked at the role of youth in shaping the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.
What has been civil society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?
The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bank’s establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.

Warriors, dromedaries, bears and falconers: the iconographic programme of San Baudelio de Berlanga
Before going into the meaning of the paintings that covered the walls of the hermitage of San Baudelio de Berlanga, in Casillas de Berlanga, close to Berlanga de Duero (Soria), we will briefly review the history and architecture of this temple, whose construction dates back to the end of the 11th century, although the hermitage that gave rise to it could have been founded earlier on that same site. According to tradition, a primitive cave dug into the rock next to a fountain served first as a dwelling for some hermit and then as the base for the organization of a monastery dedicated to the patronage of San Baudelio, a Gallo-Roman martyr from the 4th century to whom several temples are dedicated in Spain and France.
The first reference to the hermitage of San Baudelio dates back to 1136: that year the Council of Burgos decreed the assignment to the diocese of Sigüenza of several towns and places previously assigned to that of Osma, including Berlanga and the monastery of San Baudelio. The time of the construction of the hermitage coincides with the definitive settlement of the Christian kingdoms in the advance of the reconquest: around 1060 Fernando I took precisely Berlanga and, until well into the 11th century, the area around this place was a border zone subject to incursions and retreats by Arabs and Christians.
As for its architecture, the chapel is made up of two rectangular bodies of different sizes made of masonry supported by ashlars. Its external appearance is very simple, with its entrance door with a bent horseshoe arch standing out.
The floor plan corresponds to two cubes (the central one and the apse one). When you enter, you will see that, under the colonnade, there is the entrance to the cave dug into the rock where the primitive hermit who founded the place would have lived. Approaching it (you have to kneel down and use your mobile phone to illuminate it) you will see two rooms or cavities at the back.
The apse houses the central chapel of the church and is accessed through a large horseshoe arched entrance that rises above the main nave. In the centre of the latter is the “palm tree” by which so many remember Saint Baudelio: a cylindrical column from which eight horseshoe-shaped ribs emerge, like palm branches, which support the vaulted ceiling. This tree is part of both Christian and Muslim iconography and was understood by the “blessed” as a model of a solid and protective plant. At the top of the column is a small lantern that, according to some theories, could have been used as a reliquary for the safekeeping of texts or sacred objects.
The rear area of the main nave also has a set of small columns with horseshoe arches forming five vaulted naves. Above them is the choir, which was accessed (now access is prohibited for safety reasons) via a staircase attached to the wall. This choir is completed with a small tribune with a half-barrel vault, which, according to Ortega Frías, was a secluded chapel where religious services could be held in private and, according to Bango Torviso, a kind of tribune for lay people with its own altar.
THE ICONOGRAPHIC PROGRAM OF THE PAINTINGS OF SAN BAUDELIO. AND ITS LOOTING
The entire interior space of the hermitage, from the walls and vertical planes to the concave surfaces of its walls, was the support for paintings that in the 20th century were the object of one of the most striking cases of looting in Spanish art. In 1922, these works were bought from the owners of the hermitage (some neighbours of Casillas) by an intermediary of the North American collector Gabriel Dereppe, for 65,000 pesetas at the time, and although the Spanish government tried to prevent it and the matter was taken to court, our Supreme Court ruled in favour of the new owners of the temple, which was not open to worship at that time, in 1925.
They were free to dispose of the paintings, and they did so: Italian specialists from the workshop of Steffanoni, an expert in covering and removing mural frescoes, removed them and arranged them on 23 canvases that travelled to America in 1926. They were distributed between the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Cloisters of the MET in New York and the museums of Indianapolis and Cincinnati, where they are still mostly located. Only a small part can be seen today in the Prado Museum thanks to a 1957 agreement that also had its fine print: in exchange for the return of some frescoes, belonging to the hunting series on the lower part of the walls of San Baudelio, Spain ceded to the Metropolitan the Romanesque apse of the church of San Martín de Fuentidueña, in Segovia. This church, by the way, had been declared a National Monument in 1931.
Despite the removal of the frescoes, the impregnation of some of them was so strong that many walls in the hermitage itself still bear the trace of those works, allowing us to imagine what the rich ensemble would have been like at the beginning.
Camón Aznar, Sánchez Cantón and Ortego Frías agreed that paintings with a profane (hunting) theme and simpler execution were Mozarabic, and those that refer to chapters of sacred history and present more ornate compositions were Romanesque. The former are said to be earlier. However, a study by Milagros Guardia from 1982 maintains that both Mozarabic and Romanesque paintings are, in addition to being contemporary, works from the same workshop, although perhaps not from a single master. The result would be a unitary treatment, in terms of the plastic aspect and its meaning, of the pictorial repertoire.
