Hi, I´ll be visiting next weekend the Netherlands on a (mostly architectural) trip ....
is only 2 days , 3 nights ... arriving a thursday night and leaving sunday morning.

I´m aware of other posts like this (http://www.pushpullbar.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=47) ones

So I it would be awesome if anybody can give some tips...

the idea is:

Friday morning: Utrecht
Friday afternoon:Amsterdam

Saturday morning: Rotterdam
Saturday afternoon:Amsterdam

is this a good idea??

So in Amsterdam we wanna see all the housing buildings and other specific things

and in Utrecht the previoulsy mentioned buildings located in the De Uithof Campus

The Minnaert Building - Neutelings & Riedijk (1997)
Educatorium - OMA/Rem Koolhaas (1997)
Faculty for Economy and Management - Mecanoo (1995)
University Library - Wiel Arets (2004)
NMR-Building - Ben van Berkel, UN Studio (2001)
Basketbar - NL Partners (2003)

and the Schoeder House of Gerrit Rietveld if its possible.... and personaly I think would be awesome to visit it..... do yo know how far is this house from the De Uithof campus?
the villa KBWW_MVRDV is near that house ?


Rotterdam....

the Kunsthal _ OMA
some things of West8
some houses of the rationalism movement


Of course I still have to do research..... but what other buildings are a "must see"?

I wish I could have some information on time and distances between cities, buildings, transportation options... etc
I have some architecture guides but would be awesome to have personal opinions from you guys.

so any opinion, idea, anecdote, etc will be welcome

thanks in advance

The 'De Uithof' campus isn't far from the MVRDV house. I can't seem to remember where the Schroeder house was.

The Schroeder House is about 2km west of De Uithof, and Villa KBWW is about 500m from Schroeder House.
Link (http://www.rietveldschroderhuis.nl/) to Schroeder house website.
In the thread about Villa KBWW (http://www.pushpullbar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5437) you have some info and the kmz. And here's the kmz for the Schroeder house .

And for Amsterdam don't forget to check the ARCAM website (http://www.arcam.nl/index_uk.html) - the architectural guide is great, especially the timeline feature. Or even better, go to the ARCAM if you can and buy the map.
