It is wonderful to find out that a place like the ABC stands accessible in the centre of the quaint city of Haarlem. A visit would definitely not be a waste of time for those interested to find out more about the architecture around, and its history. I personally do not speak Dutch and found it refreshing that the staff spoke very good English and guided me. Printed translations are available for those who prefer to be left alone. Well though of plan to keep children quiet by having some Lego. Having to remind parents to keep their children from disturbing others is not only embarrassing but could be unpleasant too. There are several other activities lined up for those deeper into architecture.

Not great for tourist. No info in English and no info about historic buildings of Haarlem. Staff were friendly and there is an area where you make buildings from Lego. Great if you are a Dutch speaker and into architecture.

For those interested in architecture and planning. The entrance is shared with the Museum Haarlem. Until mid-October in this small-scale center a presentation of realized projects in Haarlem and the (fairly wide) environment of sponsors of the ABC. An overview worth seeing with text, explanation and models. Ecofield is Joyce Verstijnen's graduation project in which she develops ideas to strengthen ecosystems by means of architecture specifically designed for the landscape, flora and fauna. Interesting, but also quite ambitious and contradictory. Further work by Adam Doyce Transue, American / Dutch designer and model builder, in particular on the Amsterdam South axis.
