Puccinimethode
The Puccini method stands for a high-quality, physical design of Amsterdam’s public space: all streets, squares, parks and public gardens. The Puccini method defines how and with what these are made. By standardising the combination where possible, but also offering space for specialisations and custom work, a typical Amsterdam streetscape is created that forms a natural, cohesive and peaceful backdrop to the bustling urban life.
