Foodhallen

This guide to Foodhallen in Amsterdam opens on a Sunday in January 2010, when a group of artists and activists broke into this former tram depot — not to steal anything, but to save it. It traces the building's decades as a working depot, its abandonment in 1996, and the vegetable gardens, theatre performances, and even a swimming pool the squatters built inside to keep it alive. It follows the development company they helped form to negotiate the building's future with the city.
