The new town of Almere lies on artificial land and was founded in 1977. In the 1990s the critical mass of inhabitants was reached and the municipality decided to finally insert a centre into the town. An ambitious masterplan was made by OMA and filled with buildings by internationally renowned architects.
Lake Weerwater is increasingly becoming the heart of the city centre. Several new buildings were erected on its southern shore in 2022 as part of the Floriade horticultural exhibition, including an art pavilion floating in the lake.
