Tetterode

|thumb|right The Amsterdam Type Foundry () was built in 1902 for the Tetterode print company at 163–167 , by the architect J.W.F. Hartkamp in the style of Art Nouveau. The same architect constructed another building at 158–164 in 1912 and redeveloped a former dairy at 157A-161 Bilderdijkstraat between 1920 and 1921. A new building was begun on 148–156 Da Costakade by J.F. van Erven Dorens in 1940 and finished by B. Merkelbach, C. Karsten and P. Elling in 1951, in the style of Nieuwe Zakelijkheid. ==Occupation==

The complex of four large buildings was left derelict in 1981, when Tetterode moved its headquarters to the . Developers made plans to demolish them and construct luxury apartments; in protest, squatters occupied the complex on 17 October 1981. A nightclub began in the basement called Flux; by 1985 it had become (The Bitch), a gay and lesbian disco which took place every Sunday. ==Legalization==

In 1986, the occupation was legalized when the city bought the building. The squatters formed a cooperative, becoming tenants; under the ("hull") contract they are responsible for developing the inside of the buildings and the housing corporation Het Oosten (now ) is responsible for the upkeep of the outside of the building. The tenant was critical of the Tetterode residents association and in 2018 was warned by a judge to stop making comments. He continued to do so and was evicted in 2020. In 2021, the Tetterode live/work complex celebrated its fortieth anniversary and participants held an exhibition at . Projects using the complex included an art gallery, the Eddie the Eagle museum, a hairdresser, a shoemaker, stencil printers and . At that time, around 150 people lived in the buildings; a book entitled (Control without possession) was published both recording the collective history and proposing that live/work buildings could be a useful model for improving Dutch cities. ==Selected works==
