The Valley

  • Photographer
    Anna Wacker

The dramatic, geology-inspired, plant-covered Valley stands out in Amsterdam’s Zuidas neighbourhood with its three towers of 67, 81, and 100 metres and its spectacular cantilevered apartments. Named the best new skyscraper in the world in the 2021 Emporis Skyscraper Awards, the building combines offices, shops, catering, cultural facilities, and apartments. The Valley incorporates insights in the field of sustainability, technology, and health. It is described as "an oasis in the stone desert on the Zuidas."

Anna Wacker is an award winning photographer based in Hamburg,Germany. Her work has evolved from capturing the built world to uncovering the "soul within the structure." Moving beyond simple documentation, Anna reinterprets architecture as a living, breathing landscape. To her, a building is never static; it is a "guardian," a "creature," or a "universal mystery" waiting to be revealed. By blending sharp geometry with dramatic light, she seeks the intersection of the tangible and the imaginative.
