This document provides a summary of a master's thesis project focused on redeveloping the center of the Teleport Area in Amsterdam to make it more efficient, continuous, and livable. The study examines the urban context through analysis of zoning, infrastructure, and adjacent areas. Design objectives are to re-connect, intensify use, and humanize the space. A conceptual masterplan proposes a mixed-use, multi-layered approach with housing, offices, shops, and other facilities organized around optimized infrastructure and public spaces. A cluster within the masterplan is then designed in more detail to demonstrate feasibility, focusing on light/visibility, flexibility of mixed programs. Finally, a sample building within the cluster is designed to balance connectivity with
