OMI’s first exhibition at its new location in the Oude Westen – First Impressions – explores the immediate surrounding, as a prelude to the manifestation West Side Stories. Architects Nina Aalbers & Ferry in ‘t Veld (ArchitectuurMaken), Roxane van Hoof & Claudio Saccucci (Studio Verter) and artist Charlie Koolhaas show their impressions of the Oude Westen neighbourhood.

All photos were taken with a disposable camera on a one-day trip. The result consists of visual stories about the architecture, public spaces and daily scenes of this quirky city quarter.
