Bureau B+B defined the preconditions for the landscape integration. The widening of the canal involves the relocation of the Eastern dike. Within this dike, bunkers of the nineteenth-century military defence line and a state monument, the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie, lay hidden in the landform. This military defence line consisted of a series of bunkers, hiding places and fortresses spanning from North to South throughout the entire country. Between these bunkers a network of fields, dikes and waterworks formed a wide strip of land that could be entirely flooded, preventing possible enemies from the East from entering the West of the country. Up until today, the defence line remains nearly entirely intact. Removing these bunkers would have destroyed the continuity of the defence line and therefore set a precedent. Simply relocating these objects would be considered the falsification of history. Therefore, the objects must be set aside in a manner that clearly illustrates that they have been moved. They were carefully moved, twisted and turned. By taking these measures, the widening of the canal becomes a legible part of the landscape’s history. The casemates linger as ‘Objets Trouvés’ along the canal, creating a museum landscape of the recent history.
