Living in the Lowlands offers a kaleidoscopic overview of one of the most important themes in Dutch architecural history: living and the home environment.

Specific periods are addressed on the basis of selected projects, among wich: Amsterdam's Vondelstraat by P.J.H. Cuijpers, Plan Zuid by Berlage, Rotterdam's Pendrecht and Alexanderpolder neighbourhoods, Almere and Ypenburg. Utopian designs by the architects H.T. Wijdeveld, Cornelis van Eesteren and OMA are also included.

Fifteen 'domestic scenes' illustrate important points in the history of housing construction in the Netherlands since 1850.
Each 'domestic landscape'is described by a different author in a brief and sometimes highly personal text, illustrated with visual documentation from the collection of the Netherlands Architecture Institute.

Living in the Lowlands accompanies the new permanent exhibition in the Netherlands Architecture Institute, Rotterdam.
