Hans Ibelings, Bart Lootsma, Ton Verstegen (editors) Architecture in the Netherlands Paperback, colour and b/w illustrations, 160 pages, 24, 32 cm.
The survey of Dutch architecture presented in this Yearbook ranges from a colossal school building by Herman Hertzberger to a Wild West house by John Körmeling, from a simple but elegantly designed Vietnamese snack bar by J.P. Moehrlein to a delicate office pavilion by Steven Holl for Het Oosten housing corporation, from carefully conceived housing by Claus & Kaan, Frits van Dongen and DKV, among others, to a number of buildings of strikingly unconventional appearance, such as Bosch Haslett's accumulation of floors and the thatched roofs of Drost & van Veen. The 1999 edition further features work by architects such as Wiel Arets, Benthem Crouwel, Wim van den Bergh en Ger Widdershoven, Bolles+Wilson, Jo Coenen, Erick van Egeraat, Teun Koolhaas, Köther en Salman, Neutelings Riedijk Architecten, Meyer en Van Schooten, Michiel Snelder en UN Studio. In addition to the selected projects, all abundantly documented in word and picture, there are thought-provoking essays on recent trends by the yearbook's editors: Bart Lootsma analyses the large-scale interventions currently under way around major Dutch railway stations, Ton Verstegen reflects on the lead-up to the Fifth Report on Spatial Planning and Hans Ibelings describes the various manifestations of new traditionalism in Dutch architecture. |
