On the 75th anniversary of World War II's end, architect Jacques Prins reflects on the past through a tour of Europe's war monuments2020 marks 75 years since the end of World War II. In Architecture and Remembrance, Dutch architect Jacques Prins (born 1955) brings together 40 postwar monuments across Europe, documenting each site through text and photography. Each site is represented by drawings that depict the area during World War II and in the present moment, allowing readers to experience the impactful aura of these monuments even at a distance. This collection reveals the various strategies that different designers have employed over time in their quest to preserve the memories of the past long after those who experienced such events have passed. History professor Rob van der Laarse and heritage advisor Max Meijer offer thoughtful and informative commentary in addition to Prins' selection.

A comprehensive look at the new Amsterdam Courthouse building, from funding and construction to maintenance and property managementDutch architectural firm KAAN designed the new Amsterdam Courthouse as a stately yet inviting institution for public discourse.

An imaginative inquiry into the spatial implications of 20th-century games, from doll houses to SimCityThis volume examines architecture and urban design games that have been conceived and created by architects, urban designers, artists and game developers since the end of the 20th century, from doll's houses to construction games and city building games, from SimCity to Block by Block. Serious Fun examines games from both a technical and an architectural-critical point of view. As much attention is paid to the games themselves--the way they look, their construction and rules--as to their sociospatial implications, addressing the following questions: what perception of, and interaction with, the built environment do they express? What messages do the games communicate? How critical and innovative are the underlying concepts? Serious Fun presents games and playfulness as tools worthy of earnest investigation, concluding with a triptych about alternative forms of representation and communication in architecture and urban design.Cover image by Zupagrafika

Guiding readers through the built environment of Europe's North SeaThe North Sea is one of the world's most industrialized seas, in which the Netherlands plays a central role.

Europa's periode van grote economische en demografische groei is voorbij. Daar mee is er ook een einde gekomen aan de groei van onze stedelijke agglomeraties. Waar in Latijns-Amerikaans of in Aziaische steden de grenzen van bebouwing steeds opschuiven, liggen deze in Europa vast. De ruimtelijke opgave wordt daarmee fundamenteel anders. Niet langer gaat het om het bebouwen, maar om het verduurzamen van ruimte. De nieuwe ruimtelijke opgave betreft het beheren, herstructureren en waar nodig verdichten dan wel verdunnen van de bestaande bebouwing.The Flexible City analyseert dezeontwikkeling en - belangrijker - beschrijft een instrumentarium dat fl exibel genoeg is om deze nieuwe opgave tot een succes te maken. Europese regio's worden met elkaar vergeleken, overeenkomsten en trends worden benoemd en ruim 50 concrete voorbeelden worden gedetailleerd beschreven. Een inspirerend handboek voor eenieder die werkt aan de toekomst van de Europese stad.Tom Bergevoet en Maarten van Tuijl werken binnen bureau temp.architecture. urbanism aan architectuur, stedenbouw en onderzoek gericht op stedelijke transformaties.

OASE 95 onderzoekt de cross-culturele omstandigheden waarin architecten, stedenbouwkundigen en landschapsarchitecten werken. Het onderzoek richt zich in het bijzonder op architecten die in een omgeving werkzaam zijn waar de cultuur grote verschillen vertoont met die van hun thuisland. Hiermee wil OASE bijdragen aan het hedendaagse debat over de effecten van globalisering en transculturele processen in de architectuur en stedenbouw. In de typerende OASE-stijl wordt een historische analyse gekoppeld aan eigentijdse reflectie en projectdocumentatie. Hierbij wordt in het bijzonder ingezoomd op de manier waarop het werken in een andere omgeving, met andere omstandigheden en krachten, de keuze voor werkwijze en instrumenten van architecten beïnvloed.Historische casestudies over de benaderingen van Constantinos Doxiadis, Michel Ecochard, Jaqueline Tyrwhitt, Jane Drew en Maxwell Fry worden geconfronteerd met reflecties over hedendaagse ontwerpbenaderingen die zich bewegen tussen verschillende culturen.

On the Threshold of Beauty: Philips and the Origins of Electronic Music in the Netherlands, 1925-1965 is een zeer goed gedocumenteerde, rijk geïllustreerde en zeer leesbare studie. Op basis van nieuw en origineel onderzoek, richt het boek zich op zowel specialisten als een lekenpubliek. Het beschrijft de geschiedenis van een muzikale periode waarin een geheel nieuwe wereld van elektronische geluiden en compositorische opvattingen is ontwikkeld en onderzocht, variërend van extreme avant-garde tot de allereerste experimenten met elektronische pop; van de muziek voor het iconische Philips Paviljoen op de Wereldtentoonstelling van 1958 in Brussel tot elektronische soundtracks voor film.De auteur bezit de gevoeligheid van een componist die nodig is voor een diepgaand begrip van de conceptuele kaders van de elektronische muziek die ontstond in laboratoria van commerciële bedrijven, wetenschappelijke instellingen en particuliere studio. Hij kijkt naar het baanbrekende werk van Henk Badings, Jan Boerman, Ton Bruynèl, Tom Dissevelt, Gottfried Michael Koenig, Ton de Leeuw, Walter Maas, Dick Raaijmakers, Hermann Scherchen, Leopold Stokowski, Edgard Varèse en Roelof Vermeulen.Kees Tazelaar is een componist van elektro-akoestische muziek en hoofd van het Instituut voor Sonologie aan het Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag, Nederland.

2013 is officially Frans Hals Year, marking exactly 100 years since the Frans Hals Museum opened its doors. The most important exhibition in this jubilee year is 'Frans Hals: Eye to Eye with Rembrandt, Rubens and Titian', in which key works by Frans Hals are presented amid paintings by such famed colleagues as Titian, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Jordaens and Rubens.In this eponymous publication, all the works in the exhibition are presented side by side, enabling the reader to compare the masterpieces and see how the artists inspired one another. These unique confrontations of master painters are essential to an understanding of seventeenth-century art. Famous painters, after all, often produced their works in response to one another, with the aim of surpassing the other and creating something unique. International specialists cast new light on Hals's virtuosity, his role in the seventeenth century and his artistic relationship with his colleagues in Antwerp (Rubens, Van Dyck) and Amsterdam (Rembrandt).

The renovation of buildings which are past their prime can no longer be regarded as a necessary evil that costs money and causes inconvenience. Increasingly, it is being acknowledged that to renovate a building and its façade, also known as the 'envelope', can hold out great advantages. Not only does it improve the quality of life and the performance, it can save energy and increase the building's market value. This makes renovation an interesting proposition for owners, users and architects alike. The façade research group at Delft University of Technology, working with the Dutch façade builders' association VMRG, carried out a three-year research project that yielded a number of basic requests, strategies and practical examples which it then developed together with several enlightened companies.Reimagining the Envelope reports on this exchange of ideas between science and practice. The result is a variety of strategies for renovating the envelope and examples of successful projects. It also presents a number of far-reaching design ideas.

Maquettes hebben een niet te onderschatten bijdrage geleverd aan het architectonisch discours van de afgelopen decennia. Als voorbeeld noemt auteur Christophe Van Gerrewey bijvoorbeeld de maquettes van Rem Koolhaas' bureau OMA. Zo hebben hun twee gipsen modellen van de Très Grande Bibliothèque in Parijs een nieuw inzicht gegeven in een ruimte, die zowel als massa en als contramassa gelezen kan worden. Het model van de cruiseterminal in Zeebrugge heeft op zijn beurt de kracht van de iconische vorm verduidelijkt. In deze OASE is er ook veel aandacht voor de (architectonische) maquettes die in het oeuvre van verschillende kunstenaars een belangrijke rol spelen, zoals in het werk van Mike Kelley en Thomas Demand. Deze maquettes zijn bijna nooit bedoeld om elders op een andere schaal gerealiseerd te worden; ze werken direct met de dualistische connotaties van de maquette. Hoewel beide disciplines de maquette vanuit onderling sterk verschillende motieven inzetten, is de redactie van OASE ervan overtuigd dat de kruisbestuiving die hier plaatsvindt nieuwe inzichten over de betekenis en mogelijkheden van de maquette zal genereren. Met bijdragen van Jacob Bil, Adam Caruso, Thomas Demand, Job Floris, Kersten Geers, Christophe Van Gerrewey, Anne Holtrop, Christian Hubert, Junya Ishigami, Krijn de Koning, Véronique Patteeuw, Bas Princen, Hans Teerds, Milica Topalovic en Stefaan VervoortOASE is een onafhankelijk, internationaal, tweetalig (Nederlands/ Engels) tijdschrift over architectuur, stedenbouw en landschapsontwerp. Elk nummer is gewijd aan een actueel thema en biedt een belangrijke bijdrage aan het internationale vakdebat. OASE verschijnt drie keer per jaar.

Can real architecture grow in our own backyard? Can architects grow by working there? In Deventer, the Netherlands, a routine real estate deal and demolition became the site of innovation and new intelligence in urban design. Not all of the endings were happy ones. This is the story of how it happened. As architecture dissolves into the blurry middle ground between individual art practice and urban planning, the profession¿s discourse falls apart. We lack a vocabulary for this hugely important middle ground: projects that are neither local nor global, neither temporary nor permanent, neither original (in the protean sense) nor strictly an act of preservation. The profession¿s outmoded dichotomies ¿ local/global, temporary/permanent, new/somehow-not ¿ obscure the daily challenge of real working architects. In the small Dutch city of Deventer, a pair of projects recently emerged that help map this middle ground: the creation and sale of an unusual development plan for a disused mid- 20th century hospital complex; and the transformation of a 1956 Catholic hospital monastery into a community health center, Jozef Health Center Deventer. Deventer tells the human story that drove these two projects to their checkered ends, and connects them to broader changes in the professions as a first step toward finding a vocabulary for the new scale of change in architecture.

"An assessment of the diversity and creativity of type and how design makes sense of communicating text." -TyperoomTheory of Type Design, by internationally renowned Dutch graphic designer and typographer Gerard Unger (born 1942), is the first complete and accessible theory of the breathtakingly varied field of typography. "Of all designed objects letters are probably the most pervasive," as Unger explains at the beginning of his study. "Very familiar yet amazingly diverse in their appearance ... there seems to be no limit to human ingenuity when it comes to varying letterforms."Unger approaches the diversity and creativity of the field with a wide-ranging, reflective, critical theory of how we design and make sense of text. The history of typography is surveyed, from cuneiform script to Wim Crouwel's New Alphabet and today's digital developments, and explored in relation to how our eyes and brain process various letter shapes in order to understand text.This volume consists of 24 concise chapters, each clearly describing a different aspect of type design (from practical considerations like spacing and rhythm, legibility, size and italics to more ineffable considerations like personality and preference). This theoretical material is illuminated by more than 200 illustrations and practical examples, and an extensive glossary succinctly explains terminology and key ideas.Internationally oriented, and taking into consideration the past, present and future of typography, Theory of Type Design will be an indispensible resource for graphic design students, professionals, and those with a general interest in text and printed matter.

A career-spanning inventory of the iconoclastic designer's avant-garde creationsCovering more than five decades, this publication gives a dazzling review of the great enfant terrible of French fashion, Jean Paul Gaultier (born 1952). Displaying Gaultier's oeuvre alphabetically--including iconic pieces such as Madonna's corsets and Kylie Minogue's stage costumes--Jean Paul Gaultier: From A to Z examines the designer's singular aesthetic from all angles while exploring his different influences: from cinema to dance, from Frida Kahlo to sailors.Presenting avant-garde fashion imbued with humanism, Gaultier challenged, reinterpreted and transgressed not only the codes of haute couture and ready-to-wear but also those of our society, creating an inclusive fashion informed by his belief that beauty assumes multitudinous forms. The street, one of the main inspirations for his prophetic vision of a society that celebrates diversity, is for him a realm where integration and multiculturalism, androgyny and metamorphoses, women of power and men-as-objects cross, inspiring the unique creations through the exceptional know-how of the haute couture workshops of his Maison de couture. Whether it is cinema or men wearing skirts, punks or Parisiennes, animals or nature, Gaultier's sources of inspiration are endless and inexhaustible.Jean Paul Gaultier: From A to Z is a timely tribute to--as well as an essential review of--one of fashion's true greats.

In Guido van der Werve's cinematic universe, romance, nature and the sublime collideDutch filmmaker Guido van der Werve (born 1977) is known for his dry humor embracing the beauty-cum-absurdity of human existence. Palpable Futility accompanies an exhibition at Eye Filmmuseum Amsterdam.

Designing Change collects in-depth interviews with 12 leading urban planners, architects and designers concerning the rapid increase in urbanization in the 21st century. By way of extensively illustrated case studies (with over 400 images in color and black and white) and theoretical debates, the contributors grapple with the effective dead ends of postwar urbanism and discuss new viewpoints for imagining the future of planning. The publication was initiated and led by Eric Firley, associate professor at the University of Miami School of Architecture, who is known for leading the Urban Handbook textbook series published by Wiley. The interview subjects selected for this book include Bruno Fortier, Winy Maas, Wenyi Zhu, Christopher Choa, Adriaan Geuze and Paola Viganò, who come from a variety of architectural and engineering backgrounds such as infrastructure, civil engineering and neighborhood-based master planning.

A look at the marketing, packaging and design choices that transform food into productsOn a daily basis, tens of thousands of food products fight for our attention in supermarkets. It's a miracle that we manage to choose what we want from the overwhelming supply. Designers play a crucial role in this. They package food and transform it into products that appeal, inform and seduce us. The designer is the indispensable mediator between the producer and us, the consumer. As artisans of alienation, designers make up stories, create illusions and dream images.Food Is Fiction places these stories in the context of the rise of the food industry and contemplating the future of food. Drawing on historical and contemporary visual material ranging from early advertising for classic brands such as Van Houten and Van Nelle to "food pornography," astronaut food and gastrophysics, Linda Roodenburg (author of the Rotterdam Cook Book) shows how the designer's language conforms to the spirit of the times, uses stereotypes and prejudices or anticipates social changes.

Exceptional life-size portraiture by great masters such as Claude Monet, Edvard Munch, Rembrandt and VelázquezThe Rijksmuseum is celebrating the completed restoration of Rembrandt's magnificent portraits of the exuberantly dressed Marten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit with a comprehensive publication (and accompanying exhibition) dedicated to life-size portraiture. Over the centuries, powerful monarchs, eccentric aristocrats and rich burghers commissioned portraits of themselves arrayed in all their finery and preferably life-size, from the world's most famous painters. This book presents exceptional life-size portraits by great masters, including Lucas Cranach the Elder, Anthony van Dyck, Frans Hals, Claude Monet, Edvard Munch, Rembrandt and Velázquez. In an essay, Rijksmuseum curator Jonathan Bikker describes the history, form and function of these portraits and recounts biographical details and lots of juicy gossip about the sitters. Also included are the splendid portraits of Marten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit that were recently acquired by the Rijksmuseum and the Louvre.
