Dudok door Iwan Baan - Iwan Baan, Lara Voerman - Hardcover (9789462085817)

For Dutch see below - English – Top photographer Iwan Baan reflects on the work of renowned architect Willem Dudok. A century on, Dudok's way of designing continues to be attractive and relevant: space-conscious, hyper-contextual and environment-loving. With the photographs in this book, Baan breaks with a tradition. Rather than static architecture photographs, he includes images that reveal the whole story: the story of Dudok as a designer of landscapes in which people can live, work, mourn and learn. The impressive aerial and street photography in this book show how this versatile architect and urban designer expanded cities throughout the Netherlands on the basis of their individual DNA and placed buildings in their environments in a way that felt entirely natural. The texts were written by architecture historian Lara Voerman. - Dutch - Topfotograaf Iwan Baan beschouwt het werk van toparchitect Willem Dudok.

Imagination and participation - Joyce Sternheim, Rob Bruijnzeels - eBook (9789462086883)

How can the public library fulfil its classic social mission in our individualized and sometimes fragmented society? And how does such a library fit into the urban public space, in which commerce and consumption seem to reign supreme?

In Imagination and Participation librarians Rob Bruijnzeels and Joyce Sternheim examine the most important transitions in public library work.

The authors have been working on the transition of library work and its consequences for the architecture and design of library buildings for quite some time. They…

Noise landscape - Benedikt Boucsein - eBook (9789462083707)

The expansive areas around large airports, affected by noise, infrastructure, and transient forms of architecture, have until now not been researched as a phenomenon. But these noise landscapes are emerging worldwide, often surpassing the neighbouring city in size, and sometimes rivalling it in economic importance. On the basis of eight European case studies (Amsterdam, Zurich, London-Heathrow, Frankfurt, Munich, Madrid and the two Paris airports) this book provides the first account of how these landscapes emerged as the result of technical determinations, what is taking place in them, and how they can be interpreted. The book is the outcome of several years of research by the chair of Kees Christiaanse at the ETH Zurich.
