Although internationally known for his furniture, for his iconic Schroder House and for his relationship to the members of De Stijl, Gerrit Th. Rietveld developed a prolific career as an architect after his Neo-Plasticist phase in the 1920s. This double issue of "2G. International Architecture Review" takes another look at Rietveld's domestic built work from his first Neo-Plasticist buildings of the 1920s to his death in 1964. In it, we discover a trajectory which, without renouncing the Neo-Plasticist precepts of his early days, gradually takes on a more domestic and everyday cast in direct rapport with his clients. Along with his endeavours as a cabinetmaker, the issue of suburban single-family housing constituted a fundamental mainstay in his trajectory, one in which the everyday is intermingled with spatial exploration. The revisit to this less-known oeuvre of Rietveld's is preceded by essays by Marijke Kuper (editor of this issue), Hans Ibelings and Wim Quist, and culminates in the nexus section with various texts by the architect himself.

Almost four years since its initial appearance, Hans Ibelings' essay on the new tendency towards abstract, neutral architecture has lost none of its relevance. His identification and examination of the last word in modern architecture of the post-war International Style stands strong in projects by OMA, Jean Nouvel, Dominique Perrault, Herzog & de Meuron, and Toyo Ito, and is well understood in relation to one of the dominant forces of the present time: globalization. This enlarged edition of Supermodernism includes a new final chapter in which Ibelings charts the latest examples of supermodernism, as well as a revised introduction and conclusion in which he responds to the numerous reactions his provocative stance has triggered.

The artificial landscape: Contemporary architecture, urbanism, and landscape architecture in the Netherlands

This monograph gives a comprehensive overview of the designs and built work of Arne van Herk and Sabien de Kleijn, from 1973 until the present day. Besides architecture, urban design, interiors and furniture, the book dwells at length on the informal and conceptual projects--films, clothing, everyday objects--developed by van Herk & de Kleijn throughout their career. Their joint oeuvre is explored in a continuous narrative that makes no distinction between the ingenious rooflights of their own houseboat and a major housing project like Haarlemmerhouttuinen in Amsterdam, and focuses just as easily on their ultra-light half-meter-high platform shoes as on one of their interiors. If the significance of their work lies in their liberal concern for everyday things, this volume emphasizes their approach as one that eschews image in favor of imagination, of giving shape to the things with which we surround ourselves. The visual narrative, with explanatory texts by Arne van Herk and Sabien de Kleijn, is complemented by an in-depth essay by Hans Ibelings and a foreword by the landscape architect Adriaan Geuze.

Superstudio, and one of its founding members Adolfo Natalini, triggers great nostalgia among modern architecture students. This book, with essays by Natalini, Peter Lang, Hans Ibelings, and Hilde Heynen, situates Superstudio in the history of radical architecture. Yet what is radical architecture?

This monograph by architecture critic Hans Ibelings sheds light on the little-known work of Dutch architect Gert Boon, who steadfastly adhered to his principle of seeking coherence through geometry. Belonging to the same generation as celebrated names like Aldo van Eyck, Herman Hertzberger and Piet Blom, he held very decided views but rarely aired them in public. Boon’s work and career are documented here on the basis of his projects and archive at the Netherlands Architecture Institute, with specially commissioned photographs of buildings and interiors, such as holiday homes in Bergen, a school in Marken, a large housing complex in Arnhem and private houses.

The Architecture Observer

The first monograph by Tham &amp; Videgård Arkitekter, an architectural duo that has become leaders of a new generation of Swedish architects in a mere ten years of working together. Though the pair nods to vernacular Nordic tradition with the use of wood, painted floors and decorative tile, their look is lucid, international and playfully geometric. This volume documents residences, offices, university buildings and schools with dynamic photography, renderings, schematics and models. As Hans Ibelings notes in one of the book's essays, the team is neither stuck in the functionalist past nor preoccupied with a conceptual image. Printed on special lightweight paper. In English and Swedish.
