The popularity and influence of the Dutch's sensibility in architecture has grown to a global force. A whole generation of young Dutch architects - whose work is characterized by inventiveness, unexpected use of new materials and dynamic form - have created a body of work over the 1990s that is resonating in architecture schools and publications around the world, and that has been described as the "Second Modernity". This title presents the work of 14 leading studios in the Netherlands, featuring recent projects from each one accompanied by an analytical text.

Superdutch : New Architecture in the Netherlands

Lootsma, Bart

Gardners Books

Propelled into the limelight by the success of Rem Koolhaas, Dutch architecture is achieving popularity and influence across the globe. Fostered by a cultural interest in architecture (and a government willing to support it), the Netherlands is producing a generation of architects whose work is characterized by inventiveness, whimsy, creative use of materials, and dynamic formal experimentation. Koolhaas and a subsequent generation of Dutch designers routinely get the most sought-after commissions and are among the most widely published in the world. This small yet extremely influential handful of practitioners is shaping the future direction of architecture.?
A phone-book-size collection, SuperDutch features all of the key figures in Dutch architecture today. Their work is presented through detailed drawings and stunning photography.

Conceptualized by Thomas Demand himself, this book includes three components: a newspaper, a magazine and a book--each of them published on different paper. The newspaper presents the artist's older works; the magazine, printed on glossy paper, introduces new photo works in color and stills from the film Trick; the book portion documents the exhibition architecture. B&K + is a small book, but one of the most comprehensive views of Demand's work per square footage.

In the Art of the Accident the concept of 'accident' is not only based on the phenomenon that each machine brings with it its own form of disaster. It also implies that in a world of network technologies, the old distinction between form which is timeless and processes which are time-dependent is becoming increasingly unclear. The art accidentalis recognizes the creative potential of the accident, the fall, and the instability of digital media. The book maps the transformation of space, time, bodies, machines and architectures through the conceptual and non-instrumental use of the computer. The Art of the Accident accompanies the Dutch Electronic Art Festival and prominently features the transArchitectures exhibition through projects, essays, interviews and commentaries.

In an old printing shop in Rotterdam, MVRDV produces designs and studies in the fields of architecture, urbanism, and landscape design. Founded in Rotterdam in 1991 by Winy Maas, Jacob van Rijs, and Nathalie de Vries, MVRDV has become a household name in the Netherlands and beyond. With experimental research projects and mind-bending architecture, MVRDV has carved itself a niche in the international scene over the past 10 years. Classic projects include the gravity-defying WoZoCo old age home in Amsterdam, the headquarters for public broadcasting company VPRO in Hilversum, the Dutch pavilion for World Expo 2000 in Hanover, and the recently completed Housing Silo in Amsterdam. The firm's experimental research projects on density, using a method of shaping space through complex amounts of data, have resulted in the publication FARMAX, the traveling exhibition Metacity/Datatown, and Pig City and Costa Iberica. This publication examines the context of MVRDV's research-based thinking and radical design strategies. Texts by a number of international critics, philosophers, and architects probe into the whys and wherefores of MVRDV's architecture, the potential of the data-scapes, and the secret of the firm's success. Contributors compare MVRDV with other generations of architects and describe how new concepts are born.

Conventions In Contemporary Art arose from the highly entertaining and much-discussed series of debates organized by Witte de With in 2001. Without lapsing into dull theoryspeak, it explores and questions the routines and fashions that dominate the art world today. Catherine David and Iwona Blazwick explore the curator's heightened profile; Jeroen Boomgaard and Koen Brams tackle theory and art; Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby question the relationship between design and art; Bart Lootsma and Camiel van Winkel look at art in public spaces; and Janneke Wesseling and Kitty Zijlmans discuss the position of non-western art in the western world.
