An acutely relevant account of recent solutions to flooding in EuropeThis important book tells the multifaceted story of humankind's relationship with flooding, a story that is permeated with a history of both worship and fear. Modern water engineering has turned plains and valleys into fully inhabitable environments. At the same time, those environments have become highly vulnerable to climate change. In efforts to prevent future floods, countries are rediscovering adaptation strategies: making room for flooding, redistributing risks and reconsidering the use and legal status of floodplains. Through historical investigations and six contemporary projects implemented in four European countries, Floodscapes illustrates how flood-mitigation measures can be embedded in local space and culture. Merged with landscape development, agriculture, recreation, nature, and even urban growth, river management becomes a design issue, giving landscape architects and urban designers a prominent role in future transitions. This book provides an in-depth look into the most common natural disaster in the US, and the innovative solutions that have arisen.

The first monograph on the dazzling dexterity of the Indian polymath designerSelected as one of L'Uomo Vogue magazine's 80 most influential creative people, Indian designer Satyendra Pakhalé (born 1967) stands at the intersection of countless design currents, from consumer electronics, transportation and home appliances to furniture, architecture and interior design. MoMA design curator Paola Antonellihas said of his work: "No matter how abstract the form, it shows that Satyendra Pakhalé ... is a champion of a new chapter in the history of design." Satyendra Pakhalé Culture of Creation is the first comprehensive monograph on the designer.

The acclaimed design writer Jeroen Junte traces new themes in Dutch design through 197 innovative and astonishing projects and productsIn recent years, Dutch design has sharply diverged from its previous course. A generation of designers trained in and shaped by Europe's crisis years have chosen new values and starting points; the focus is now on inquisitive and collaborative makers who strive for social relevance and, if possible, impact. This "post-crisis generation" is committed and optimistic, but also pragmatic and in possession of an eye for beauty. Humor and the almost inescapable concept have been exchanged for engagement and free research, and irony and contemplative criticism for open-mindedness and the will to act. In this volume, Jeroen Junte (born 1967) examines craftsmanship and local production as realistic alternatives to deadlocked systems of production and distribution. In addition to art and design, science, technology, social studies and politics are also seen as design arenas.

The 18th century is the most international, most European century in Dutch art history. This book, designed by Irma Boom, with 100 of the most beautiful and surprising objects from the Rijksmuseum's collection of 18th-century art, demonstrates the extensive cultural exchange between the Netherlands and other European countries--for example, the iconic picture of a Dutch girl at breakfast painted in 1756 by Swiss artist Jean-Etienne Liotard. 1700-1800 features paintings, sculptures, pieces of furniture, silver and golden showpieces and other works of art made in the Netherlands by artists from elsewhere as well as highlights from leading art centers: not only in Paris and Rome but also in Neuwied, where Abraham and David Roentgen made Europe's most beautiful furniture. The varied selection of works of art shows the richness and splendor of 18th-century Europe, with a central place for the art and history of the Netherlands.

As one of the greatest pioneers of international conceptual art, Italian artist Piero Manzoni (1933-1963) maintained strong ties with the Netherlands. The unlocking of his intensive correspondence with Rotterdam gallery owner Hans Sonnenberg has revealed the extent of Manzoni's influence on the post-war avant-garde in the Netherlands.During his short artistic career Piero Manzoni produced more than a thousand canvases, sculptures and other objects. He radically rejected the conventional context of the work of art, even integrating the body of the artist in the work. He also created so-called Achromes, literally: 'without colour.' Manzoni considered the surface of the canvas to be a space of unlimited possibilities. It no longer accommodated the illusion of the painted representation, or the artist's personal expressive gesture, but it became an autonomous entity instead. Manzoni's work was of great influence on artists associated with the Dutch nul-groep and the international ZERO movement. Manzoni in Holland is the untold story of the special relationship that one of the most prominent avant-garde artists of the twentieth century had with the Netherlands.

As people make considered choices about their own lives and deaths, cremation has become an increasingly popular option in Europe, representing a recent but accelerating change in funerary practices. What do these spaces actually look like? What role does architecture play in these rituals? Considering precisely these questions, the authors of Goodbye Architecture embarked on a unique tour of European architecture. For the first time, the spaces and practices of cremation--the sites of some of our deepest desires and fears about life and death--receive serious architectural consideration. A wide range of facilities are documented in this volume with extensive illustrations and analyses, providing a glimpse of an essential architecture often hidden in plain sight.
