In 2012 seven major Dutch urban development projects are being brought together under one roof at the 5th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam. Design research is being carried out on seven issues and areas, in order to deepen and sharpen the approaches to these challenges at the heart of the political arena. The projects vary from the already existing Zuidas, research into 100,000 jobs for Almere and the Rhine-Meuse Delta to the 2028 Olympics. This book not only documents the results, it also traces how the subject is linked to social and political agendas. The Netherlands in Projects is the seventh installment in the series Design and Politics, an initiative of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment on the relationship between planning, design and politics.

A colorful, thoughtfully designed manifesto on the need to build lighter structuresThis book is a call to build lighter. As a result of the rush to ever bigger cars, condos and airplanes, Dutch writers Adriaan Beukers and Ed van Hinte were forced to confront the combination of the growing costs of converting sufficient amounts of energy for production, distribution and waste disposal and the decreasing availability of raw materials. Beyond their call to build lighter, however, the authors give practical advice for doing so. This richly illustrated book provides an extensive overview of everything involved in creating lightweight structures, offering a dazzling array of examples both from the past and future, covering everything from packaging to architecture, from hoverboards to spacecraft, ranging from abstract phenomena to bio-structures and from ancient discoveries to the newest technologies. Every detail is topped off with thorough but lighthearted explanations.

"With exquisite craftsmanship and dreamy silhouettes, sometimes made from tinkling bells or red carpet, the fashion artists Viktor & Rolf--a real Dutch national treasure--have been creating wearable art for the past 25 years in the most unique and singular style."-Thierry-Maxime Loriot, curator of the exhibition Viktor & Rolf: Fashion Artists 25 YearsSince forming their creative partnership in 1992, Dutch fashion designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren--working together as Viktor&Rolf--have gained critical acclaim for their cerebral, witty and rebellious approach to design, their technical virtuosity and deep knowledge of fashion history. Their spectacular avant-garde creations are showcased in this richly illustrated publication.Throughout their 25-year career, Viktor&Rolf have carved a contradictory identity that pushes the boundaries between art and fashion. Exploring their concept of "wearable art," Viktor&Rolf: Fashion Artists 25 Years features some of the Dutch design duo's most show-stopping works, drawn from the Viktor&Rolf archive as well as museum collections and private collections around the world. It includes an exclusive recent interview by the curator with the designers, a fascinating glossary of Viktor & Rolf and a rich iconography with iconic images by leading artists and photographers such as Cindy Sherman, Andreas Gursky, Herb Ritts, Anton Corbijn, Mert & Marcus, Annie Leibovitz, David LaChapelle, Tim Walker, Nick Knight and Inez & Vinoodh, among others.Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren (both born 1969) graduated in 1992 from ArtEz Institute in Arnhem (The Netherlands) and won the Hyères Festival contest a year later. From 1994, they started to present their haute couture collections as installations, mainly in art galleries. In 2000, they launched their ready-to-wear line for women, and in 2005 they developed their first perfume, Flowerbomb; the following year their first men's perfume, Antidote, was introduced. Presentations of their collections have featured performers such as Tilda Swinton, Tori Amos and Rufus Wainwright. In 2016-17, the exhibition Viktor&Rolf. Fashion Artists was presented at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, followed in 2018 by its adaptation to celebrate the duo's 25th anniversary exhibition at Kunsthal in Rotterdam.

Maaike Schoorel reinvents Netherlandish painting traditionsAmsterdam-based artist Maaike Schoorel (born 1973) belongs to a new generation of painters whose work references the history of Dutch painting.

Bourgeois (1897-1962) was the leading pioneer of the international modernist movement in Belgium, and a key player on the European scene. Despite the refinement of his designs and acuteness of his theoretical insights, Bourgeois has been unjustly forgotten as an architect and urban designer. This book, the first study of Bourgeois' built and textual oeuvre, begins to remedy that.

How museums facilitate their visitor experiences through programming and interior designThis issue of OASE examines how museums not only facilitate but also manipulate encounters between visitors, objects and stories through the staging of their own tours and activities, as well as the intentional design of their entrances, corridors, gift shops, cafes and other spaces.

On the intersection between ecology and aesthetics in architectureThis issue of OASE interrogates how ecological concerns materialize in architecture and design. Through a series of concrete projects, the contributions in this issue explore the field of tension between architectural aesthetics and issues of energy, technology and materiality.

Urban development projects as a means for healing landscapes and stunted citiesThe Internationale Bauausstellung (IBA), an urban planning initiative started in 1901, has been transforming the former mining region of Parkstad in the Netherlands since 2013 by stimulating the local economy and regional planning initiatives through urban and rural interventions from Piet Oudolf, among others.

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.

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

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.

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.
