In today's city, mobility is not just a logistical or technocratic task but one of the key conditioning factors of urban development. With city users moving ever faster from place to place, the cityscape becomes defined by infrastructure and traffic flows. Rotterdam, the world's largest port, has been informed by movement and displacement throughout its history--and thus serves as a prime model for In Transit's textual and visual charting of the links between mobility and urban development.

It was their almost obsessive interest in mathematics, fascination with technique and pleasure in designing that caused Moshe Zwarts and Rein Jansma to join architectural forces in 1990. Taking "technical" architecture to a very high and creative level, they have worked in tandem on stadiums, sport complexes and major infrastructure works such as bridges, viaducts, tunnels and motorways. Demonstrated in this book is the genius way in which their respective work syncs up and the processes that brought this pairing together. Included are a conversation between the architects and their colleague, engineer/architect Phillipe Samyn; an investigation of their unusual sources of inspiration and motivation; a complete overview of the work of Zwarts & Jansma Architects; a thematic selection of some 30 works, fully documented in site and floor plans, sections and details; plus a series of original photographs by Robert Hart.

V8 Architects' self-sustaining pavilion blossoms in the desert The Netherlands pavilion for the World Expo in Dubai, designed by V8 Architects, contains a circular climate system that produces water from the desert air, generates its own energy and grows its own food. This book documents the structure.

Innovatively and provocatively, Rembrandt turned the art world upside down in the Golden Age. His poignant works and his life story continue to inspire and move the world 350 years after his death.

In 2019, the museum honours Rembrandt with the exhibition 'Alle Rembrandts'. Never before has the Rijksmuseum presented an exhibition of all of Rembrandt's works from the collection: a one-off exhibition of no less than 400 Rembrandts. Together they paint an unparalleled picture of Rembrandt as a human being, as an artist, as a storyteller and innovator.Jonathan Bikker describes the highs and lows of Rembrandt's life in an accessible way, opening up the genius of Rembrandt's character and the innovative qualities of his work to the general public.
