Architecture in the Netherlands 2009/10

This year’s edition of the highly successful Architecture in the Netherlands has once again been compiled by Samir Bantal, JaapJan Berg, Kees van der Hoeven and Anne Luijten. From the many submissions the editorial team selected the most remarkable examples of architecture realized in the Netherlands over the previous year. The 30 selected projects offer a wide-ranging overview of diverse trends, design strategies and topical themes that moulded the architecture of 2009. The editorial team explores the entire breadth of production, from housing and offi ces to schools and a holiday home, in new construction as well as remarkable transformations of existing buildings. As an annual overview the volume also includes a calendar, shedding light on each month’s most signifi cant news item. The editorial team also draws attention to relevant and urgent developments, placing them on the agenda in a series of essays. The yearbook also presents an overview of the year’s most important prizes, competitions, exhibitions, articles and publications.
With projects by Koen van Velsen, Ira Koers, Claus en Kaan, Dick van Gameren, Mecanoo, Onix, Search, VMX, Doepel Strijkers Architects and others.
