Architecture in the Netherlands

The highly popular Architecture in the Netherlands once again presents a selection of the previous year's most remarkable architecture on Dutch soil. In making their selection of more than 30 projects that were realized in 2004, the editors have sought to offer a broad representation of various currents, design strategies, building types and topical themes that were characteristic for architecture in 2004.
