Produktbeschreibung
This volume comprises a critical review of exemplary urban and landscape design through 25 recent projects by Dutch architectural practices, both in the Netherlands and abroad. In an interview with Winy Maas, the MVRDV partner is critical of today’s popular grassroots initiatives, versus top-down plans that are able to solve major planning problems like water management and flood control, or mobility and accessibility. With findings to support this argument, the message is to dare to think big, but without losing sight of the small scale. Five main themes define the selection and critical essays: design as kickstart, innovative cities, design as research, station central, and breathing space.
