Dutch Landscape is de ultieme introductie op het Nederlandse landschap voor iedereen die er voor studie, vak of liefhebberij mee te maken heeft. Grotendeels gemaakt door de mensen die er wonen, is het landschap van Nederland vooral een project, een work in progress, dat voortdurend aanpassing en onderhoud vraagt – al is het maar omdat het anders onder water loopt.

Dutch Landscape behandelt alle Nederlandse landschapstypen, van duinlandschappen tot veenontginningen, van zandgronden tot droog...

Magali Reus. Rode Rozen toont de buitengewone artistieke praktijk van deze internationaal geprezen kunstenaar uit Londen en winnaar van de prestigieuze Prix de Rome 2015. De publicatie bevat een scala aan recent werk. Het werk van Reus verkent onze relatie met utilitaire objecten en de onlosmakelijke context van de consumptiemaatschappij. Haar virtuoze objecten lijken functioneel, maar onthullen niet expliciet wat hun werkelijke functie is. Door onze relatie met objecten te onderzoeken, zoekt...

More recently, the Museum has been enriched by another treasure by the Dutch architectural firm KAAN Architecten. Their restoration work and new design combine a contemporary allure with the glorious but somewhat neglected beauty of the 19th-century landmark. Completely conceiled within the existing museum, the new...

A map is a visual story of the world. It feeds our imagination and shapes our view of the world. A standard atlas, however, predominantly tells only one story, that of the nation-state. It depicts a world in which people are uniformly packed into national containers, enclosed by borders, and in which migration is often represented as threatening invasion arrows.

Free the Map goes beyond this narrow, state-centric cartography. The book argues for a new cartographic story: a Hermes – the gran...

The city is not only the habitat of people, but also of plants and animals. Building Urban Nature is a plea for nature-inclusive, bioreceptive architecture that inspires designers to give nature a place in their work.

Through the presentation of realized projects, the book shows how the values of nature can be incorporated into our buildings. It discusses the conditions under which flora and fauna settle on and around our buildings, and the design methods, strategies and techniques that can h...
