Summary:

The Zonnestraal Sanatorium is an icon of the Nieuwe Bouwen that is recognized the world over. Designed in 1926 by the architects Jan Duiker and Bernard Bijvoet, the ensemble of buildings is a national monument that enjoys international regard as one of the architectural highlights of the 20th century.
The restoration of Zonnestraal was carried out after design of the architects Hubert-Jan Henket and Wessel de Jonge. The tale of the struggle for recognition of Zonnestraal's enduring value and the complexity of its restoration reads like a thriller, while at the same time it represents a crucial dossier for the steward-ship of monuments of the recent past.
This monograph presents analyses by renowned international experts about the Zonnestraal complex's genesis as well as the architectural, technical, landscape-related and managerial aspects of its restoration. The volume is richly illustrated with historical plans, sketches and photographs that capture the Zonnestraal of today and yesterday in its full glory. --Book Jacket.
