Summary:
Presents an overview of the hundred-year old Dutch private press-movement: a relatively small, yet exceedingly dynamic, creative and influential part of the Dutch book culture. Passionate booklovers were and still are producing extraordinary editions at home. These books appeared in limited editions, printed on extraordinary paper, often with specially created fonts and designed with care. This illustrated survey starts with the pioneers J.C. Bloem, J. Greshoff, P.N. van Eyck and J.F. van Royen – continues via internationally known artists such as S.H. de Roos and H.N. Werkman to the pragmatic printers who now operate in the margins of the book trade. Edited by Paul van Capelleveen en Clemens de Wolf.

Summary:
BIG is maybe the first Danish architectural office to be truly ‘glocal’ in the sense of both anchored in Copenhagen and clearly rooted in a particular cultural and political context – and at the same time being the most globally acting architectural office in Denmark. They may be regarded as one of the first real successful exponents for a new post-national identity operating within a new set of blurred cultural boundaries. Projects include The Danish Expo Pavillion, Helsingor Psychiatric Hospital, Sjakket Youth Centre, The Faroe Islands Educational Centre, Arlanda Airport Hotel, Shenzhen International Energy Mansion. Includes an essay by Geoff Manaugh and an interview with Bjarke Ingels by Jeffrey Inaba. Introduction by Boris Broman Jensen.

Summary:
In The Dutch Urban Block, Susanne Komossa uses typomorphological research to analyse the development of the Dutch urban block as an architectural model for the past four hundred years. The urban block is the link between city dwellers' everyday lives and the urban public realm. This amply documented study calls for the small-scale urban economy and the public realm to be treated as essential components of the city when new urban plans and models are developed.

Le logement en France est-il plus cher, moins bien conçu, moins bien construit, moins bien fini qu’ailleurs en Europe ? Un seul OUI serait caricatural et trop généraliste. Pourtant, les comparaisons fréquentes apportées par les architectes français travaillant à l’étranger et les architectes étrangers impliqués dans des projets français se rejoignent sur certains points. C’est pour en vérifier la pertinence et pour pousser plus loin la réflexion que, pour la deuxième année consécutive, après Housing Platform 1, à l’initiative d’ING Real Estate Development France avec le soutien du Pavillon de l’Arsenal, rejoint en 2009 par la Fédération des Promoteurs Constructeurs d’Île-de-France, s’est tenue Housing Platform 2. Cette manifestation qui se déroulait le 23 novembre 2009 a réuni autour de cinq tables rondes une soixantaine de professionnels, parmi lesquels des aménageurs, des maîtres d’ouvrage, des promoteurs, des architectes, des entreprises, des ingénieurs, des économistes...
