Summary:
The work of Benthem Crouwel Architects is sober, practical and functional - wholly in line with the Dutch tradition of soundness and reliability. At the same time there is wide-spread admiration for the expressive and aesthetic values of the designs, which achieve maximum effect with a minimum of means. This profusely illustrated publication presents the complete oeuvre spanning twenty years on the basis of five themes. "Living" focuses on the private houses and apartment buildings such as those for Jager, Nieuwland and Soutelande. "Working" gives a picture of such diverse projects as the Amsterdam office for Wagons Lits, the Provincial Hall in Groningen, de Malie Tower in The Hague and the Mors factory in Opmeer. "Shopping" describes recent projects in Leidschendam, Amsterdam Zuid-Oost and Schiphol. "Travelling" likewise features various projects for Schiphol, supplemented with proposals for Amsterdam's North/South underground line and Lelystad airport. Finally in "Visiting" we encounter the firm's many recreational and museological projects such as the popcluster 013 in Tilburg, new major spaces for the RAI and Ahoy' complexes, the so-called cultural strip in Amstelveen, and the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam.

Summary:
Aldo Rossi, after graduating in 1959, worked on the magazine Casabella-Continuità, which he edited from 1961 to 1964. From 1966, the year in which he published his first important text, The architecture of the City, Rossi's early work is a response to the continuity of certain formal patterns in Italian rationalism and the significance of history in architecture. His later work has been shaped by mannerism and a tirelss determination to keep on inventing, showing evident signs of modernism and innovation. In his secondary capacity as designer of interiors, furniture and objects, he has more directly recreated the conventional comfort of his own world of forms.
