Summary:
This book provides a clear insight into the role and significance of Rem Koolhaas and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture. Authors of international repute from beyond the province of architecture examine OMA's work in the light of social and economic developments. The many facets of Koolhaas come under review: his take on architectural theory and the conceptual apparatus he employs, his vision of urbanism and the contemporary city, the designs put into practice by OMA and the research projects of the AMO think-tank, which exist outside the immediate boundaries of architecture. Essays by Aaron Betsky, Ian Buruma, H.J.A. Hofland, Okwui Enwezor, Neil Leach, Matthew Stadler, Bruce Sterling, and Bart Verschaffel. Excerpts by Jean Attali, René Boomkens, Fredric Jameson, Fritz Neumeyer, Michael Sorkin, Anthony Vidler, and Sarah Whiting.

Price:

(available in store)
Summary:
It was their almost obsessive interest in mathematics, fascination with technique and pleasure in designing that caused Moshé Zwarts and Rein Jansma to join forces in 1990. Given the sheer size of their output, it is impossible not to be confronted regularly with projects by Zwarts & Jansma. The major infrastructure works like bridges, viaducts, tunnels, stadiums and sports complexes loom large in our daily environment. What we often do not see is how ingeniously this work fits together and what processes brought it to that stage. In a conversation with collegue-architect Philippe Samyn this aspect is discussed in particular. Zwarts and Jansma themselves also describe in this book their often unusual sources of inspiration and motive forces. Yet for all that, the design process they follow is a rational one that since the 1980s has consistently featured the computer as a design resource. The book gives a complete overview of the work of Zwarts & Jansma Architects. A selection of thirty works are fully documented in site plans, floor plans, sections and details and of course text, plus photographs taken specially for this book by Rob 't Hart.

Summary:
This book tells the remarkable story of a cartoonist who made his dream come true in a building made of brick, glass and wood. The well-known cartoonist Joost Swarte designed the new Toneelschuur theatre in the historic city centre of Haarlem completely in his own characteristic style. The Delft firm of architects Mecanoo elaborated his outline drawing and turned his sketch into a functional building. This book documents the unique and experimental project with sketches, drawings and photographs of the building, interior and many details. Henze Boekhout has recorded the new Toneelschuur theatre in a series of photographs, and Jan Tromp describes how the most beautiful theatre in the Netherlands was finally built after years of lobbying. Henk Döll provides a first-hand account of the unusual cooperation between artist and architect, and Paul Hefting writes on folly, play and utopian dreams, the elements that play a role in both Joost Swarte's drawings and the Toneelschuur theatre that has now materialised. The book is designed by Lex Reitsma.
