Summary:
This book is published as a result of the award of the Rotterdam Maaskant Prize for Young Architects - previously won by John Körmeling, Mecanoo, Wiel Arets, Willem Jan Neutelings, Liesbeth van der Pol, Adriaan Geuze and Christian Rapp - to four young urban designers: Bindels, Gietema, Hartzema en Klok. Alongside their activities at various offices like MVRDV, OMA and West 8, they take part in competitions and make design studies as an occasional quartet. This collaborative framework enables them to explore the boundaries of urban design, not by flirting with today's image culture, but by responding to changing conditions and contemporary building tasks. The four winners describe various schemes they have made for designing the Netherlands. Following the jury report the book divides into three sections, tracing the path taken by Dutch urban design since 1966 and the position the quartet of winners occupy in its evolution, documenting four projects and drawing on the opinions of key figures and clients from the world of spatial planning.
