Summary:
Established by Riek Bakker and Ank Bleeker in 1977, the Bakker & Bleeker Bureau has functioned as a laboratory for the landscape design and urban planning community. Operating as Bureau B+B since 1990, the office has always taken an interdisciplinary approach, employing not just landscape architects and urban planners but also land development experts, architects and industrial designers. It has served as an incubator for some of the Netherlands' leading creative professionals : Winy Maas, Adriaan Geuze, Michael van Gessel, West 8, Karres en Brands and Rietveld Landscape, amog others. The development of Bureau B+B coincides with the emancipation of Dutch postwar landscape architecture and urbanism; self-assured and autonomous, the Bureau soon ranked among the world’s foremost urban institutes, thanks among other things to its design for the Parc de la Villette in Paris (1982), a commission won ex aequo with designers such as Rem Koolhaas and Bernard Tschumi. The bureau has always been interdisciplinary, employing landscape architects, urban planners, architects, land development experts and industrial designers. This publication presents a generous selection from its 1,500 projects, including the Dutch Pavilion for the World Expo 2000 in Hanover, the Waldpark in Potsdam and the Wollefoppenpark in Rotterdam. The book features essays on the Bureau's practice over three decades, focusing on its core qualities of analytical craftsmanship and experimental rigor.

Summary:
"City of Play" shows how play is built into the very fabric of the modern city. From playgrounds to theme parks, skittle alleys to swimming pools, to the countless uncontrolled spaces which the urban habitat affords play is by no means just a childhood affair. A myriad essentially unproductive playful pursuits have, through time, modelled the modern city and landscape. Architect and scholar Rodrigo Pérez de Arces erudite, original, and often surprising study explores a curiously neglected dimension of architectural design and practice: ludic space. It is an architectural history of the playground from the hippodrome to the Situationist city of space released from productive ends in the pursuit of leisure. The ludic imagination impregnated modernist ideals, and what begins with the playground ends with a re-consideration of the whole sweep of the modern movement through the filter of leisure and play.
