Summary:
“Landscape Architecture and Town Planning in The Netherlands 01-03” offers a critical survey of current landscape architectonic and urban planning projects, and enables professional colleagues, clients and other interested parties to keep abreast of the 'state of the art' in landscape architecture and town planning in The Netherlands. The 2001-2003 edition is the fifth in a series of biannual publications. A commission under the leadership of Tineke Blok, comprised of Ruud Brouwers, Ton Hartman, Sylvia Karres, Martin Knuijt and Frits Palmboom, selected over 40 projects which are exemplary in one manner or another. Important themes this time are reconstruction of centres, neighbourhoods and parks, and what is being called the 'new collectivity' in town expansions and city centre projects. A number of analytic essays and opinion pieces by Ivan Nio, Rudi van Ettinger and Frans de Josselin de Jong, among others, precede the selection. The selection is accompanied by a commentary by Ruud Brouwers. Peter Paul Witsen wrote the project descriptions.

Summary:
New ideas and concepts for urban architecture and landscape architecture from the Netherlands: this survey takes stock of the current situation. In any discussion on contemporary landscape architecture, visionary urban development or revolutionary building, it is impossible to overlook the Netherlands. The experts look to this small, flat country which constantly seeks to exceed its narrow boundaries by creating new space. The Netherlands is crowded and so it is hardly surprising that architects endeavour to "stack" landscapes and functions as the Dutch pavilion in the Expo 2000, designed by MVRDV demonstrated. Here, new ideas and concepts in architecture and landscape design fall on the fertile ground. Rem Koolhaas had prepared the way: nothing must stay as it is, even the open countryside and the towns can be changed, moulded, shaped. The Dutch are experts at building in the sea, on polders, on man-made islands, and on former harbour areas as in Rotterdam Kop van Zuid. Architecture and landscape architecture are not only a matter of public interest but they are ongoing processes in the Netherlands, and this is reflected in many of the projects in this book which include the gardens and squares of West 8, the Museumsplein in Amsterdam, the town planning in Zutphen or Apeldoorn. The examples have all been published in different contexts in Topos, but this is the first time that they have been collated to provide an illuminating overview of contemporary Dutch landscape architecture.

Standing on Mont Ventoux near Avignon, the fourteenth-century poet Petrarch experienced an entirely new sensation that he described as 'stepping out of time and space'. On the mountain's summit he was as far as he could be from the 'world's stage all around'. The huge distance reduced reference points to insignificant specks down below, and everything in the panorama(...)

Summary:
Standing on Mont Ventoux near Avignon, the fourteenth-century poet Petrarch experienced an entirely new sensation that he described as 'stepping out of time and space'. On the mountain's summit he was as far as he could be from the 'world's stage all around'. The huge distance reduced reference points to insignificant specks down below, and everything in the panorama seemed motionless, dispelling any notion of time. Petrarch had placed himself outside reality. That is what makes aerial photography so fascinating, writes Clemens M. Steenbergen, professor of landscape architecture at Delft University of Technology, in his introduction. The higher the viewpoint the greater the visual control and the more abstract the image. We can see whether a landscape has been shaped by man or is pure nature, how space and mass form one composition. Aerial photographer and landscape architect Peter van Bolhuis captures on camera the Dutch landscape: areas devoted to agriculture, forestry, nature, infrastructure and urban development. The pictures show us the achievements of a half century of landscape architecture. We see a landscape in which everything is precisely measured and demarcated, everything is planned and calculated, with no space left unattended. We see, writes Tracy Metz in one of the essays, 'a landscape that is the sum of negotiations about ever smaller parts'.
