Summary:
This book examines Dutch commemorative coins which will continue to be minted, despite the introduction of the Euro. In a lyrical article, Gert Staal explores the sentimental and symbolical significance of coins. The results of a workshop ‘Design by the mm3’, in which eleven artist/designers took part, is discussed in an article by Lilet Breddels and presented in numerous illustrations. Gerard Unger subverts his own specialization in typography by arguing that artists are perfectly capable of creating their own lettering for coin designs. Hans Jacobi, keeper of the Koninklijke Penningen Kabinet (Royal Coins Cabinet) in Leiden, throws light on the vicissitudes of Dutch coin design during the last twenty years. In an epilogue, Janwillem Schrofer, a member of the Advisory Commission for New Coinage and the president of the Rijksakademie, Amsterdam, presents his outlook on the importance of good coin design.

Summary:
Qu’est-ce qu’un jardin, de quel type d’espace s’agit-il, quelle est sa forme temporelle, de quelles pièces et morceaux doit-il se composer pour avoir droit au nom de « jardin » ? En distinguant le jardin de son frère ennemi, le paysage, en évitant de le soumettre à la contagion des « beaux jardins », en essayant d’aller à l’élémentaire, ce petit traité tente de fixer pour un moment l’objet jardin, objet toujours en mouvement, toujours inachevé, et dont la composition subtile réclame un prudent dosage. Mais qu’il se montre dans son ingénuité ou qu’il s’expose comme une œuvre contemporaine, le jardin répond à une loi qui le met à part dans les productions humaines : celle de l’anentropie, ce travail incessant de reconstruction, de rapiècement, de rétablissement patient à partir des restes, par lequel le jardinier compose avec la mort.

Summary:
Publié pour la première fois en 1978 aux États-unis, "Collage city" est désormais un classique de la théorie urbaine. Réévaluation critique des théories contemporaines de l'urbabisme et du rôle de l'architecte-urbaniste dans un contexte urbain, cet ouvrage s'adresse aussi bien à des historiens, des spécialistes du droit public, des sociopsychologues et des politiciens qu'à des architectes. Dans un débat convaincant de grande envergure, les auteurs défendent la notion de ville-collision et le concept de l'architecte-bricoleur pour contrer directement les hypothèses qui sous-tendent le réaménagement à grande échelle des centres urbains.
