Résumé:
In the Netherlands, for decades a bastion of modernism, neomodernism and supermodernism, a contemporary traditionalism has been causing a stir since the 1990s. Instead of innovation, today's traditionalists tap into what is already there, drawing from the past and preferring means that have already proved their worth. In Hans Ibelings's book contemporary traditionalism, stripped of all populistic and moralistic arguments for and against, is analysed from different angles. Ibelings places contemporary traditionalism in an international and historical perspective. In so doing, the book answers the question of what contemporary traditionalism has to offer a 21st-century society.

Résumé:
In a period of over thirty years, Arne van Herk and Sabien de Kleijn have achieved a varied and unconventional body of work. It consists of architecture, urban design, interior design, furniture, household objects, films and experiments in form and material. This book notes the ingenious skylights in their houseboat as well as the houses on Borneokade Amsterdam. It gives due attention to the foam-rubber objects, the fifty-centimetre high platform shoes, the Woutertje Pieterse School in Leiden and the accommodation building for the Dutch Royal Navy in Den Helder. The architects' working method and their projects are explored in an essay by Hans Ibelings. Adriaan Geuze and Cilia Erens present individual outlooks on the work of Van Herk & De Kleijn. Designed by Karel Martens and Aagje Martens.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
If past centuries belonged to Europe and much of the last century has been dominated by America, then now it is China’s turn. For decades, the nation has experienced unprecedented economic growth, and it managed to evade the West’s economic recession. It has gained a significant economic presence in nearly every part of the world. Yet China is now in the midst of an economic slowdown, which impacts its architecture, urban planning, and infrastructure, both at home and abroad. Nanne de Ru and Hans Ibelings undertake a closer examination of this process, with reports from Canada, Portugal, Angola, South Africa, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and Central and South America.
