Download or read book Petrus Camper in context written by Klaas van Berkel and published by Uitgeverij Verloren. This book was released on 2015 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘A meteor of spirit, science, talent and activity’ – thus Goethe described Petrus Camper (1722-1789). Goethe’s words contain all the elements that make Camper such a fascinating figure in the history of science and arts in the eighteenth-century Dutch Republic. This volume sheds new light on Camper’s versatility, engagement, and charisma in all fields and disciplines he ventured into and published on. It not only addresses his scientific activities, findings, and opinions, but also delves into his careers at the universities of Franeker, Amsterdam, and Groningen, his travels, relationships, friendships, and feuds, as well as the ways he communicated his wide-ranging research. Eleven case studies illustrate Camper’s views on eighteenth-century life and society, which motivated not just his scientific, but also his political, societal, literary, and artistic practice. Together they amount to a plea for an integration of all aspects of his scholarly life and persona.

Download or read book Meyer en Van Schooten Architects Ing Group Headquarters written by Hans Ibelings and published by Nai010 Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The headquarters of the ING Group in Amsterdam is one of the most spectacular buildings of our time. Even before construction began, the design by Roberto Meyer and Jeroen van Schooten had etched itself into the public consciousness, immediately attracting such nicknames as the shoe, the handyvac and the TGV. The ING head office is more than just an eye-catching form. This is only one aspect of the complex unity of form, space, construction, technique and detail achieved by this architecture. This book takes in-depth cognisance of this extraordinary building, from its mind-boggling structure and perfect detailing to its wealth of ambiences and spatiality. The architects themselves provide a well-founded and precisely detailed description of how their architecture fits together, and why this is so. Plans, sections and a great many details complete this building monograph together with stunning photographs from George Fessy.

Download or read book The Work of Cepezed written by Architectenbureau Cepezed and published by 010 Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few decades, cepezed has gained renown with transparent, sustainable and technologically progressive architecture that is remarkably usable and humane. Unaffected design, sober but stylish materialization, and careful finishing are just as characteristic of Cepezed's oeuvre as the integration of spatial and construction-technical aspects. The design and building processes at cepezed are also integrated: the use of prefab components and the application of industrial building methods guarantee an optimum alignment of design and realization, in which time, quality, and costs are meticulously planned and controlled. Prototypes documents a large number of key projects and deals extensively with the various aspects of product development, building process and architecture. The layout and form of the book make it very similar to a cepezed design: celar, logical and efficient. It offers very incisive insight into the office philosophy that cepezed has drawn straight through architectural history. In addition to the timeless aesthetic pleasure that can be experienced in the designs and the craftmanship displayed at detail level, the much-discussed role of the architect in the design process today is examined in the book. A must read for every architect who wrestles with the threatened depreciation of the discipline.

Download or read book Meyer en Van Schooten Architects written by Hans Ibelings and published by Nai010 Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The architecture of Meyer and van Schooten stands out for its inventive and innovative use of detailing, for its formal elegance and its bold gestures. Behind and within the seductive forms of their architecture there are myriad subtleties, not only in the details, but also in the spaciousness, the use of materials, and the angularity and stratification of the shell. Meyer and van Schooten seamlessly integrate form, function, and technology into a dynamic architecture that appeals directly to the senses. For the past two decades, Meyer and van Schooten have designed projects ranging from housing to bridges, from reconstructions of historic buildings to international corporate headquarters. This monograph will be the first published on their output.
Download or read book Critical seventies written by Martien de Vletter and published by Nai010 Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no period in the history of the Netherlands which excites such emotion, resistance, or aversion as the decade of the 1970s. Following in the wake of the democratization wave of 1968, some regard the 1970s as a period when pluralism was possible and desirable at all levels. For others, the crowning moment of 1968 degenerated into a quagmire of public consultation and a culture of always inconclusive committee meetings. The 70s were either hip and groundbreaking, or dogmatic and rigid. The architecture of the time, which headed off in pursuit of new definitions and forms, is similarly divisive. Though a number of architectural trajectories were driven by a devoted social engagement and a profound belief in architecture as a means of molding society, the sheer plethora of movements failed to generate a single and unanimous alternative, resulting instead in polarization and pluralism. The Critical Years focuses on architecture, urban planning, and spatial planning from 1968 to 1982. Specific projects from the period are discussed and extensively documented on the basis of six themes, and an introductory essay considers the context in which building and planning changed so radically. With the imminent demolition and renovation of much of the infrastructure and architecture of the 1970s, this book is a critical and timely document of one of the most important periods for architecture in the Netherlands.
Download or read book Architecture Democracy and Emotions written by Till Großmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After 1945 it was not just Europe’s parliamentary buildings that promised to house democracy: hotels in Turkey and Dutch shopping malls proposed new democratic attitudes and feelings. Housing programs in the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union were designed with the aim of creating new social relations among citizens and thus better, more equal societies. Architecture, Democracy, and Emotions focuses on these competing promises of consumer democracy, welfare democracy, and socialist democracy. Spanning from Turkey across Eastern and Western Europe to the United States, the chapters investigate the emotional politics of housing and representation during the height of the Cold War, as well as its aftermath post-1989. The book assembles detailed research on how the claims and aspirations of being "democratic" influenced the affects of architecture, and how these claims politicized space. Architecture, Democracy, and Emotions contributes to the study of Europe’s "democratic age" beyond Cold War divisions without diminishing political differences. The combination of an emotional history of democracy with an architectural history of emotions distinguishes the book’s approach from other recent investigations into the interconnection of mind, body, and space.
Download or read book Architecture in the Netherlands written by Anne Hoogewoning and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The highly successful Architecture in the Netherlands once again presents a selection of the past year's most remarkable architecture in the Netherlands. The book highlights 30 projects which were realized in 2003, illustrated with photos and plans. The selected projects include work by 2012 Architecten, de Architecten Cie., AAS Architecten, Wiel Arets, Borren Staalenhoef, CePeZed, Claus en Kaan, Karelse van der Meer, KCAP, MVRDV, Neutelings Riedijk, NL Architects, OMA, Onix, Christian Rapp, Soeters Van Eldonk Ponec, Joost Swarte/Mecanoo Architects and René van Zuuk. The yearbook includes four essays by the editors and a roundup of the most important prizes, competitions, exhibitions and publications over the past year. What struck the editors most this year was the evidently renewed interest in the reality of the here and now and the fact that architects are once again drawing inspiration from this reality. Still the question remains whether the future is adequately served by reality or whether we should perhaps also dare to dream of utopia.
Download or read book DP6 written by Olof Koekebakker and published by 010 Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the autumn of 1999, Chris de Weijer and Robert Alewijnse left Mecanoo Architecten to start up their own office, which they called DP6 architectuurstudio. In the ten years that have passed since then, they have realized a rich and multi-faceted oeuvre. Eighteen projects from this oeuvre - those that most fire the imagination - are presented in DP6. Ten Years of Architecture. They range from the glass towers of the Walterbos complex in Apeldoorn to the archetypical wooden dwelling house in Driebergen, and from the striking red mega-cinema in a noise barrier to near Ede to the bridges for the Zuiderpark in Rotterdam. Besides comprehensive documentation of the projects, the book furnishes insight into the way in which DP6 deals with assignments. Designs are often created in two stages. Rational analsis is followed by a more intuitive process in which the emphasis is placed upon associative thought. This produces strongly sensory architecture in which a major role is often reserved for the landscape. DP6 is also notable for the way clients and users are involved in the genesis of a design. DP6. Ten Years of Architecture is a book about an architectural office that manifests itself without much propaganda or fuss but which is, at the same time, distinctive enough to claim a conspicuous position in the realm of Dutch architecture.
Download or read book Sacred Buildings written by Rudolf Stegers and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-05-16 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The building of religious structures represents a rare opportunity for the architect to concentrate on the creation of volume, space, and form. Sacred architecture is far less determined than other building tasks by functional requirements, norms, and standards. As a rule, it is free to unfold as pure architecture. Thus in design terms this building task offers enormous freedoms to the architect. At the same time, however, the special atmospherics of sacred spaces call, on the part of the architect, for a highly sensitive treatment of religion and the relevant cultural and architectural traditions. In a systematic section, this volume introduces the design, technical, and planning fundamentals of building churches, synagogues, and mosques. In its project section, it also presents about seventy realized structures from the last three decades. Drawing upon his in-depth knowledge of the subject and his many years of publishing experience, the author offers a valuable analysis of the conceptual and formal aspects that combine to create the religious impact of spaces (e.g., the ground plan, the shapes of the spaces, the incidence of light, and materiality).
Download or read book Mystery and Matter written by Michel Remery and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-12-20 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the scholarship regarding the Dutch monk and architect Dom Hans van der Laan OSB (1904-1991) has been narrowly focused on his architectural theory and projects. The liturgical and theological dimensions have been virtually neglected, though they are vital for a proper understanding of his thought. Through a thorough reading of the original sources, including previously unexplored documents from various archives, this book takes an interdisciplinary approach to Van der Laan’s theory. It brings together the different aspects of his work by studying both the liturgical-theological and architectural elements. On this basis the book offers a synthesis of the way in which Van der Laan was able to link earthly matter to the divine Mystery.
