BARBIERI, S. UMBERTO. - A Hundred Years of Dutch Architecture: 1901-2000 Trends Highlights.

Title: A Hundred Years of Dutch Architecture: 1901-2000 Trends Highlights.
Description: Amsterdam, SUN, 2003. 32 x 28,5 cm. Hardcover. With illustrations in b/w. 370 pages. NEW COPY * ** A HUNDRED YEARS OF DUTCH ARCHITECTURE reconstructs the frames of reference that informed the practice of architecture in the Netherlands during the last century. The book provides a detailed documentation of twenty key architectural works, based on the original plans. Each of these works embodies a specific response to an architectural problem and represents a crystallization point of one of the various approaches that can be distinguished within the gamut of design strategies, namely a traditionalist, an expressionist, a functionalist, a rationalist and a post-modernist approach. These five approaches to architecture are reconstructed by analysing the interconnection between a building's form, construction and function. Their architectural and social significance is examined in five separate essays that precede the documentation.
