DIGITAL EDITION / Dutch landscape architects and urban planners are tackling major issues of the day, such as climate change and urban renewal, and yet they continue to design and deliver pleasing and attractive public spaces. The Yearbook of Landscape Architecture and Urban Design in the Netherlands presents 19 outstanding projects that reflect the current state of affairs.
Lavishly illustrated, the Yearbook contains clear descriptions of the selected projects, a report on the selection committee’s considerations, an essay on meeting the acute housing needs in the Netherlands, an interview with urban designer Edzo Bindels of West 8, and a photo reportage on rural dereliction.
Press on former yearbooks:
Excellent reference work and up to date too. All in all an absolute must-have.

This digital booklet is published to accompany a series of three lectures on ‘A Dutch Approach’, organized by H+N+S Landscape Architects to mark their 25th anniversary.
This essay aims to draw attention to the ideology characteristic of H+N+S and to position it as a specific approach to landscape and landscape architecture. The achievements of H+N+S are relatively unknown outside the Netherlands. The result may be a splendid landscape but, more often, the product is groundbreaking research, an exploration, or a vision.
