This Yearbook showcases 17 exemplary design projects that reflect the current state of urban design and landscape architecture. Its main theme is how spatial designers can find their place in the development projects that will shape the debate in the coming decades. On the one hand, there are the major transitions in the field of the environment, climate and urban development in the Netherlands and elsewhere; on the other hand, there are the many local initiatives by market actors and residents groups. Richly illustrated and with expert analyses and interviews, this book shows how designers are responding at both these scales.

Every project has an English summary. The captions and narrative title and some essays are English. 

Please pay attention to the covers. There are two covers. The only difference is the cover so you can chose the one you like most!

The delta of the Mekong River is one of the most threatened delta areas in the world. As a result of climate change, the country is plagued by more rain, more floods and salinisation of the lower reaches of the river. In this book, architect Joep Janssen gives a personal account of how Vietnam and the Vietnamese people cope with the consequences of climate change. He travelled through the country and met farmers and

urban inhabitants. Joep Janssen analyses the influence of the rapid economic developments on water management. He interviewed Dutch engineers who are involved in plans for improved coastal defence. He compares the Mekong Delta to other deltas such as in Jakarta and the Nile in Egypt. And in a historical analysis he shows how the development of the city and its architecture have been influenced by French colonials as well as the canal ring of Amsterdam.

This book illustrates the dangers that delta areas in the world are facing. However, portraits of inhabitants of the Mekong Delta also show how people in their own environment take initiatives to survive and benefit from the rising waters.

Cities and landscape are inextricably linked. Without landscape there is no city and without city there is no landscape as we know it. Nowadays it is hard to hold on to the distinction between landscape and city – the whole planet has become urban.

This raises new questions. How can cities defend themselves against climate change? How can you guarantee the supply of drinking water in cities with tens of millions of residents? What can be done about smog choking metropoles? Is food security possible if there is less and less fertile farmland? Rooted City investigates these questions by means of an essay and examples of thirty European cities. It is a source of inspiration for scientists, policy makers and citizens that are looking for creative answers for the city landscape of the 21st century.

On the Move is a barometer of landscape architecture in Europe. This publication offers a selection of contemporary projects on the basis of a democratic call for entries, controversial discussions by a European jury of practitioners, and design critiques formulated by the editors. Some landscape architects are on the move, breaking out of the silos of their discipline, sketching new professional profiles, and designing landscapes beyond the architectonic, with natural, economic and social processes being included as part of form and structure. Here are paths along which the profession can move away from outdated habits, conventional aesthetic language and fallacious institutional frameworks. As a result the book raises the awareness of what landscape architecture can contribute to society today.

2008

Landscape architecture in the 20th century has developed from a practice-oriented discipline for designing parks and gardens into a broad professional field covering all scales and both urban and rural areas. It also gained an established position as a scientific discipline. In tackling today’s complex planning and design issues, landscape architects necessarily cooperate with other experts, researchers, politicians, users and clients. In a co-design approach it is important to be able to clarify one’s own disciplinary base. With her thesis Landscape Architecture between Politics and Science Jannemarie de Jonge provides a theoretical framework for co-design in large-scale landscape architecture as an integrative perspective for the practice of landscape planning and design.

This publication was made possible with the financial support of the Netherlands Architecture Fund, NHBos foundation and the EFL Foundation.

Borderland is about the history and future of the zone straddling the Dutch border with Germany and Belgium. Although the internal borders in the European Union were opened more than twenty years ago, there is still no comprehensive and coordinated spatial vision for the borderland and the border. In this book, landscape architect and regional designer Mark Eker and political geographer and border expert Henk van Houtum are joined by artists, designers, scientists and policy makers in a study of the border landscape.

The book is an atlas, a design study and essay collection combined. It contains provocative and inspiring ideas and design concepts to enhance borderland policies and cross-border collaborations. In some places the border is dissolved, while in other places it is emphasised in an almost theatrical manner.

European landscape architecture builds on a common horizon of understanding and yet produces quality works of very different expression and style. In Touch explores outstanding projects created within the European mindset, diving below the surface in an attempt to uncover the common values that bind European design work. The book presents 11 in-depth project ‘features’, which include thematically related essays, and 28 concise project ‘icons’. 

In Touch is the third volume in the Landscape Architecture Europe series. The triennial publications aim to set standards, in design and design critique, by presenting an overview of contemporary European landscape architecture.

We have become very much aware of the fact that landscape is not only a functional or ecological system, but also the expression of ideals, the carrier of meaning. Landscapes represent a heritage in which the collective identity and memory of its population are expressed. Landscape architects, when confronted with the task of combining a cultural heritage with new functional requirements, must search for landscape form and function that represents values and ideals, both in the past and the present. But what are these values and how should they be reflected in our landscapes?

The landscape of symbols is a complex world we may not be able to grasp. An international group of distinguished speakers were invited to cast their light on the subject. They do so on the basis of their own experience and insight. Some of them look back and find historical examples, others attempt to look towards to the future. Together they create a fascinating document on a fascinating theme.

The compilation of the 2010 yearbook was fuelled by the idea that the world is changing rapidly. The 25 projects in this book show that things can be done differently, and better. They provide answers to questions such as: How will the rising sea level affect the landscape? Have energy, water and waste cycles become the new building blocks of design? How can we think ahead in times of economic uncertainty? Is there a role for local residents in this? And, seemingly forgotten: Is there any room left for quality craftsmanship? The yearbook illustrates the current state of affairs in Dutch landscape architecture and urban planning, anticipating the road ahead.

The yearbook is one of a series published in cooperation with Stichting Jaarboek LS.

The 27 projects in this book are the best that Dutch landscape architects and planners have produced in 2012 and 2013. They clearly illustrate the new roles that designers are adopting. Today, taking the initiative, performing research and collaborating with others are just as important as shaping attractive places. And more than ever before, Dutch designers excel in the types of projects that have always set them apart, such as water management works and combining engineering with elegance.

Over the years OKRA has earned its kudos within Dutch landscape architecture, with interesting projects at various scale levels. The firm combines vision with emphasis on execution, and operates in urban and rural areas. OKRA seeks new constellations and spaces, but bases them on existing identities. Recent projects and works have been carried out in Rotterdam, Ede, Enschede, Delft, Utrecht and Roermond in the Netherlands, and also in cities abroad including Berlin, Mechelen, Ghent and Copenhagen. The depth of OKRA’s work is evidenced in various publications and in the numerous prizes that the firm has won. 

This book is the first in a series of independent monographs on up-and-coming young landscape architects.

OKRA are well known for their designs in which distinct, often innovative ideas, are fashioned into practical, feasible plans.

For the tenth time, Stichting Beelden op de Berg organized an international exhibition in the Arboretum Belmonte in Wageningen. Curator Koos Flinterman and co-curator Krijn Christiaansen have chosen two themes for this edition that are central to both contemporary visual art and science: authenticity and manipulation. Is there such a thing as authenticity? Or is simulated authenticity the only kind we ever really experience? They invited a select group of celebrated Dutch and international artists to create new works of art that explore the realm of the original and the manipulated. The results include a fifteen-metre-long chicken coop with two pheasant-like primeval chickens from the Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen’s Cosmopolitan Chicken Project; a film by Barbara Visser about the deserted tropical greenhouse near the arboretum; a series of tomato plants growing in the thin space between two sheets of perspex, a bio-printer and modified historic 

audio recordings of African music. (Re)Source show-cases new sculptures, installations, and films by artists and designers who play, reflect, and work around the themes of authenticity and manipulation. 

In the catalogue the information on the projects and artists is combined with various essays on the theme. With postcards of all the works presented.

Landscape architect Peter van Bolhuis chose to follow his passion and became an aerial photographer. Under the name Pandion he photographed the Dutch landscape in a new way: with an eye for relationships, design and change. Pandion succeeded in capturing the essence of architects’ and planners’ work. Van Bolhuis recorded classical gardens, parks and villas in England, France and Italy, and photographed cities in Europe and America. He died unexpectedly in 2005, leaving a legacy over 15,000 images. This book presents an extensive selection of his most beautiful and important photographs. The accompanying essays provide an impression of Van Bolhuis’ background in landscape architecture, his conscientious way of working and the significance of his work.

This publication has been made possible by subsidies of the Netherlands Architecture Fund.

 A magnificent book of photographs.

Ede is the gateway to the Veluwe. This extraordinary landscape of woodland, heathland and sand drifts appeals to the imagination of many people. One of these people is visual artist Adri Verhoeven, who was commissioned by Ede City Council to produce twelve works of art. Twelve compositions of ancient worked and unworked stones now mark the route from the city to the entrance of the National Park De Hoge Veluwe. The stone sculptures are stopping places within the landscape. Writer and cabaret performer Hans Dorrestijn meets up with Mayor Cees van der Knaap there to muse on the exciting relationship between art, nature and the landscape. Professor emeritus Jelle Vervloet takes readers back 200,000 years to the creation of the Veluwe. The stone sculptures remind us of the story behind the origin of this unique landscape.
