Geschiedenis van de Academie van Bouwkunst in Amsterdam. Begonnen in 1908 als een 'winteravondcursus' heeft de Academie zich in een eeuw tijd ontwikkeld tot de multidisciplinaire masteropleiding van vandaag, die jaarlijks vele tientallen studenten voorbereidt op een loopbaan als architect, stedenbouwkundige of landschapsontwerper. Roemrijke episoden komen aan bod, zoals de verbondenheid in de jaren vijftig en zestig met de wereldberoemde Forum-beweging en het baanbrekende werk van Academiestudenten voor de stadsvernieuwing in de jaren zeventig. Aandacht wordt geschonken aan de verhouding tot het Nieuwe Bouwen in de jaren twintig en dertig, de identiteit van de opleiding in de vroege wederopbouwjaren en de omvang en de gevolgen van de studentenrevolte aan het eind van de jaren zestig. De ontwikkeling van het leerplan komt ter sprake en er worden verbanden gelegd met de vorming van het architectenberoep, de ruimtelijke ontwikkeling van Amsterdam en de veranderende bouwopgave.

In recent years, walking has emerged as a methodological tool and as a conceptually exciting point of departure across a range of disciplines and practices. This volume explores walking as a form of embodied research practice that offers fresh perspectives on key contemporary debates and areas of interest.

Forty years on from the first moon landing, architecture in Space is entering a new era. Over the last decade, there has been a fundamental shift in the Space industry from short-term pioneering expeditions to long-term planning for colonisation, and new ventures such as Space tourism. Architects are now involved in designing the interiors of long-term habitable structures in Space, such as the International Space Station, researching advanced robotic fabrication technologies for building structures on the Moon and Mars, envisioning new 'space yachts' for the super-rich, and building new facilities, such as the Virgin Galactic 'Spaceport America' in New Mexico designed by Foster + Partners. ...
This book displays and dissects the career and design motives of graphic designer Joost Grootens. In a systematic fashion it charts the first 100 books designed by Grootens over the past ten years. In the first chapter, '10 years', Grootens uses timelines, lists and graphs to map the course of his career as a designer, the people he worked with and the places where the work took place. In '100 books', the designer dissects his book designs. He details the grids, formats, paper stocks, colours and typefaces, and charts the books' structures and compositions. '18,788 pages' shows at actual size a selection of spreads from books designed by Grootens, including the internationally acclaimed atlases. In the text 'I swear I use no art at all' Joost Grootens gives a personal account of making books and the ideas behind his designs.
