20 Years 010
Published for 010 Publisher's twentieth anniversary in 2003, this volume celebrates the publishing vision of Hans Oldewarris and Peter de Winter, 010's founders. Besides hundreds of monographs by and about Dutch architects, 010 has published books on architecture, interior design, photography, industrial design, graphic design and the visual arts. Exhaustively annotated and illustrated, 20 Years 010 provides not only the technical details of each book (size, format, binding) but also the authors, editors, photographers, graphic designers and printers. A brief description of the contents rounds off each entry. Comprehensive indexes give insight into who contributed to which book and in what way. In their introductory essay, Ed Taverne and Cor Wagenaar give a picture of the practice of architectural publishing in the Netherlands during those years.

Arne Jacobsen: Approach to his complete works 1950-1971
The Second World Ward left the towns and cities of Europe in state of devastation. The need for rapid reconstruction and the materials and technical means to carry it out called into question the tradition of crafts-based architectural production. Given the sheer magnitude of the new challenge, the eyes of Europe turned, first and foremost, ti the United States and its systems of industrial mass production. The key references were SOM, Saarinen and Mies van der Rohe in architecture and Charles and Ray Eames in the field of design. [...].
Open to the Sky
Open to The Sky In 1993 Malene Hauxner published her highly acclaimed doctoral dissertation "Fantasiens have" [The Imaginary Garden]. Open to the Sky is a continuation dealing with the second stage of modernism from 1950-1970. The rise and fall of Nazism and the beginning of the atomic age led to the painful conclusion that human nature is dangerous when left unchecked. The new democratic welfare states that evolved after the Second World War wanted to civilize both man and nature and used landscaping and gardening to support their philosophy. Writing in a clear and lively style, Malene Hauxner summarizes the key theories and contributions of landscape architecture.
