Do It Ourselves
In recent years, Dutch Design has sharply diverged from its previous course. A generation of designers trained in and shaped by the crisis years chose new values and starting points. The focus is now on inquisitive and collaborative makers who strive for social relevance and, if possible, impact. This post-crisis generation is committed and optimistic, but also pragmatic and in possession of an eye for beauty. Humour and the almost inescapable concept have been exchanged for engagement and free research and irony and contemplative criticism for open-mindedness and the will to act. Craftsmanship and local production are examined as realistic alternatives to deadlocked systems of production and distribution. In addition to art and design, science, technology, social studies and politics are also seen as design arenas. In short, the latest generation of designers is looking to substantiate the content of the profession and make positive contributions to social issues. Well-known design writer Jeroen Junte is the first to describe this new stage in the development of the widely acclaimed Dutch Design, by way of 199 surprising, innovative, astonishing projects and products.

Bibliotheque Du Musée
The "Museum of Contemporary African Art" is an art installation conceived by the artist Meschac Gaba in 1997. This book documents the first six rooms of the museum (there were to be twelve) and was published with the display of the 7th room of the museum, the Library, at the Witte de With Centre for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam in 2001.
Moving Objects
Moving Objects deals with emotive design: designed objects that demand to be engaged with rather than simply used. If postmodernism depended upon ironic distance, and Critical Design is all about questions, then emotive design runs hotter than this, confronting how designers are using feelings in what they make. Damon Taylor's original study considers these emotionally laden, highly authored works, often produced in limited editions and sold like art – objects such as a chair made from cuddly toys, a leather sofa that resembles a cow, and a jewellery box fashioned from human hair. Tracing the phenomenon back to the 'Dutch inflection' that began with Droog designers like Jurgen Bey and Hell...

Onheilstij
In september 1939 breekt in Europa de Tweede Wereldoorlog uit, maar Nederland vertrouwt erop dat ze neutraal kan blijven. De Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie een onneembare hindernis, een succesformule in de Nederlandse krijgsgeschiedenis zal het westen, het economisch hart van het land, beschermen. Door Midden-Nederland ligt van noord tot zuid een netwerk van forten, sluizen, dijken en sloten, een 85 kilometer lange strook van ongeveer 90 militaire `inundatiepolders. In een paar dagen tijd kan een ondiepe plas van 3 tot 5 kilometer breed worden opgewekt, die te diep is voor soldaten te voet en te ondiep voor boten. Op 10 mei 1940 blijkt dat het water geen bescherming biedt tegen een modern leger. Binnen 5 dagen krijgt Duitsland Nederland op de knieën. Voor de bewoners van het militaire landschap van de Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie eindigt een tijdperk. Leendert van der Valk sprak voor dit boek met ooggetuigen - boeren, molenaars, soldaten en NSBers. Onheilstij vertelt hun verhaal tegen de achtergrond van de ondergang van het ingenieuze, trotse verdedigingswerk tussen Muiden en de Biesbosch.
