Annual over-all view of education at the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture.
Design and politics
In establishing a professorship in Design & Politics at Delft University of Technology, the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment has launched a program of education, research and practice for the spatial design of the Netherlands, aimed at reinforcing the interaction between design and politics. The purpose of this book is to offer inspiration and an organizing framework for that program, based on history, reflection, policy and, just as importantly, ambition. The book traces the history of the Netherlands' thinkers, makers and builders. It provides an understanding of how the roles and relationships in Dutch spatial planning have been transformed, and of the ideals, sys...
The Hackable City
This open access book presents a selection of the best contributions to the Digital Cities 9 Workshop held in Limerick in 2015, combining a number of the latest academic insights into new collaborative modes of city making that are firmly rooted in empirical findings about the actual practices of citizens, designers and policy makers. It explores the affordances of new media technologies for empowering citizens in the process of city making, relating examples of bottom-up or participatory practices to reflections about the changing roles of professional practitioners in the processes, as well as issues of governance and institutional policymaking.
The Business of Research
Architectural research is being redefined in practice. Whereas once the value of a piece of research was solely measured by the number of citations it received by fellow academics, shifting funding models and new societal concerns are forcing academia to question its structure and this mode of evaluation. At the same time a wave of practitioners and new types of institutions, such as RMIT in Melbourne and the London School of Architecture (LSA), have been recasting architectural education and theoretical speculation within practice, turning the traditional architectural studio into a learning environment that adopts and adapts academic models, and starts to use architectural research as a po...

The Metainterface
How the interface has moved from the PC into cultural platforms, as seen in a series of works of net art, software art and electronic literature. The computer interface is both omnipresent and invisible, at once embedded in everyday objects and characterized by hidden exchanges of information between objects. The interface has moved from office into culture, with devices, apps, the cloud, and data streams as new cultural platforms. In The Metainterface, Christian Ulrik Andersen and Søren Bro Pold examine the relationships between art and interfaces, tracing the interface's disruption of everyday cultural practices. They present a new interface paradigm of cloud services, smartphones, and da...
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.

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.
Compact city extended : outline for future policy research and design
Het compactestadbeleid is in Nederland ongeveer een kwart eeuw oud. Het werd gedreven door de vier grote steden in de Randstad, die zich na de economische crises van de jaren zeventig en het gevoerde (gebundeld) deconcentratiebeleid geconfronteerd zagen met een enorm verlies aan midden- en hogere inkomensgroepen. Tegelijkertijd ontstonden nieuwe inzichten over het belang van krachtige steden in de opkomende mondiale netwerkeconomie. In combinatie daarmee kwamen ook duurzaamheid, mobiliteit en kwaliteit van het landelijk gebied in relatie tot die stedelijke opgave op de agenda. Vanuit die achtergrond werd het compactestadbeleid vanaf midden jaren tachtig op nationaal niveau geformaliseerd. De doorgezette mondialisering, informatisering, de veranderende economie en het toenemend belang van duurzame ruimtelijke ontwikkeling vragen om een hernieuwde invulling van compactestadbeleid. De actuele setting is wezenlijk anders dan die van zo'n kwart eeuw geleden.
