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.
"This publication illustrates the specific links between several artists and an architect. Over almost 40 years of projects and works - private houses, public buildings - a complicity has been forged between architectural signs and art vocabulary. In addition to his interest in his Belgian colleagues, Charles Vandenhove here reveals his love of art and his loyalty to today's greatest artists, from Sol LeWitt to Daniel Buren, and Giulio Paolini to Robert Barry."--BOOK JACKET.
The work of Dutch architect Charles Vandenhove has always evinced a tension between his Modernist training and a desire to revise or even reject that heritage, but the past five years have seen him returning to his Modernist education, evolving towards a more austere formal vocabulary. Charles Vandenhove: Recent Work 1995-2000 clearly charts this development, in such striking examples as the Staar complex in Maastricht, the renovation of the Koninklijke Schouwburg and the Huygensgracht housing development in The Hague. This monograph also addresses Vandenhove's standing as an insider-outsider who is both highly esteemed internationally and regarded as something of a maverick.
Dit boek behandelt de moderne Nederlandse gerechtsgebouwen vanuit het gebruikersperspectief. Wat waren de redenen om het recente bouwprogramma uit te voeren en hoe drukken de gebouwen als gerechtsgebouw hun functie uit? Via een vergelijking met de gebouwen van een eeuw eerder wordt duidelijk wat de overeenkomsten en verschillen zijn tussen moderne en klassieke gerechtsgebouwen. Het boek belicht de gebouwen als expressie van ideeën over recht en rechtspraak, architectuur en de organisatie van het bouwen voor de rijksoverheid, heden ten dage en een eeuw geleden. In grote lijnen is men erin geslaagd om een reeks gebouwen neer te zetten die voldoen aan de gestelde functionele eisen. Maar er zijn ook critici, die zeggen dat de functie van deze gebouwen minder duidelijk wordt uitgedrukt en dat ze minder betekenisvol zijn dan hun voorgangers. Ros Floor gaat na wat hierin de rol is geweest van de politiek, opdrachtgevers (Rechtspraak en Rijksvastgoedbedrijf) en ontwerpers.
