Hugh Maaskant - Architect of Progress nai010 publishers 2013 ISBN 9789056628031 Acqn 21545 Hb 29x25cm 448pp 350ills 100col 52.50 Architect Hugh Maaskant (1907-1977) played a major role in modern Dutch architecture. He designed revolutionary, complex, large-scale buildings with metropolitan allure, like the Groothandelsgebouw and the Euromast in Rotterdam and the Scheveningen Pier. Micelle Provoost describes Maaskant's work as part of the optimistic, stimulating aspect of post-war reconstruction and the exciting world of the 1960s. She also places him in the context of Dutch architecture, both of his time and of later generations, particularly the 'Super Dutch'. The book features historical photo material and recent photographs.

Since its start in 2006, the agency has worked on conceptual and realisable projects in urban, peripheral and natural areas. LOLA combines knowledge of large-scale ecosystems with their own ideas about space, applying an open attitude that enables them to work collaboratively with other specialists, such as garden designer Piet Oudolf and the urbanists at MAXWAN. The agency shapes sublime experiences in both city and landscape in an individual way, revealing new romanticism.

Volume 37 - Is This Not A Pipe. Tube Or Not Tube Archis Foundation 2013 ISBN 9789077966372 Acqn 23178 Pb 20x27cm 158pp 125ills 50col 21 Life in buildings is supported by pipes. Ducts, conduits, water mains, and cables support biological and social life in spaces that are today held together by air-conditioning, electricity, and telecommunications as much as by form and materials. But while pipes and the machines they connect are part of buildings, they are often left out of architecture. It's fascinating to see how architects dealt with pipes in history and what challenges they face today. This issue presents Clab's research and includes contributions by Mark Wigley, John Hejduk, Kiel Moe, An Te Lui and others.
