Arcam Pocket 10 - Amsterdam in Detail

€ 5,00
For some people, Amsterdam is just the city of canals; others only have eye for the Amsterdam School or the achievement of modern architecture. Few people, however, are aware of the city's less spectacular riches: the beauty of innumerable, seemingly minor elements such as the hoisting beam, the bannister, the texture of a facade, a sculptured street corner or pavements green with elm-tree seeds. In this book 27 authors -among them architects and urban designers, landscape architects, historians and a journalist- give their views on Amsterdam in details. With texts by Stan Allen, Ben van Berkel, Aldo van Eyck, Adriaan Geuze, Hermen Hertzberger, Henk Hofland, Renzo Piano and others.
