Search their projects online and contact them: http://dutcharchitects.org/ Although the Netherlands is a small country, Dutch architecture has spread around the world. Dutch architects are recognised internationally for their successful approach to: Water management Affordable housing Urban planning Complex assignments They bring a wide array of skills to the job, including: Thinking out-of-the-box Pragmatic considerations in the process Cost-aware Investigative: seeking out innovative solutions and applications Collaborating with various parties Combining creativity with an enterpreneurial spirit
The visionaries that head up Amsterdam-based firm NL Architects, gained international recognition with their revolutionary use of urban spaces to create hybrid structures that turn convention on its head. Favouring pragmatism over ideology, they found meaning in the banal aspects of contemporary life. From a recyclable power plant that doubles as an urban sports facility to a supermarket and mini marina under an elevated highway, they seek out the unexplored potential of stagnating urban spaces. With practicality as a guiding principle throughout their work, NL Architects embrace the tension between the rational and the absurd, finding unexpected humour in their adherence to logic and reason. http://www.nlarchitects.nl CREDITS Commissioning editor Submarine: Geert van de Wetering Produ...
The 4 partners of Next architects have always explored the boundaries of the architectural domain. At Next Architects, elaborate research is always paired with pragmatic solutions. Size is not restrictive. As their approach serves both small scale projects as well as grand urban designs. Characteristic for Next Architects is their analytic use of layers and the original ways they invent to combine different, sometimes even contradicting demands. They inventively connect separate building layers to create simple looking but complex structures. This focus on complementary contrasts turns up in their ideas on slow and fast, a dynamic concept that has always played a quintessential role in their design approach. Since 2004 Next architects has a headquarters in Beijing, China. Partner, John van...
René van Zuuk built a dream home for his family in Almere, just 40 minutes drive from Amsterdam. The location known as the fantasy quarter allowed him to build practically without any restrictions.
As former Governmental Advisor on Landscape and one of the directors of H+N+S Landscape Architects, Dirk Sijmons explains, the Netherlands is a mostly man-made body of land. As it is surrounded for a large part by the sea, and indeed is partly situated below sea-level, water management is a big concern. Luckily, mastering complex water issues is precisely what H+N+S excels in. Currently one of their major projects is the National Park De Hoge Veluwe, a nature area spanning 55 square kilometres. The redesign is based on the idea of articulating the characteristics of the various landscapes that can be experienced there. http://www.hnsland.nl CREDITS Commissioning editor Submarine: Geert van de Wetering Producer: Olivia Sophie van Leeuwen Research: Liselot Francken Director: Rob Schroder...
Sjoerd Soeters, from Soeters Van Eldonk Architects, is an architect and urban planner. Under his supervision, large-scale urban projects have been developed. Projects like the Java Island in Amsterdam and Haverleij, a complex of nine castles in Den Bosch. Critics describe Soeters' designs as populist, a notion that Soeters doesn't contradict. He prefers to build for the general public rather than for his peers. This design mentality, and his continuous revolt against modernism, have earned him a reputation as the enfant terrible of the Dutch architecture world. Soeters was asked to design a new city centre for Zaanstad, a town near Amsterdam. For this assignment he sought inspiration in the local Zaanstad architectural vernacular. http://www.soetersvaneldonk.nl CREDITS Commissioning ...
Dutch architects to build world's first 3D printed house For more Latest and Breaking News Headlines SUBSCRIBE to https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperNewsPlanet Almost every day for the past month, a crowd of curious onlookers has gathered in northern Amsterdam to gawp at three curious structures. Measuring 2.5 meters tall high and 1.7 meters wide, the large plastic blocks look like little more than oversized liquorice candy or a confusing attempt at surrealist art. Appearances can be deceiving. According to DUS Architects, the Dutch company behind the project, these innocuous black objects are stage one of what will eventually be the world's first 3D printed house. It is made using a "KamerMaker" machine, a giant, custom-made version of a desktop 3D printer that produces a material 10 time...
The iconic buildings of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, OMA, and its core principles as embodied by Rem Koolhaas, have gained worldwide attention since it's foundation in 1975. The philosophy and aesthetic developed for competition submissions for and the Centre for Art and Mediatechnology in Karlsruhe, La Villette, the Jussieu campus and the Très Grande Biblioteque in Paris, garnered frenzied international attention and were finally realised in De Kunsthal in Rotterdam. Rem Koolhaas' intensive conceptual thinking about architecture and social circumstances ran simultaneously from the very early stages of his career. With a background in journalism and scriptwriting - his curiosity, research and urge to analyse are basics of his and OMA's working process. It is this approac...
