Summary: Interesting Projects, Comprehensive but Not In Depth
Comment: This book is a comprehensive monogrpah of the renowed dutch architectural practice. Starting from single houses in the early years to the recent XL projects such as high rise office building and airport, most of the major projects are covered. Some of the photographs are very interesting as the photographers play around with reflection on glass, local people (e.g. cleaners on maintenance walkway, yuppies on motocycles), etc. in the architectural shoots, which are very rare in the architectural publication. However, due to the large no. of projects and large sized photographs (each of which usally take up one page, if not two), the selection of drawings and photographs are very limited, not to metion the architectural detailing of the projects which are very appealing. For example, there are few photos and drawings for the very interesting high-rise office building which was built over a running highway. The coverage on the airport complex project is also very limited. When compared to the recent monograph publication on dutch architects, e.g. MOVE of Ban van Berkel, SMLXL of OMA, etc., the coverage of projects, touch with the architect as well as graphic design of this book are relatively not appealing.
Consequently, as a mongraph of Benthem Crouwel, it is a valuable publication waited for long time.
