De architect en ontwerper Eduard Cuypers (1859-1927) is nu vooral bekend als ‘vader van de Amsterdamse School’, maar hij was veel meer dan dat. Tegenover het sterk nationaal-gebonden ‘rationalisme’ van Berlage en diens volgelingen was hij een protagonist van de kosmopolitisch georiënteerde eclectische stroming in de bouwkunst. Hij betoonde zich een virtuoos in uiteenlopende stijlen en bouwde zowel in Nederland als in Nederlands-Indië een omvangrijk oeuvre op. Eduard Cuypers was behalve architect ook interieurontwerper en decoratief kunstenaar, die het ‘Atelier voor decoratieve kunst Het Huis’ oprichtte. Ook gaf hij een aantal tijdschriften uit die zich niet alleen richtten op bouw- en sierkunst, maar ook op volkskunst, heemkunde en vele facetten van de Insulinde.

"Smart Water Harvesting" describes a number of creative solutions in situations where there seems to be no water. It shows practical efforts to create water, especially in drought prone areas. It does not limit itself to the act of harvesting, but includes capturing water during periods of rain, so that it is available for periods of drought. Many of the technologies highlighted in this booklet are traditional, but neglected in the modern world, as people try to become less dependent on the wiles of nature. There is an increasing awareness that rather than fighting against nature, people should co-operate with it. That is what water harvesting tries to do.

"The first years of this century witnessed the birth in Amsterdam of a movement which with its sculptural opulence of form would alter dramatically the appearance of that city. Under the leadership of architects like Wijdeveld, Kramer and De Klerk there evolved an expressionist visual language which under the name of Amsterdam School would create a stir on an international scale. Here, aided by almost 500 illustrations, is a comprehensive survey of many designs produced by the Amsterdam School, including such masterpieces as Van der Mey's Scheepvaarthuis, Berlage's plan for Amsterdam South, Kramer's bridges and De Klerk's De Dageraad and Eigen Haard housing estates. The work also deals with the carvings of Hildo Krop, street furniture, furniture designs and domestic interiors. The extensive bibliography and biographies of the most important architects make this an indispensable work of reference."--

Based on close reading of historical documents--poetry as much as statistics--and focused on the conceptualization of technology, this book is an unconventional evocation of late colonial Netherlands East Indies (today Indonesia). In considering technology and the ways that people use and think about things, Rudolf Mrázek invents an original way to talk about freedom, colonialism, nationalism, literature, revolution, and human nature. The central chapters comprise vignettes and take up, in turn, transportation (from shoes to road-building to motorcycle clubs), architecture (from prison construction to home air-conditioning), optical technologies (from photography to fingerprinting), clothing and fashion, and the introduction of radio and radio stations. The text clusters around a group of fascinating recurring characters representing colonialism, nationalism, and the awkward, inevitable presence of the European cultural, intellectual, and political avant-garde: Tillema, the pharmacist-author of Kromoblanda; the explorer/engineer IJzerman; the "Javanese princess" Kartina; the Indonesia nationalist journalist Mas Marco; the Dutch novelist Couperus; the Indonesian novelist Pramoedya Ananta Toer; and Dutch left-wing liberal Wim Wertheim and his wife. In colonial Indies, as elsewhere, people employed what Proust called "remembering" and what Heidegger called "thinging" to sense and make sense of the world. In using this observation to approach Indonesian society, Mrázek captures that society off balance, allowing us to see it in unfamiliar positions. The result is a singular work with surprises for readers throughout the social sciences, not least those interested in Southeast Asia or colonialism more broadly.

Sejarah Arsitektur Modern Indonesia terbangun dari ketegangan pemikiran dan perdebatan tentang gagasan-gagasan arsitektural yang seringkali bertentangan. Namun, justru ketegangan-ketegangan itulah yang sampai sekarang mengakibatkan wacananya terus berlanjut, dan membangun bentang sejarah Arsitektur Modern Indonesia tersebut. Perdebatan yang dibicarakan di atas juga terjadi di kalangan arsitek yang bekerja di Indonesia. Arsitek-arsitek muda Belanda yang bekerja di Indonesia di awal abad ke-20 menentang jenis arsitektur yang diciptakan oleh unit zeni militer di kepulauan jajahan. Beberapa arsitek seperti Schoemaker, Thomas Karsten dan Maclaine Pont merupakan arsitek muda yang progresif pada masanya. Kemudian masa sesudah tahun 1945, setelah Proklamasi Kemerdekaan, pertentangan antara pemikiran arsitektur baru dan yang mapan juga terjadi. Masa-masa ini ditandai dengan era arsitektur modern di Indonesia sebagaimana citra Indonesia yang ingin dibentuk oleh Sukarno. Di masa 1950-an ada sebuah kelompok arsitek muda, ATAP, yang mengusung modernisme. Di masa setelah Sukarno ada Atelier 6 dengan konsep desain yang mencari lokalitas. Lalu, muncul sekelompok arsitek muda yang membentuk sebuah forum diskusi bernama Arsitek Muda Indonesia (AMI). Saat ini, muncul juga berbagai kelompok arsitek muda di beberapa tempat di Indonesia. Memang, ada kalanya perdebatan-perdebatan tersebut kurang tampak pada permukaan. Tetapi, dari konsep-konsep desain, tampilan karya maupun pernyataan-pernyataan para arsitek dapat terlihat—albeit secara tersirat—adanya perdebatan antar generasi yang berbeda maupun antara arsitek-arsitek dari generasi yang sama. Perdebatan seperti ini masih merupakan kisah yang berlanjut hingga kini, sekalipun topik yang diperdebatkan telah berubah.

This book reveals the ‘epistemic imposition’ of architectural ideas and practices by colonists from the Netherlands in the Dutch East Indies from the late-19th century onwards, exploring the ways in which this came to shape the profession up to the present day in what is now known as Indonesia. The author investigates the scope of these interventions by Dutch colonial agents in relation to existing Javanese building practices, pursuing two main lines of enquiry. The first is to examine the methods of dissemination of Dutch-taught technical knowledge and skills across the Dutch East Indies. The second is to scrutinise the effects of this dissemination upon the formation of architectural knowledge and practice within the colony. Throughout this book, the argument is made that what took place in architecture in the Dutch East Indies involved a process of disseminating building knowledge as a form of ‘epistemic imposition’ upon the indigenous citizens of the colony – in other words, as an effective instrument of Dutch colonial power. This book will be of interest to architecture academics and students interested in developing a broader global understanding of architecture, especially those interested in decolonising the teaching of architectural history and theory.

Experimentation and Dutch design have long gone hand in hand, from postage stamps to the Rietveld chair to the clean simplicity of Schiphol airport. Mienke Simon Thomas skillfully details the groundbreaking accomplishments and popular products of Dutch design in Dutch Design Culture. Thomas, a museum curator, delves deeply into the rich design history of the Netherlands, beginning with the historical roots of Dutch crafts education and the moral and social ideals of modernism that became central to the nation’s cultural dialogue. Touching upon such issues as the emergence of the professional industrial designer, public work initiatives, debates about design as art, and the provocative notion of “anti-design,” Thomas argues that though Dutch design from the beginning has been driven by aims of functionality, simplicity, and affordability, it has also embraced luxury and exclusivity. The book also discusses the role played by leading Dutch designers and their works, including Wim Crouwel, Marcel Wanders, and the design collective Droog Design. An unprecedented, detailed history, Dutch Design Culture is a critical primer on one of the leading national design movements today.

With contributions from provocative art and architectural historians, this book is a unique exposition of the temporary architecture erected for festivals and the role it has played in developing Western architectural and urban theory. Festival Architecture is arranged in historical periods – from Antiquity to the modern era – and divided between analyses of specific festivals, set in relation to contemporary architecture and urban design ideas and theories. Illustrated with a wealth of unusual and rarely-seen images from the European festival tradition, this is a fascinating outline of the history of festival architecture ideal for postgraduate architecture and urban design students.
