Met welke redenen grijpen architecten in verschillende tijden, regio's en omstandigheden terug op beelden, vormen of bouwwijzen uit het verleden? En welke middelen zetten architecten in om het beoogde effect te bereiken? Deze vragen staan centraal in het zesde nummer van DASH.Terugkeer naar het architectonisch verleden is geen nieuw verschijnsel. Op vele momenten in de geschiedenis van de architectuur hebben oude vormen als inspiratie gediend: als protest tegen dominante opvattingen, als middel om juist vernieuwing tot stand te brengen of louter uit nostalgie naar vroeger tijden. Zelden is dit teruggrijpen onomstreden. Met name pogingen om oude vormen in hedendaagse materialen terug te brengen, hebben vaak de hoon van de vakwereld opgewekt; of het nu gaat om de vroegnegentiende-eeuwse neogotiek, het werk van de Delftse School uit de 20ste eeuw of het 'nieuwe traditionalisme'. In DASH: Wonen in een nieuw verleden wordt een selectie van woningbouwplannen besproken van onder anderen Baillie Scott, Tessenow, Berghoef, Ridolfi, Krier, Spoerry en Bedaux.DASH (Delft Architectural Studies on Housing Design) wil een internationale bijdrage leveren aan het woningontwerp vanuit een Nederlands perspectief. DASH verschijnt tweemaal per jaar, in samenwerking met de Leerstoel Woningontwerp van de TU Delft.

Hoe kan architectuur bijdragen aan een duurzame samenleving? Testify! The Consequences of Architecture toont de meest inspirerende projecten van internationale architecten uit de hele wereld die de uitdaging zijn aangegaan. Bewoners, gebruikers en omwonenden van duurzame gebouwen en projecten in de openbare ruimte komen aan het woord. Ze vertellen of de bedoeling van de architect ook werkelijk is geslaagd. Welk verschil maken een skate-school in Kabul, een bioscoop in Jenin, wandschilderingen in de favela's van Rio de Janeiro, een tuin in Parijs en een museum in Japan in het dagelijks leven van de mensen die er gebruik van maken? Samensteller Lukas Feireiss laat met ongeveer dertig internationale voorbeelden uit alle vijf continenten letterlijk het bewijs zien hoe architectuur de leefomgeving kan veranderen. De grote sociale en politiek-maatschappelijke thema's van vandaag vragen om nieuwe oplossingen. Met meer dan 200 pagina's, toont Testify! The Consequences of Architecture een nieuwe aanpak van architectuur, stedenbouw en andere creatieve stedelijke praktijken aan het begin van de 21e eeuw.

The Netherlands first developed a policy on "the compact city" about 25 years ago, following the economic crises of the 1970s and the earlier policy of clustered dispersal. The four major Dutch cities in the western Randstad conurbation were then confronted with massive outflows of middle and higher-income residents. At the same time, there were new insights into the importance of strong cities in the emerging global network economy. Issues of rural sustainability, mobility and quality of life were also reconsidered in relation to this urban agenda. It was against this background that a national compact city policy took shape, beginning in the mid-1980s. Today we must redefine that policy in response to globalization, information technology, economic change and the growing importance of sustainable spatial development. This new context differs fundamentally from that of 25 years ago: less financing is available, and time-tested business models are breaking down and European environmental regulations have become more rigid. The articles in this collection take stock of the situation and explore a number of ways that a compact city policy can be meaningful and effective today. Contributors from the worlds of research, government, enterprise and design propose new alliances that can enable these different sectors to achieve their goals in partnership.

A colorful, thoughtfully designed manifesto on the need to build lighter structuresThis book is a call to build lighter. As a result of the rush to ever bigger cars, condos and airplanes, Dutch writers Adriaan Beukers and Ed van Hinte were forced to confront the combination of the growing costs of converting sufficient amounts of energy for production, distribution and waste disposal and the decreasing availability of raw materials. Beyond their call to build lighter, however, the authors give practical advice for doing so. This richly illustrated book provides an extensive overview of everything involved in creating lightweight structures, offering a dazzling array of examples both from the past and future, covering everything from packaging to architecture, from hoverboards to spacecraft, ranging from abstract phenomena to bio-structures and from ancient discoveries to the newest technologies. Every detail is topped off with thorough but lighthearted explanations.

Through stunning aerial and street photography, Iwan Baan pays tribute to one of Dutch modernism's most influential urban designersThe celebrated Dutch architectural photographer Iwan Baan (born 1975) has dedicated his career to capturing the stories told by buildings. This publication compiles his series on Willem Marinus Dudok (1884-1974), known as the father of Dutch modernism. Decades after their construction, Dudok's designs remain keenly relevant for their exceptional spatial sensitivity. In this series, Baan expands his lens to encompass Dudok as a designer not only of singular buildings but of whole landscapes in which people are able to live, work and learn. Through impressive aerial and street photography, Baan conveys the breadth of Dudok's practice as an urban designer, focusing in particular on his ability to expand metropolitan neighborhoods in a way that felt entirely natural. Additional insight into Dudok's craft and its lasting influence on contemporary European architecture is provided by architectural historian Lara Voerman.

On the 20-year oeuvre of one of the most important Dutch artists of his generationThe first monograph on Tjebbe Beekman (born 1972), designed by Irma Boom, provides an overview of the Dutch painter's urban landscapes and interiors, which are typically layered with a multitude of materials such as rope, iron wire and sand.

"With exquisite craftsmanship and dreamy silhouettes, sometimes made from tinkling bells or red carpet, the fashion artists Viktor & Rolf--a real Dutch national treasure--have been creating wearable art for the past 25 years in the most unique and singular style."-Thierry-Maxime Loriot, curator of the exhibition Viktor & Rolf: Fashion Artists 25 YearsSince forming their creative partnership in 1992, Dutch fashion designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren--working together as Viktor&Rolf--have gained critical acclaim for their cerebral, witty and rebellious approach to design, their technical virtuosity and deep knowledge of fashion history. Their spectacular avant-garde creations are showcased in this richly illustrated publication.Throughout their 25-year career, Viktor&Rolf have carved a contradictory identity that pushes the boundaries between art and fashion. Exploring their concept of "wearable art," Viktor&Rolf: Fashion Artists 25 Years features some of the Dutch design duo's most show-stopping works, drawn from the Viktor&Rolf archive as well as museum collections and private collections around the world. It includes an exclusive recent interview by the curator with the designers, a fascinating glossary of Viktor & Rolf and a rich iconography with iconic images by leading artists and photographers such as Cindy Sherman, Andreas Gursky, Herb Ritts, Anton Corbijn, Mert & Marcus, Annie Leibovitz, David LaChapelle, Tim Walker, Nick Knight and Inez & Vinoodh, among others.Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren (both born 1969) graduated in 1992 from ArtEz Institute in Arnhem (The Netherlands) and won the Hyères Festival contest a year later. From 1994, they started to present their haute couture collections as installations, mainly in art galleries. In 2000, they launched their ready-to-wear line for women, and in 2005 they developed their first perfume, Flowerbomb; the following year their first men's perfume, Antidote, was introduced. Presentations of their collections have featured performers such as Tilda Swinton, Tori Amos and Rufus Wainwright. In 2016-17, the exhibition Viktor&Rolf. Fashion Artists was presented at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, followed in 2018 by its adaptation to celebrate the duo's 25th anniversary exhibition at Kunsthal in Rotterdam.

New paradigms for architectural history beyond the linearOver the past two decades, contemporary European architecture has moved past points of view tied exclusively to modern, antimodern and postmodern positions. OASE 109 traces how, against the background of this broadening frame of reference, a different understanding of "modernity" has emerged.

Maaike Schoorel reinvents Netherlandish painting traditionsAmsterdam-based artist Maaike Schoorel (born 1973) belongs to a new generation of painters whose work references the history of Dutch painting. Vera Icon provides a major overview of the artist's work since 2002, illustrating her paintings alongside the source materials that inspired them.

Experts in architecture and literature assess narrative as a tool for designDeveloped in context of the European scientific network EU COST Action, Writingplace 5 approaches a range of narrative methods for analysis and design that deal with socially inclusive urban places.

Bourgeois (1897-1962) was the leading pioneer of the international modernist movement in Belgium, and a key player on the European scene. Despite the refinement of his designs and acuteness of his theoretical insights, Bourgeois has been unjustly forgotten as an architect and urban designer. This book, the first study of Bourgeois' built and textual oeuvre, begins to remedy that.

How museums facilitate their visitor experiences through programming and interior designThis issue of OASE examines how museums not only facilitate but also manipulate encounters between visitors, objects and stories through the staging of their own tours and activities, as well as the intentional design of their entrances, corridors, gift shops, cafes and other spaces.
