Description: "Living in the Lowlands tells the story of two centuries of housing in the Netherlands. This story includes accounts of the famous Plan Zuid in Amsterdam and the post-war reconstruction of Pendrecht in Rotterdam, as well as the new town of Almere - the nation's housing construction laboratory - and Ypenburg's experiments in housing." "Bringing together models, photographs, sketches and drawings by many famous architects, including P. J. H. Cuypers, J. J. P. Oud, H. P. Berlage, Van den Broek en Bakema, Adriaan Geuze and Rem Koolhaas/OMA, the book displays a broad selection of treasures from the Netherlands Architecture Institute's collection. Moreover, the book sheds new light on our everyday environment by showing the passion and care with which architects created it."--BOOK JACKET.
