Taschen's new architecture series brings a unique perspective to world architecture, highlighting architectural trends by country. Each book features 15 to 20 architects - from the firmly established to the up-and-coming - with the focus on how they have contributed to very recent architecture in the chosen nation. Entries include contact information and short biographies in addition to copiously illustrated descriptions of the architects' or firms' most significant recent projects. Crossing the globe from country to country, this new series celebrates the richly hued architectural personality of each nation featured. Architects/firms included are: Wiel Arets; Erick van Egeraat; Herman Hertzberger; Meyer en Van Schooten; MvRdV; Neutlings Riedjik; NOX; OMA Rem Koolhaas; Oosterhuis, NL; Dirk Jan Postel; SeARCH; UN Studio; Koen van Velsen; and Rene van Zuuk.

Reviews

As an architecture student and avid collector of books concerning architecture i was about to order this book from Amazon. But browsing through the selection of images i was very much put off by the big caption 'Neutelings Riedjik' which is supposed to be Neutelings Riedijk.
It comes across very amateurish and it makes me wonder if the writer of this book has an idea of the content he is writing about and isn't just collection nice photographs of famous dutch offices. - Amazon Customer Review

I bought this book for someone interested in Real Estate, and I didnt know what kind of souvenier to bring them from my trip to the Netherlands. It has plenty of beautiful photos of some great buildings, inside and out. It has descriptions too. - Amazon Customer Review
