Europan 8 in Nederland / Europan 8 In the Netherlands Europena Urbanity And Strategic Projects

Europan is a biennial competition for architects and architecture students under the age of 40 that looks for innovative housing designs for real, specific sites across Europe. Guidelines encourage participants to address social and economic changes occurring around their sites, and, for this eighth Europan, that's 74 properties across the continent. This year's theme of "European Urbanity and Strategic Projects" drew, for the six sites in the Netherlands alone, nearly 160 designs. Europan 8 offers a complete overview of the winning plans for the Dutch sites, including models, plans, sketches and interviews with the designers. The project section is complemented by descriptions of the six sites, an essay about the central theme, and a critique of the entries from a European perspective. An additional CD-ROM contains all other entries along with the prizewinning designs.Vos, Emmie is the author of 'Europan 8 in Nederland / Europan 8 In the Netherlands Europena Urbanity And Strategic Projects', published 2006 under ISBN 9789056624996 and ISBN 9056624997.
