De kritiese jaren zeventig = The critical seventies

"This book considers the unique aspects of architecture and urban planning of the 1970s. Projects by Piet Blom, Theo Bosch, Herman Hertzberger, Jan Verhoeven, Ben Loerakker, Carel Weeber and others demonstrate a diversity of design philosophies. There is also a detailed examination of the socio-political contours that stamped their mark on architecture and urban planning. Photojournalistic essays explore aspects such as 'new Dutch' immigrants, public consultation, the decay of the city, activism and experiment." "With the impending demolition or renovation of much of the infrastructure from the 1970s, this book constitutes an important and enduring documentation of this period in the history of Dutch architecture."--BOOK JACKET.
