The Netherlands is reputed to have the highest average population density in the world though it is increasingly becoming distributed in low density suburban areas threatening to transform the country into a sort of city state. The architects' bureau MVRDV and students at Delft University have sought to remedy this situation by proposing areas of ultra-density inserted into pastoral landscapes. This book sets out to discover the prospects and limitations, the world of the extreme Floor Area Ratio, or FARMAX.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE EXQUISITE POT 'O' PUDDUNG, January 24, 2000

This review is from: Farmax (Paperback)

Once when I was a mere chocolate bar in my father's back-pockete, I gained an innate awareness of the existence of the Realm of the Impossible. It was a small room, the door was sticky, and the pungent odor of homemade mayonnaise was almost too much to bear. It was only due to my fierce will to survive that I was able to write three twenty dollar checks payable to your mother-in-law. She, horrendous creature that she is, waited three months before cashing the cheques, causing all three to bounce. I used my copy of Farmax to surf to California, and freedom. What a great book!
