The first comprehensive monograph on Jo Coenen. Dutch architect Jo Coenen is not only an architect, but also a city planner, university lecturer, artist, and, until very recently, the Dutch Government Architect. In this role he was responsible for highly important planning projects and was advisor to the government. In his architectural work, he made a name for himself with the construction of the renowned Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAI) in Rotterdam, a striking office tower in Dusseldorf's Mediahafen, and Amsterdam's city library in Oosterdok-Eiland. His urban planning projects include the entire plans for the Vaillantlaan in the Hague, the former "Sphinx Céramique" grounds in Maastricht, and the master plan for the KNSM island in the eastern harbour area of Amsterdam, which attracted international attention. As Government Architect he composed a report "Designing the Netherlands", appealing for the protection of public space from the inconsiderate actions of investors and for the transformation of fragmented living spaces into coherent urban systems.

good item,

This review is from: Jo Coenen (Hardcover)
The book that i purchased was in fair condition just as i had suspected ,given the description. Although it was a good buy it took way to long for me to receive. It frustrated me. I don't understand why if i upgrade to an expedited shipment it takes over a week to ship, but if i buy something on ebay at the normal shipment price it takes a couple of days. I just wish i had known so that i wouldn't have wasted the money.
