- Dutch/English publicationBook description: Once again this successful annual publication presents a selection of the most memorable Dutch architecture of the past year. In-depth descriptions and a wealth of illustrations document more than 30 projects realized in 2002 including work by Abel Cahen, Claus en Kaan, Diederen Dirrix Van Wylick, Erick van Egeraat associated architects, Karelse Van der Meer, KCAP, Metz & de Pagter, Meyer en Van Schooten, MVRDV, Paul de Ruiter, Sluijmer & Van Leeuwen, Wiel Arets and SeARCH. The book closes with a roundup of the year's major awards, competitions, exhibitions and publications.In the Yearbook, the editors show how much architecture has become an inseparable component of the culture industry. Design value is steadily taking over from practical value as the hub of our information society. This concern for design has ushered in an endless stream of fascinating buildings clearly destined for the international spotlight. Aided by analyses of over 30 spectacular new buildings, the Dutch government's policy on architecture and the different media strategies wielded by the various players, the Yearbook's editors set out to discover how the present situation was able to arise, and what the opportunities are of moving on beyond design as its own propaganda. Examining the contents of the previous 15 editions of the Yearbook has, in addition, yielded what in effect is an atlas of an imaginary 'Yearbooktopia'.
- It was once not considered foolish to dream great dreams. Imagining a new, better world energized thinkers and spurred their resistance to the status quo. Now utopian dreams are rare. Instead of chasing after elusive ideals, we prefer to surf the turbulent waves of free market global capitalism. In our wildly prosperous First World—brimful of computerized production, technological and genetic applications, and commercial and cultural entertainment—reality can seem more exciting than dreams. Some even maintain that the ideals we strove for in the past have now become reality: according to Third Way politics, the neoliberal economic engine simply needs a bit of fine-tuning; late capitalism is the only game in town: although social rights and a measure of equality are needed, globalism can only be accommodated.1According to this free market fundamentalism, utopian attempts to change society lead to dictatorships. Not only conservatives think this. Neo-Marxists Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri argue that the organization of resistance in the margins is no longer necessary now that resistance is active in the very heart of society.2 They believe that late capitalism is so complex and dynamic that it is capable of switching automatically from an alienating equilibrium of control into a potentiality for multiple freedoms. Everything is changing much faster than we ever imagined it could. Until the 1980s, mainstream cultural institutions condemned the transgressive operations of the avant-garde, whereas today they support and favor trangressive works, because they gain publicity from scandal. Time and time again, global capitalism has shown itself capable of transforming its initial limitations into challenges that culminate in new investments. One important consequence of this is that earlier forms of social criticism and social engagement are outmoded. Thus many reflective architects believe that it no longer makes any sense to spend time constructing new ideologies or criticizing “the system.” Instead, they draw inspiration from the perpetual mutations of late capitalism.3
