  • The Volcanic Foundation of Dutch Architecture: Use of Rhenish Tuff and Trass in the Netherlands in the Past Two Millennia
    The volcanic foundation of Dutch architecture: Use of Rhenish tuff and trass in the Netherlands in the past two millennia Timo G. Nijland 1, Rob P.J. van Hees 1,2 1 TNO, PO Box 49, 2600 AA Delft, the Netherlands 2 Faculty of Architecture, Delft University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands Occasionally, a profound but distant connection between volcano and culture exists. This is the case between the volcanic Eifel region in Germany and historic construction in the Netherlands, with the river Rhine as physical and enabling connection. Volcanic tuff from the Eifel comprises a significant amount of the building mass in Dutch built heritage. Tuffs from the Laacher See volcano have been imported and used during Roman occupation (hence called Römer tuff). It was the dominant dimension stone when construction in stone revived from the 10th century onwards, becoming the visual mark of Romanesque architecture in the Netherlands. Römer tuff gradually disappeared from the market from the 12th century onwards. Early 15th century, Weiberner tuff from the Riedener caldera, was introduced for fine sculptures and cladding; it disappears from use in about a century. Late 19th century, this tuff is reintroduced, both for restoration and for new buildings. In this period, Ettringer tuff, also from the Riedener caldera, is introduced for the first time. Ground Römer tuff (Rhenish trass) was used as a pozzolanic addition to lime mortars, enabling the hydraulic engineering works in masonry that facilitated life and economics in the Dutch delta for centuries. Key words: Tuff, trass, Eifel, the Netherlands, natural stone 1 Introduction Volcanic tuffs have been used as building stone in many countries over the world.

For over 400 years now, the city has been the seat of the Dutch government. Since 1981, it is a royal city again and a city of peace and justice. The Hague is more than 750 years old and has, over the last century-and-a-half, developed into a large urban conglomerate, with a great deal of activity, cultural facilities and first-rate shops. From a town of 75,000 inhabitants in 1850, The Hague has grown into the third largest city of the Netherlands with almost 500,000 inhabitants. Owing to this late but explosive growth, The Hague has very striking architecture from the 19th th and 20 century. The Hague Convention and Visitors Bureau has From 1900, the well-known architect H.P. Berlage created an interesting walk especially for lovers of (1856-1934) made his mark on the city.

El plan director trazado por OMA establece una batería de intervenciones, edificios residenciales, edificios públicos, aparcamien- tos, espacios públicos y una serie de funciones adicionales que generan un nuevo paisaje dentro del contexto urbano. El diseño se basa en el modelo de campus universitario, como disparador para generar una vida urbana abierta. Esto se debe a las condiciones particulares del sitio: un espacio vacío en el centro de la compacta ciudad de Breda, pero que también forma parte de un bolsón verde que sirve de recueste a la ciudad y que está definido por tres parques: el parque de Deportes, el parque Wilhemina y el parque Brabant. El espacio verde funciona como unificador de los diversos edificios que se erigen espaciados en el sitio. Además del plan, OMA proyecto uno de los bloques de viviendas y el aparcamiento. Este conjunto se resuelve mediante un borde de manzana macizo, que se conforma a partir del encastre y apilamiento de tres bloques, donde se desarrollan las viviendas y un volumen central vacío.

September 2015 Actions speak louder than words Rotterdam can easily be regarded as the most dynamic city of the Netherlands. It is the only Dutch city with a true skyline. A skyline that will only get denser in CONTENTS the years to come as more and more high-rise buildings are delivered. It is a city where architecture is used to enhance the quality of life and to revive parts of the city which were lagging behind. It is a city where institutional, top-down schemes METROPOLITAN AREA go well together with smaller, local and often private contributions. A city where page 04 the slogan “actions speak louder than words” is central in its thinking.

  • The Urban and Cultural Climate of Rotterdam Changed Radically Between 1970 and 2000. Opinions Differ About What the Most Importa
    The urban and cultural climate of Rotterdam changed radically between 1970 and 2000. Opinions differ about what the most important changes were, and when they occurred. Imagine a Metropolis shows that it was first and foremost a new perspective on Rotterdam that stimulated the development of the city during this period. If the Rotterdam of 1970 was still a city with an identity crisis that wanted to be small rather than large and cosy rather than commercial, by 2000 Rotterdam had the image of the most metropolitan of all Dutch cities. Artists and other cultural practitioners – a group these days termed the ‘creative class’ – were the first to advance this metropolitan vision, thereby paving the way for the New Rotterdam that would begin to take concrete shape at the end of the 1980s. Imagine a Metropolis goes on to show that this New Rotterdam is returning to its nineteenth-century identity and the developments of the inter-war years and the period of post-war reconstruction.

Urban economists usually assume that high density buildings are merely the result of a high price for land, which provides an incentive to economise on land and to increase expenditure on building capital (Mills, 1967; Fujita, 1989; Lucas and Rossi-Hansberg, 2002).

  • Hoogbouw in De Ruimte
    Master Thesis Economische Geografie Hoogbouw in de Ruimte Rinse Gorter Augustus 2008 Studentnr: 1300083 Begeleider: Prof. Dr. P.H. Pellenbarg Opleiding: Economische geografie 2 -2- Voorwoord Voor u ligt het onderzoek dat ik gedaan heb ter afronding van de masteropleiding Economische Geografie aan de RijksUniversiteit te Groningen. In een paar zinnen voorafgaande aan het werkelijke onderzoek wil ik graag alle mensen in mijn omgeving bedanken voor hun bijdrage, hulp en steun. In het bijzonder wil ik mijn vader bedanken voor zijn op- en aanmerkingen die mij vaak verder hielpen in het schrijfproces. Daarnaast wil ik Prof. Dr. P.H. Pellenbarg bedanken die mij begeleid heeft bij het schrijven van mijn masterthesis. Verder wil ik Dhr. A. Edzes bedanken voor het vervullen van de taak als tweede begeleider. Natuurlijk zijn ook vrienden en andere familieleden onmisbaar geweest bij het tot stand komen van dit eindproduct. Rinse Gorter, 10 juli 2008 3 -3- Abstract This thesis, written in the finalizing stage of the master’s degree in Economic Geography at the RijksUniversiteit Groningen, is about high-rise buildings in the Netherlands. The title ‘Hoogbouw in de Ruimte’ would literally be translated in English as ‘High-rise buildings in Space’ but (because mankind is still not able to build on the moon) should be read as ‘high- rise buildings and their environment’. High-rise buildings in the Netherlands are starting to play an increased role in Dutch municipal policy. Because of the lack in national high rise building policy, most of the major cities have developed their own policy on skyscrapers. When we look at the history of the skyscraper in the Netherlands, there has been a shift from public development before the 1980’s to private development after 1990.
