Mart Stam’s Trousers.
Stories from behind the Scenes of Dutch Moral Modernism
In the last several years, the Netherlands has successfully exported the image of a young and adventurous Modern Dutch architecture. While the rest of the world’s young architects look on with envy, a euphoric and self congratulatory atmosphere suffuses the work of young Dutch architects and critics. One of the most appealing features of this ’Nineties Dutch Modernism’ is its historical connection to what many feel to be the moral authority of early 20th century Dutch Modern architecture. Indeed, it is this tradition of moral modernism which is still thought to define contemporary Dutch architecture. Unlike in the United States and in many European and Asian countries, Modernism in the Netherlands was never threatened by postmodern relativism. Modernism, it might be said, remained pure. Mart Stam’s Trousers, Stories from behind the Scenes of Dutch Moral Modernism examines how this new image of contemporary Dutch architecture has been constructed by carefully revisiting the image of Dutch Modernism on which it draws.
While Holland and the rest of the world want to believe in the intrinsically moral character of Dutch Modern architecture, the image ’Dutch Moral Modernism’ was, in fact, artfully crafted by some of the most illustrious names in 20th century architecture: Jaap Bakema (Team X, Forum), J.J.P. Oud, Philip Johnson, and Alison and Peter Smithson. The title, Mart Stam’s Trousers, comes from an interview with Peter Smithson which appears in the book. In the interview, Smithson relates the story of a photograph of Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier in which a mysterious form is purported to be the trousered leg of Mart Stam, the rest of whose body has been successfully erased from the picture. It is such manipulation of the historical picture of Modernism that is the subject of the book. Indeed, this is just one of the many stories (in the form of interviews, photo-essays, historical correspondence, artists pages, microhistory, manifesto, reprint, theoretical text, timeline and storyboard) told by friends and enemies of Dutch Moral Modernism. Authors, artists and interviewees include Peter Smithson, Bart Gorter, Rem Koolhaas, Michelle Provoost, Carel Weeber, Dolf Broekhuizen, Ed Taverne, Gerard Fox, Joost Meuwissen & Matthijs Bouw, Philip Johnson, J.J.P.

Michael Kasiske in Bauwelt # 24, 2000
This compact paperback, packed with illustrations, stimulating and opinionated, is a beautifully produced Dutch delight. A little tart, perhaps? Architect David Wild in The Architects’ Journal, March 20th 2000 Of all European countries, the Netherlands has unrivalled claims to the richest modernist architectural heritage. It is a lineage that descends from De Stijl and the International Style, through to the contemporary work of MVRDV, Rem Koolhaas and Van Berkel, and Bos. This historical connection with so-called Dutch Moral Modernism is examined in Mart Stam’s Trousers, an architectural history that romps playfully through the decades, part detective history, part dissection. A collaboration between the Crimson Group of architectural historians, Wouter Vanstiphout and Cassandra Wilkins, Michael Speaks, and Gerard Hadders, ’Mart Stam’s Trousers’ examines how Dutch architecture came to be heralded by the chroniclers of the International Style.[...] The title revers to the most visible rearrangement of the memory of Dutch modernism, the careful (although not careful enough) removal of Mart Stam from a photograph with Corb and Mies leaving only a hint of trouser. Reminiscent of David King’s fascinating study of Stalinist-era photographic manipulation, The Commisar Vanishes, this editing of history in the darkroom mirrors the valiant way the early chroniclers of modernism, Hitchcock, Johnson, Smithson et al, strove to reshape the history of modern architecture to their own ends.[...] De Stijl’s visual power led it to become akey focus for early advocates of a unified modern movement, notably Philip Johnson. Heralding JJP Oud as one of the great modern masters, Johnson carefully edited Oud’s built work, neglecting to publish the great brick housing shemes in favour of the clean, clinical modernism of his projects at Kiefhoek and Witte Dorp.[...] A fascinating correspondence began between the two men as Johnson plied his hero with bicycle tyres and socks. At the same time he expressed his bewilderment at Oud’s apparent desertion of the modernist cause as the Dutchman has used - shock, horror - ornament, in his Shell Buiding of 1938-46. It heralded the end of the correrspondence. Oud signed off forlorny: ’If America does not like my future, it could, at all events, have respect for my past that helped its architects too’.[...] The shadow of Rem falls long across these pages. Koolhaas’ S,M,X,XL [shouldn’t this be S,M,L,XL? (ed.)] was a pivotal moment in modernist self-promotion (the return of the book as manifesto); MVRDV followed with FARMAX, and Van Berkel and Bos with the chunky Move. The buildings discussed here are snapped in full, late-century reportage style, with Martin Parresque colour, taking care to include the racist graffiti, chilly soft-porn shoots and urban detritus that escapes the calculating eye of the collaborative biographer and the monograph. Rich in irony, Mart Stam’s Trousers cuts through the century-old tradition that has informed architecture in the Netherlands. The cover bears rows of identical cubicles and red litter bins ranked on hard-standing. This is Rotterdam’s Municipal Heroin Prostitution Tolerance Zone, perhaps the ultimate form of Dutch moral modernism?[...] The modern movement has its myths. Even the most clinically crisp and structurally honest building has secrets. But architecture lends itself to eulogy. Crimson is to be congratulated on laying bare the means by which we arrive at a view of the past, and how the present shapes the past in order to justify its means.

Over acupunctuur in Hoogvliet, of: Het kleine WiMBY! boek
In dit boek wordt teruggeblikt op het resultaat van zes jaar vrije R&D in Hoogvliet. De vraag die hierbij centraal staat is: heeft een onafhankelijke, flexibele, maar vooral atypische organisatie als WiMBY! een zinvolle bijdrage kunnen leveren aan de kwalitatieve opwaardering van Hoogvliet en heeft de acupuncturele WiMBY!-aanpak mogelijkerwijs een voorbeeldwerking voor andere wijken en steden elders in Nederland? De inhoud van dit boekwerk is de tekstuele weerslag van een aantal intensieve gesprekken die Felix Rottenberg, mandaathouder van WiMBY!, het afgelopen halfjaar voerde met een aantal leidende en prominente spelers in het Hoogvlietse speelveld, variërend van politieke bestuurders en corporatie-directeuren tot bewoners.

Rotterdam en de architectuur van J.H. van den Broek
Mechanized, expanded, bombed and reconstructed: from the late 19th to the mid 20th century, Rotterdam was the plaything of external forces. Grand schemes to give elegant and coherent shape to the city failed one after the other. One man who succeeded in profoundly influencing this unmanageable city was the architect J.H. van den Broek (1898-1978).
This compact paperback contains more than 280 illustrations, including many photographs taken by the author.

Architect van de vooruitgang
In de Nederlandse architectuur hebben weinig gebouwen de glamour en onbeschaamde allure van werken als het Johnson Wax-kantoor in Mijdrecht, de Euromast, het Hiltonhotel en het Groothandelsgebouw in Rotterdam of het Provinciehuis in Den Bosch. Al deze gebouwen zijn van Huig Maaskant. In dit boek wordt zijn werk beschreven als onderdeel van de enerverende en opwindende wereld van de jaren vijftig en zestig, waarin alles ieder jaar weer een beetje beter, groter en rijker werd. Alleen door een handvol intellectuelen werd getobd over de negatieve kanten van automobiliteit, technologie, massamaatschappij, verstedelijking of toerisme, de rest van Nederland gaf zich over aan het ongebrijdeld genieten van de nieuwe mogelijkheden en verworvenheden.

de Architekten Cie.
An architectural office that has kissed goodbye to the idea of a harmonious body of work, a single recognizable style and an individual artistic endeavour, a firm whose ’anti-oeuvre’ is defined by social and economic developments. Such is de Architekten Cie., since 1988 the umbrella name for the practices of founding members Pi de Bruijn and Frits van Dongen and newcomers Branimir Medic/Pero Puljiz and Pieter van Wesemael. Fellow co-founders Carel Weeber and Jan Dirk Peereboom Voller recently left the fold. In this first serious publication in which the architects present themselves as a group (de Architekten Cie.) Crimson Architectural Historians and lensman Marcel Molle, rather than humbling themselves before The Architect, flaunt their critical independence.

Crimson Architectural Historians 1994-2002
Forced to find beauty in mediocrity, poetry in pragmatism, history in the absence of monuments and the future in the past, Crimson has been shaped by the experience of living and working in Rotterdam, the city that never thinks. Over the past seven years they have produced research projects, plans and initiatives that range from purely historical studies, book reviews and critiques of contemporary architecture to exhibitions, panoramas and urban planning schemes. For them, history is not a clear-cut period in the past but a total panoramic experience in which mythology, truth, writing, building and demolition intermingle. The Crimson historians don’t keep their distance, they dive right in.

Architecture and City after the Tabula Rasa
’Post.Rotterdam is an imaginary urban landscape, an alter-ego of the city itself, initially composed of four circular panoramas, in a sort of ’journey-collage’ of its recent history proposed by Michelle Provoost, Wouter Vanstiphout and Ewout Dorman (Crimson), in a second instance, within the entitled Hyperscapes, it is shaped by a collection of nine architectural containers which express with audio-visual support, the product of the most significant Rotterdam architectural offices selected and analysed by Pedro Gadanho (CUC).

Welcome into My Backyard!
In 2001 ging de Internationale Bouwtentoonstelling (IBT) Rotterdam-Hoogvliet van start met als overkoepelend thema WiMBY! (Welcome into My Backyard!). Hoogvliet, een Rotterdamse satellietstad dicht bij haven en industrie met hoogwaardige voorzieningen voor de hele regio, staat model voor de idealen van de stedenbouw in de wederopbouwperiode in Nederland. De actuele ontwikkelingen op stedenbouwkundig gebied vragen echter om een vergaande herstructurering van de oorspronkelijke opzet van de stad.

Stories from behind the Scenes of Dutch Moral Modernism
In the last several years, the Netherlands has successfully exported the image of a young and adventurous Modern Dutch architecture. While the rest of the world’s young architects look on with envy, a euphoric and self congratulatory atmosphere suffuses the work of young Dutch architects and critics. One of the most appealing features of this ’Nineties Dutch Modernism’ is its historical connection to what many feel to be the moral authority of early 20th century Dutch Modern architecture. Indeed, it is this tradition of moral modernism which is still thought to define contemporary Dutch architecture. Unlike in the United States and in many European and Asian countries, Modernism in the Netherlands was never threatened by postmodern relativism. Modernism, it might be said, remained pure. Mart Stam’s Trousers, Stories from behind the Scenes of Dutch Moral Modernism examines how this new image of contemporary Dutch architecture has been constructed by carefully revisiting the image of Dutch Modernism on which it draws.
