The popularity and influence of Dutch architecture has grown to a global force over the last ten years. A whole generation of designers, whose work is characterized by inventiveness, ingenuity and dynamic form, has created a breathtaking body of recent work that has aptly been described as the ?Second Modernity?.

Each profile features the studios? most recent projects, with a full analytical text, stunning photography and ample plans. The volume concludes with a special chapter on emerging talents and a reference section with architect information.
Innovatively designed, SuperDutch is the definitive record of the most exciting and provocative body of work of the last decade.
