This year the respected Dutch architecture journal "OASE" celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary. Over the years, "OASE" has evolved into an international resource in which a reflective and critical approach to architecture, urban development and landscape architecture is the mainstay. Its jubilee is being marked by a special, double-thick English-language edition of the journal that compiles all of its most important historical essays and background articles, making a great many key texts accessible to an international readership for the first time. This anthology affords an overview of the themes that have dominated architectural discourse in the Netherlands, Belgium and beyond over recent decades, set in a broader context by new texts by prominent architecture historians. Thus, this volume is an important source of information on developments in academic debate as well as professional practice in the fields of architecture, urban design and landscape architecture.

In this book you will find another manifestation of this sub-culture. It takes the form of a report on a competition entitled 'The school of architecture as a subject of design', in which architectural students were invited to design a school of architecture for the future. The organizer, the Netherlands Architecture Institute, received over 400 entries from all over the world, from China to Mexico, from Sweden to Australia. In addition to the space devoted to the winning designs, the book also provides a qualitative and quantitative overview of the entries. In analysing the variety of answers to the competition brief it offers a fascinating insight into the ambitions and dreams of a future generation of architects.
