Abstract

A pre-condition for inclusion of the ten Dutch architectural offices in this publication was that participating architects should have their own architectural office. For the rest, all belong to a young generation that is building up an interesting personal oeuvre via competitions and with the help of start-up grants. Bosch Haslett ; Max 1 ; NL Architects ; Buro Schie. ; VMX Architects ; Marx & Steketee ; MVRDV ; NOX ; Endry van Velzen ; René van Zuuk. NINE + ONE are something of a paradox : while the ten offices have similar attitudes towards architecture this does not result in stylistically similar architecture. But this is the paradox of presentday reality, where new developments refuse to submit to traditional pigeon-holing. Perhaps what unites the participants is most of all an analytic approach. In the comparative simplicity of their basic approach, architectonic form is the result of a design strategy and not of stylistic idiom. They see designing as an organizing task, as a method for arranging the spatial-programmatic aspects of society. Young architects, still searching for a personal stance and as yet unencumbered by the impediments of later practice, are often able to find innovative ways of avoiding the limitations of regulations. This is certainly true of the generation represented here by a group of exceptionally versatile and open-minded young architects. This group of architects has no ambition to form a new school. Hence the name NINE + ONE, which implies that there is always someone (never the same one) at odds with the rest.

Abstract

"According to urban academic myth the first restaurants emerged in the wake of the French Revolution. From the very beginning in the elegant salons of the latter days of the Ancien Régime, the design of restaurants has been closely related to ideas of how food should be presented and how it may be consumed in public. The appearance and atmosphere created by restaurant owners reflects culturally embedded ideals of comfort, sociability and the good life. As a product of the modern metropolis, the restaurant encapsulates and illustrates the profound change in how its patrons viewed themselves as individuals, how they used their cities and how they met friends or business partners over a meal. The architectural design of environments for the consumption of food necessarily involves an exploration and a manipulation of the human experience of space. It reflects ideas about public and private behaviour for which the restaurant offers a stage. Famous architects were commissioned to provide designs for restaurants, in order to lure in an ever more demanding urban clientele. The interior designs of restaurants were often employed to present this particular aspect in consciously evoking an imagery of sophisticated modernity. This book presents the restaurant, its cultural and typological history as it evolved over time. In this unique combination it provides valuable knowledge for designers and students of design, and for everyone interested in the cultural history of the modern metropolis"--
