Winka Dubbledum, Architect (Con-Tex-Ture) Book

Like many young Dutch architects who have either worked for Rem Koolhaas or followed in his footsteps, Winka Dubbeldam situates architecture in a larger context of urbanism, society, and technology. Her inventive and colorful work addresses a variety of scales and programs, and displays a mastery of the latest computer techniques in rendering and animation. The results are beautifully illustrated in this lavishly produced large-format monograph, the first on her work.Winka Dubbeldam, Architect presents an impressive selection of this emerging designer's built and unbuilt works through photographs, drawings, computer renderings, and full project descriptions. Among the projects included are the Cristinerose Art Gallery in New York City; an urban design for the Mojave Desert; a competition entry for a port terminal in Yokohama; a redevelopment of the souks in Lebanon; and a redesign of the facade and entry for the Art Academy in Rotterdam. An introduction by Michael Speaks and an essay by Dubbeldam accompany the work.Read More
