An Equine Anthology stitches together non-linear histories, testimonies, and interpretations of equine culture from the American Southwest and beyond. Far from representing binaries of the romantic and mundane, of personality and commodity, An Equine Anthology presents the reader with a broad topographical view of the horse, an image that reaches well beyond that of American mythology. M12's anthology combines poetics with research methodologies that delve into the unseen, hidden, and overlooked to create a work that is greater than the sum of its parts.”  - Sanjit Sethi

This publication accompanies the first solo-exhibition about the Hungarian photographer Andor von Barsy's (1899 – 1965) with photographs he took in Rotterdam. The exhibition in the Nederlands Fotomuseum  takes place from January 15 till April 3, 2011.

Von Barsy is mostly known for his movies, but since 1930 he also worked on photo reports at the harbours of Rotterdam. These photos are now for the first time at show. He aimed his camera on cranes and bridges to catch a dynamic image of the modern steal constructions. Von Barsy experimented with positions, lines and shapes to give his photos an abstract character.

Von Barsy's movies are shown at the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2011 (IFFR 2011), like De stad die nooit rust (1928) and the experimental movie Hoogstraat(1930).

The publication Andor van Barsy: photographer in Rotterdam 1927 – 1942 will include around 100 photographs with an introduction by art historian and critic Frits Gierstberg, head of exhibitions at the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam.

This book is published by Jap Sam Books in cooperation with Podium voor Architectuur Haarlemmermeer en Schiphol

The Office for Architecture Drost + van Veen in Rotterdam looks at landscape as their primary source of inspiration for their designs. These designs either strongly merge into the context of their landscape or really stand out like a beacon. Next to this conceptual approach, materialization is quite an important aspect of the working method for these two architects, whom both were originally educated as interior designers. Their bridges at business park 'De President' in the South of International Airport Schiphol won the Architecture Prize Haarlemmermeer 2009.

This book shows us a selection of projects, giving a clear vision of Drost + van Veen's method of working; as an introduction the architects tell us about their approach and inspiration in an interview with Harm Tilman, editor of chief of de Architect. Marieke Berkers and Dorine van Hoogstraten place their work in a broader context of international developments. The magnificent projects shown in this book demonstrate how landscape has an increasing role in architecture.

Contributors: Harm Tilman, Dorine van Hoogstraten, Marieke Berkers, Justa van Bergen, Mathias Lehner, Simone Drost and Evelien van Veen.

Nieuw-Vennep Zuid, just another common business park in the Haarlemmermeer area? Certainly not! A business park with a vision: an elaborate urban development plan, an ambitious landscape design and a first-rate architectural execution.

This book portrays this exceptional business park, its buildings and the whole process of realization in word and image. Substantive articles throw light on the relations between local and national interests and the influence of these interests on the evolved residential and working landscape.The relationship between the smallest link, the consumer, the human being, and the municipality, the province, the national government and large companies like the Schiphol Group are closely scrutinized. The opportunities and the gaps in developing business parks in the Netherlands in general, and that of this business park in particular, are discussed. Concluding that architecture and entrepreneurship in no way have to rule out one another, this book contributes largely to the discussion on business park policy in the Netherlands.

Local politicians asked Dutch artist Marjolijn Boterenbrood to go to Haarlem Oost,  for a long time a neglected industrial area of the City of Haarlem, on the east of the river 't Spaarne. The message was to to reveal and cartograph the unknown and under valued realities of daily life and work on the spot. Boterenbrood asked other artists and architects as well to participate in this very original city project (website-exhibition-atlas) which in the end provided new knowledge en information about this area which could inspire future planning activities.
