"The new Bijhouwer." Harm Veenenbos, Veenenbos and Bosch Landschapsarchitecten

The form of the famous Dutch landscape is no accidental or random phenomenon. It is the result of a transformational process. Knowledge and understanding of the basic forms are instrumental in the design of the new landscape and presented in this unique publication on the Dutch Lowlands.

The Dutch delta is a reclamation landscape. It has undergone several transformations since the Middle Ages to become an inhabitable, beautiful and unique cultural landscape. Many factors that determine the spatial quality of the future urban landscape are directly connected with the formal properties of the polder landscape of the Dutch lowlands.

Saskia de Wit is a landscape architect and works at the Faculty of Architecture at the Delft University of Technology since 1993. She runs her own design bureau and has several publications to her credit. She participated in several publications on the Dutch landscape.
