Wim J. van Heuvel discusses the development of the movement from the 1960s onwards and documents more than thirty projects. Among the architects and projects examined are Aldo van Eyck's Amsterdam Orphanage, Herman Hertzberger's Centraal Beheer office complex, Piet Blom's Kasbah and Frank van Klingeren's 't Karregat. The book also follows the later development of structuralist ideas in the work of architects including Aldo van Eyck and Herman Hertzberger. With its combination of historical analysis, project documentation, photographs and architectural plans, it is an important reference work for the study of post-war Dutch architecture.
