Kees Christiaanse is one of the leading international town planners. Unlike other large architectural firms, KCAP specializes in the conception and realization of unusual projects at the shared frontiers of architecture, town planning, and landscape architecture. That interplay is the focus of this book, which illustrates it in striking detail with the help of 35 thematically organized projects. The chapters are organized around the planning emphases of the firm: the regeneration of waterfront areas and derelict industrial land, the restructuration of urban centers, and suburban settlements in cultivated areas. Additional technical articles describe the planning instruments used by the firm and how it develops town-planning strategies and solutions.
