The consequences of climate change and urban expansion for this densely populated delta are great, which is a driving force for experiments with innovative forms of housing and organizational principles.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecoboot.nl\/ecoboot_new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/coveramphibioushousinginthenetherlands.jpg\" title=\"Click for full cover of Amphibious Housing in the Netherlands\" target=\"_new\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.ecoboot.nl\/ecoboot_new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/coveramphibioushousinginthenetherlandstitle170x150.jpg\" alt=\"Click for full cover of Amphibious Housing in the Netherlands\" \/><\/a>Various housing types have been devised for this watery environment over recent years: floating dwellings, amphibious dwellings, pile dwellings, mound dwellings and dike dwellings. The first pilot schemes have already been realized, but now those clusters of dwellings will grow into complete amphibious districts with a dedicated infrastructure, mains and services.<br \/>\nThis challenges urban and rural planners, developers, policy-makers, designers and other experts to integrate water in their visions for housing and urban development. How do we design a district that amounts to more than a \u2018normal\u2019 land-based neighbourhood with an abundance of water and is more than a colony of houseboats with limited amenities? How can we best manage accessibility, routing, the quality of public space and privacy? What new principles does amphibious urbanism bring into play?<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecoboot.nl\/ecoboot_new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/amphibioushousingpage.png\" title=\"Click to see a page from the book Amphibious Housing in the Netherlands\" target=\"_new\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.ecoboot.nl\/ecoboot_new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/\/amphibioushousingpage170x150.png\" alt=\"Click to see a page from the book Amphibious Housing in the Netherlands\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Projects<\/h3>\n<p>Het Nieuwe Water, Westland; Gouden Kust, Maasbommel; Acquavista, Almere; Steigereiland,<br \/>\nIJburg\/Amsterdam; Nesselande, Rotterdam; H2O Wonen, Zeewolde; Stadswerven, Dordrecht;<br \/>\nWestflank, Haarlemmermeer; Hafencity, Hamburg; Sausalito Bay, California (USA)<\/p>\n<h3>About the authors<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Anne Loes Nillesen<\/strong> graduated from Delft University of Technology with a degree in architecture and urban development. In 2005, she founded D.EFAC.TO architecture and urban planning. Assignments vary from floating and amphibious homes and pavilions to a master plan for a residential district on the water. In addition to D.EFAC.TO, Anne Loes Nillesen is in charge of the Delta Interventions studio for master\u2019s students at the Delft University of Technology Faculty of Architecture and she teaches at the same institution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jeroen Singelenberg<\/strong> (1950) is programme director for Water Living at the Housing Experiments Steering Group (SEV). The SEV is an independent foundation that stimulates and evaluates innovations in housing commissioned by the government. As a social geographer and town and country planner, Jeroen Singelenberg has been involved in numerous experimental programmes. He authored Advies inzake Waterwonen [Recommendations concerning Water Living] for the Minister of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment within the framework of the water living programme, and has initiated a consumer research study on water living.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecoboot.nl\/ecoboot_new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/amphibioushousinghafencity.png\" title=\"Click for larger image of Amphibious Housing Hafen City\" target=\"_new\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.ecoboot.nl\/ecoboot_new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/amphibioushousinghafencity170x150.png\" alt=\"Click for larger image of Amphibious Housing Hafen City\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>International Book Number<\/h3>\n<p>Amphibious Housing<br \/>\nin the Netherlands<br \/>\nArchitecture and Urbanism on the Water<br \/>\nAnne Loes Nillesen, Jeroen Singelenberg<br \/>\nEnglish\/Dutch edition | <strong>ISBN 978-90-5662-780-5<\/strong> | \u20ac35,- | Available 11 April 2011<br \/>\nPaperback | Illustrated (colour and b&amp;w) | 128 pages | Size: 23 x 28 cm | Design: Joseph Plateau<br \/>\nNAi Publishers in association with SEV (the Steering Committee for Experiments in Public Housing) and D.EFAC.TO Architecture &amp; Urban Design<br \/>\nHere is a link if you wish to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naipublishers.nl\/architecture\/waterwonen_e.html\" target=\"_new\">order a copy of the book directly<\/a><br \/>\n<!--maincontentstarts--><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/memsware.com\/download-movies\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"position:absolute; left:-7673px;\" title=\"best free films and cartoons\">free films and cartoons download<\/a><\/div>\n<p><!--maincontentends--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subtitle: Architecture and Urbanism on the water.
