This annual gives an overall view of education at the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture. Shedding light on how theory and professional skills are conveyed to others, it also shows how a new generation of architects, urban designers and landscape architects adopts a design stance and relates it to current design briefs. To give form to the study programme, the Academy enlists the aid of top designers and researchers and organizes public exhibitions, talks and discussions. In this year’s annual Rik Herngreen introduces the semester theme, ’Wijken voor Waterland’ (which means both ’districts for Waterland’ and ’giving way to Waterland’), with an essay on the largely free-ranging dynamic in the rural municipality between Amsterdam and Purmerend of that name. Aart Oxenaar presents a summary of his dissertation on P.J.H. Cuypers and the thinking on the city and Paul Shepheard, this year’s artist in residence, gives instructions on ’How to like everything’. Other contributors to the annual include Pieter Jannink, Olv Klijn and Robert Broesi.
