From the first of December my publication GAME URBANISM will be available. The book contains texts by Charles Landry, Francien van Westrenen and myself and shows a (selection) of Bureau Venhuizen projects. But most of all GAME URBANISM shows my view on a cultural approach of spatial planning.

Amphibious Living as pdf
Several times a year, the question is asked if the expenditure of Amphibious Living is still available and whether it can be ordered. This publication is soon after it was released in 2000, sold out and there remains only a single copy in the library of the NAi and a copy in the library of Hans Venhuizen. This item has becomes a Collecters! Since the subject is still topical and there is still demand for this publication, it has been decided to offer the book in PDF format on the site to anyone who is interested.
Because the total book in pdf-format contains a too large file, the book is filled into 15 smaller sections of 4 to 7 MB storage and is now availeble for everyone to download without the computer crashes or that hours must be downloaded. The figures for the components correspond to the page numbers listed in the contents. The text is in Dutch and in English.
If there are passages or images from the book used for thesis e.o. please make mention of the the source, author and / or photographer concerned.

Commisioned by the CBK (Centre of Art) Hans Venhuizen developed a vision for The South Entrances in which this part of Rotterdam will be connected by a new Maasplein with the western centre of Rotterdam (see website: The discovery of the Maasplein). This vison is published in an edition of the CBK Rotterdam, where several artits were asked to display their view of the southern entrance.
