Gerrit Rietveld (1888-1964) was one of the most famous architects and designers of the twentieth century. Nearly everyone knows his red-blue chair and the Rietveld Schröder House, but not many people are aware of the full extent of his work. Renowned authors from the Netherlands and abroad describe Rietveld's world, the technology of his time and the interaction between his work and that of contemporaries such as Piet Mondriaan, Theo Van Doesburg, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier. Due attention is also paid to the relevance of Rietveld's work today. The sum total is a new picture of Rietveld's unique contribution to 20th-century architecture and design.

"Gerrit Rietveld (1888-1964) is perhaps Holland's best-known architect. His Schröder House in Utrecht from 1924 has achieved iconic status. In fact, Rietveld built around 100 houses, and of these very little is known. Photographer Arjan Bronkhorst (b. 1972), who established his credentials in 2013 with the bestseller Grachtenhuizen/Amsterdam Canal Houses, went in search of these unknown Rietveld houses. He photographed their interiors and residents, travelling as far as the United States. Light and space are what characterise Rietveld's houses. Sobriety is a basic principle in his designs. Only appreciated by a small group of intellectual clients who commissioned Rietveld to design an avant-garde house. Authors Willemijn Zwikstra and Marc van den Eerenbeemt explored the archives and interviewed current residents about living in a Rietveld house. As Rietveld expert Ida van Zijl notes in her introduction: it is high time for a new publication: a book that puts the resident first, just as Rietveld thought a house as a setting for life."--Page 4 de la couverture.

Last Year at Betty and Bob's: A Novelty is the first in a series of novellas emerging from a writing practice that taps the cusp of consciousness between dreaming and waking. A storyline, or genealogy, tinted a shade of RGB blue, is fashioned by thinking through the felt unthought of this between space. A fabulation, an anarchive of what passes through. Lucid dreaming of this type is rife with allusions to conceptual and material goings-on, manifesting in awkward imaginaries. The dream personas are rendered as complex character amalgams with nomadic ages, sexes, genders and phenotypes. Occurrences of lived "fact" elide with a hallucinatory real as speculation. In A Novelty, Bette B, an ageing quasi-academic artist researcher, and BØB, attuned urban rodent, are palindromic variants of a generic cast of Betty's and Bob's. The happenstance of their meeting on the super slick POMOC (PostOffice MotionCorridor) affects a trans-special contagion. These are the facts of the matter. The matters that come to concern both B's are more slippery and elusive
