Americanism: Dutch Architecture and the Transatlantic ModelDirectly and indirectly, since the Second World War, a large part of the Dutch environment has been influenced by American architecture. This history of transatlantic influences on Dutch architecture, which includes the work of Richard Meier, Steven Holl and Frank Israel, has been written on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the launching of the famous Marshal Plan, which played such a vital role in boosting economic recovery and morale in post-war Europe. |
