"Good to see there's been made an exception for esthetic reasons.. kinda odd innit?"
Not for the Netherlands I don't think that is odd. You all seem to have that concern up front, no? They value the arts their more I always thought.

don't make me start! hehe
no really.. it's been on my mind the last few days. why it is that people think our 'design' is so great and all. since i saw this book: http://www.phaidon.com/phaidon/2… .. which made me think, is this true? why do people think that? i mean, it's also been said about our urban planning, but then Koolhaas keeps bragging about how messy it is and all..and my personal thought (which i share with many!) is that there's a LOT of h-o-r-r-i-b-l-e tasteless architecture here ... it's all relative anyway..
i could be talking for hours on this subject though.. :/
maybe i'll start a thread on it soon.. it deserves a solid debate, me thinks.
