‘Een vereniging van tuinkunstenaars’ (An association of garden artists)

The long awaited book by publishing house Blauwdruk, created on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Dutch Society for Garden and Landscape Architecture. Not only does the book reflect on the founding of the BNT, its founders and their motivations, it also draws connections with the current state of the field. The objectives of the association in 1922 are still remarkably relevant for NVTL today. The book includes texts by Erik de Jong, Ben Kuipers and Young NVTL, photo essays by Jeroen Bosch and portraits of (board) members of the first hour and a selection of their projects:
