Summary:

"The book gives an overview of the architectural detailing of a galaxy of prominent Dutch architectural practices of the moment. Rather than offering standard details, it shows details whose chief significance is contextual. The accompanying text explains how these architects are able to deploy details in such a way as to achieve maximum architectural effect with the result that the details form an important part of the architect's signature."--BOOK JACKET.
