Surprisingly, the common notion of taking a seaside vacation has only existed since the eighteenth century, with a growing acceptance of the idea that fresh air and sea water are good for one's health. Since then, seaside resorts for all budgets have sprung up around the world. In Designing the Seaside, Fred Gray offers a richly illustrated history of seaside architecture and culture, from the smallest beach hut to the grandest hotels. Through over 400 illustrations that include historic photographs, pamphlets, guidebooks, postcards, and posters, Gray explores the changing

"As the 1960s became The Sixties, architect Horace Gifford executed a remarkable series of beach houses that transformed the terrain and culture of New York's Fire Island. Growing up on the beaches of Florida, Gifford forged a deep connection with coastal landscapes. Pairing this sensitivity with jazzy improvisations on modernist themes, he perfected a sustainable modernism in cedar and glass that was as attuned to natural landscapes as to our animal natures. Gifford's serene 1960s pavilions provided refuge from a hostile world, while his exuberant post-Stonewall, pre-AIDS masterpieces orchestrated bacchanals of liberation. Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift once spurned Hollywood limos for the rustic charm of Fire Island's boardwalks. Truman Capote wrote Breakfast at Tiffany's here. Diane von Furstenburg showed off her latest wrap dresses to an audience that included Halston, Giorgio Sant' Angelo, Calvin Klein and Geoffrey Beene. Today, such a roster evokes the aloof, gated compounds of the Hamptons or Malibu. But these celebrities lived in modestly scaled homes alongside middle-class vacationers, all with equal access to Fire Island's natural beauty. Blending cultural and architectural history, Fire Island Modernist ponders a fascinating era through an overlooked architect whose life, work and colorful milieu trace the operatic arc of a lost generation, and still resonate with artistic and historical import."--Publisher description.

Water heeft altijd een bijzondere plaats ingenomen. De toegenomen welvaart en vrije tijd en de schaarse ruimte hebben tot grote veranderingen in de perceptie en omgang met water geleid. Internationaal gezien neemt water een steeds strategischer plaats in. Water vervult onze meest primaire levensbehoefte en is een schaars goed. Watermanagement is een actueel issue geworden, mede onder invloed van klimaatveranderingen en zeespiegelstijgingen. Door water nu de ruimte te geven wordt voorkomen dat water in de toekomst die ruimte zelf zal nemen. Wonen, werken en recreëren met, op en in het water. Nieuwe perspectieven voor nieuw watermanagement en het bewerkstelligen van een bewustwording, c.q. mentaliteitsverandering. In de essays wordt nader ingegaan op de procesgang: techniek, communicatie, economie, beleving en nieuwe bestuurlijke arrangementen. Tussen de essays staan visuele intermezzo's van plannen en gerealiseerde projecten met betrekking tot woningbouw, utiliteitsbouw, stedenbouw, landschapsarchitectuur, ruimtelijke ordening, infrastructuur en vrije tijd. In zeven thematische hoofdstukken worden in woord en beeld allerlei projecten in Nederland die te maken hebben met water, beschreven.
