很荣幸受《世界建筑》之邀，为当下荷兰建筑的状况作此篇概览。但是这次我们将避免强调荷兰建筑舞台上早已蜚声于世的诸位明星建筑师，即：暂且不提雷姆·库哈斯、维尼·马斯、本·范·伯克尔和法兰馨·侯班。在舞台大幕背后，究竟正发生着什么？与众不同的作品又在何处？

为尽可能提供恰当公正的评论，我们借此机会将诸多独立作者齐聚一堂。评论家、建筑文化的提倡者吕德·布劳韦斯，发起并在过去40年中主编了《荷兰建筑年鉴》。柯尔斯顿·汉尼玛，建筑评论家及荷兰报刊《人民报》的撰稿人，她为最近一期《荷兰建筑年鉴》撰文剖析了2008年全球经济危机以来的荷兰建筑状况。中国建筑师张洋，在贝尔拉格学院接受了建筑教育并受聘于KAAN建筑事务所，就此投身荷兰建筑事业——她提供了一种具有批判性的导引。我本人则受到自身两重身份角色的影响：日常作为一名建筑师进行建筑实践，同时又作为理论教师在学院中任职——在代尔夫特理工大学建筑学院中领导城市综合体方向的研究。

这里必须申明，我们所作的筛选难以俱全。被提及与展示的这些建筑师个体或建筑公司以外，值得留意品鉴的建筑作品仍不胜枚举。此次综评聚焦于趋势的呈现，并不能等同于当下荷兰建筑的全面总结。□

We are honoured that the editors of WA have invited us to write an overview of the state of current Dutch architecture. This time, though, there was to be no emphasis on the already well-known starchitects on the scene: no Rem Koolhaas, Winy Maas, Ben van Berkel and Francine Houben. What's happening behind the big screen? Where are the different projects?

In order to produce an even-handed review we took the opportunity to assemble a group of independent writers. Ruud Brouwers, a critic and an advocate of the culture of architecture, initiator of the Architecture inthe Netherlands Yearbook, covering the past 40 years. Kirsten Hannema, is also an architecture critic and a writer for newspaperDe Volkskrantand the contributor to the latestYearbook, analysing the period after the 2008 global financial crash. ZHANG Yang as a Chinese architect, educated at the Berlage Institute,and embraced byKAAN Architecten, totally dedicated to the architecture in the Netherlands – provided a critical guidance. My contribution is influenced by my two roles: a practitioner working as an architect on a daily basis and a teacher of theory in an academic setting at the Delft University of Technology's Faculty of Architecture, as the Chair of Complex Projects.

It must be said that the selections are made arbitrarily. Apart from those architects and firms mentioned and illustrated, there are many more whose works are worth seeing. This review is about presenting the trends, and is not a complete overview of current architecture in the Netherlands.□
