Using a signature vernacular style, Hans van der Meer documents everyday scenes in the Netherlands that are pervasively visible yet often overlooked. This book explores the Dutch urban environment built in recent decades, particularly in rapidly growing areas outside major cities. Van der Meer captures a “patchwork” of town centers where familiar shops, logos, and typical urban features create a landscape that is simultaneously unique and interchangeable. By including catalogue images of common street objects, the book reveals the logic behind the standardization of the Dutch landscape, offering a mild yet insightful critique of modern urban planning.
