The Impact of Dutch Art on Its Environment Video (DVD)

The Netherlands are so densely populated, architects and city planners are challenged with creating buildings that are not only beautiful but save space and create a functional infrastructure. This DVD explores the history of art and architecture in The Netherlands, including how aesthetic sensibility and functionality combine to give rise to some of the most unique and breathtaking buildings and art installations in the world. Peer beyond the dykes at reclaimed land, visit churches from baroque to modern, and examine how the importance of the railway system impacts the buildings and art that surround it. This DVD also provides commentary on the influence Dutch architects, both past and present, have on the construction of buildings today.
