    by 采和建築師, 鄭采和 ...
    一位臺灣青年建築師在荷蘭的十年觀察筆記——透過阿姆斯特丹深層認識荷蘭，跟著采和建築師直擊荷蘭人的居住正義與街區實驗，「住房不是一種財產權的絕對保障，而是對人應有居住權的絕對保障。」原來「都更」也不只是蓋新房子，唯有自己認知自己想過什麼樣的生活，才知道住宅可以怎樣設計或是改造，而不是只是被動地接受市場上提供的「房地產」。本書以迷人的故事力、專業的視角讓我們大開眼界。城市的偉大，來自於居住其間人民的偉大。阿姆斯特丹從十三世紀的小漁村，歷經八百年的歷史發展，成就現今的國際空港城市，其間，充滿了各種故事。而共同完成這部偉大故事，靠的是眾志成城，透過政府、建築師、社區規劃師，尤其是各類各階層人民的凝聚力，讓文化性跟衝突性對話，讓城市的宏偉與家的溫度並存，讓理性主義與人文感性交融，讓社會秩序與個體自由同在，讓異文化和本土文化相互包容，更讓多元族群共生及共榮。采和建築師寫下她在阿姆斯特丹十多年的生活 ...
