The masterplan
A NovelWhen asked to design the capital of a young African republic, Rodrigo Tomás sees the opportunity of a lifetime. Eager to outshine his famous father he accepts, but he soon discovers that not all is what it seems… Chronicling the trajectory of an architect craving recognition, 'The Masterplan' delivers a fictional reconstruction of an architectural dream blown to dust by bigger forces. A personal story comes to reveal a larger story – of an emerging nation’s struggle with colonial residue, the growing Chinese influence in Africa and the fraught workings of a global real estate market.

Architecture Against Architecture
Architecture, as we know it, is in crisis. The authority of architects is crumbling, their methods no longer tenable. In a highly critical introspection, architect and writer Reinier de Graaf explores the tough choices ahead and the course of action that must follow.Architecture Against Architecture demands we rethink both how and why we build. With wit and insight, De Graaf lays out the future of the profession, challenging readers to question the fundamental assumptions of the discipline. How do we end the feudal veneration of starchitects? When will architects finally recognize that it is in their own best interest to unionize? Why aren’t more practices collectively owned? Why do so many architects over sixty-seven refuse to retire? How do we stop buildings from being copy-righted? What will remain of architecture after AI? What can prevent iconic structures from being embroiled in money laundering? And the vital question: What projects should architects refuse on moral grounds?

Architettare, verbo. La nuova lingua del costruire
Cosa intendono realmente gli architetti quando parlano di 'eccellenza', 'sostenibilità', 'benessere', 'vivibilità', 'creatività', 'bellezza' e 'innovazione'? E cosa ci dice tutto ciò sul futuro delle nostre case e del nostro pianeta? Reinier de Graaf analizza con acutezza e ironia i continui incroci fra architettura, politica, finanza e potere, approfondendo come la loro interazione ha mutato l'aspetto e il destino delle città. Attraverso lo studio di alcune delle più note e importanti opere contemporanee e non, spunto di piacevoli quadri narrativi, Architettare, verbo affronta domande fondamentali: l'architettura è arte o servizio pubblico? Come diversificare committenza e finanziamenti pubblici e privati? Come affrontare il personalismo del sistema dei premi? De Graaf ragiona poi sul valore simbolico del tempo, incrociandolo con il tema della sostenibilità, dagli elementi più generali alle proiezioni dei costi dei lavori che possono durare decenni, in balia di crisi finanziarie e politiche, locali e globali. Perché anche l'architettura è un pezzo della complessità.

The Complex Nature of a Simple ProfessionSomething of a revelation…[De Graaf] has produced an original and even occasionally hilarious book about losing ideals and finding them again…He deftly shows that architecture cannot be better or more pure than the flawed humans who make it.
