I visit the Netherland almost every
year, and have become intensely interested in dutch urban and regional planning practices,
approaches to sustainable development and architecture. I have hosted dutch planners
here in the US, and I have conducted a tour of the Netherlands for american planners
(working on tour 2). I am interested in the works of HP Berlage,the archtiects of
the Amsterdam School, and the contemporary, designers, and town planners architects
of the Netherlands. My knowledge is fair, but I tend to "freeze" when I
confront a Dutch speaker, unil I know that person will let me speak some Dutch.I heb Nederlands vrij wel gelernd. Nu ik kan de menukaarten, soms boeken en tijdchriften, en borden op straaten om te lezen.
