Farmax

by Winy Mass, MVRDV

The Netherlands is reputed to have the highest average population density in the world though it is increasingly becoming distributed in low density suburban areas threatening to transform the country into a sort of city state. The architects' bureau MVRDV and students at Delft University have sought to remedy this situation by proposing areas of ultra-density inserted into pastoral landscapes. This book sets out to discover the prospects and limitations, the world of the extreme Floor Area Ratio, or FARMAX.
