Paradise Planned: The Garden Suburb and the Modern City

By Robert A.M. Stern, David Fishman, and Jacob Tilove. Monacelli Press, 2013, 1,072 pages, $95.

Weissman away from Van Baerlestraat to the Museumplein (Museum Plaza). For nine years, the Stedelijk Museum has been Amsterdam's most forlorn and hopeful institution—shuttered, vacant, and in terrible need of an overhaul that was always just about to get started and would surely be finished sometime soon.
