SUPER MODERNISM: THE CONCEPT IN DUTCH ARCHITECTURE
The Dutch architecture of the 1990s has been nicknamed "Super Dutch" or super modern. It was a decade during which positive economic and political conditions created a receptive climate for unorthodox design approaches and experiments, which became the subject of a modern form of cultural export. This super modern architecture may well be changing in the Dutch context, but there is still much interest abroad in this architecture and the thinking behind it.
The term Super modernism originates from a book by the anthropologist Marc Augé titled Non-lieux; introduction à une anthropologie de la surmodernité (Paris 1992). He argues that habitable space increasingly lacks meaning because people do not feel any connection with it. Non-places are typically locations dominated by traffic or by passage, which lack any historical connections let alone a symbolic value. "If a place can be defined as relational, historical and concerned with identity, then a space which cannot be defined as relational, or historical, or concerned with identity will be a nonplace"
 
UNMODERN ARCHITECTURE IN THE NETHERLANDS
Present-day Dutch architecture is marked by considerable diversity. The "unmodern" exists alongside the hypermodern, and cosy retro-architecture alongside less easily recognizable modernist designs. Unmodern architecture has been labeled as such rather than as antimodern because the traditionalists who build it also resort to the vocabulary of modernism. Today's traditionalists do not seek novelty but continuity with what already exists. In doing so they take as their starting point the craftsmanship and skills of the architecture and urban planning of the past. Architectural history and vernacular building traditions both play an important part in this. The unmodern movement is something of a phenomenon in the Netherlands, as it is internationally (New Urbanism). Its roots lie in the postmodern ideas of the seventies and eighties, as well as in much older traditionalist undercurrents. Unmodern architecture is also an intellectual reaction against the modernism of the last fifty years with its associated limitations.
