Het Strijkijzer (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Het Strijkijzer is a residential and office skyscraper in The Hague, Netherlands. It is 132 metres (433 ft) tall with 42 floors and is the second tallest building in the city. In 2007 the building was awarded the Hague New City Prize and the international Emporis Skyscraper Award, with Emporis citing "its elegant reinterpretation of classic high-rise architecture, its contextual approach to a limited site, and its efficient program for accommodating new entrants to the housing market." Inspired by the Flatiron Building in New York City, its name is the Dutch word for the ironing appliance.
