Urban designers and planners often decide differently. But why? In this book, the photographer Jan-Dirk van der Burg addressed the question as to why these paths of civil disobedience still abound in the Netherlands today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe English term ‘desire line’ perhaps expresses it best: it is the route people long for. They are worn monuments of silent revolt, evidence of civil disobedience vis-à-vis the official route. A desire line is created due to mass resistance to the prescribed walking route. It requires a colossal quantity of footsteps in order to so erode the ground that the grass admits defeat. The book ‘Olifantenpaadjes’ (‘olifantenpad’, literally ‘elephants’ path’, is the Dutch term for a desire line) is an optimistic indictment of the innocent abuse of the landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign by Erik Kessels, foreword by Maarten Hart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Robstolk\u003cbr\u003eSoftcover\u003cbr\u003e 23 cm x 20 cm\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 9789081760706\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robstolk","offers":[{"title":"First Edition","offer_id":4178296209439,"sku":"DLOJDVDB01","price":250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Third Edition","offer_id":17883238072410,"sku":"DLOJDVDB02","price":200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/products\/Desire-Lines_Cover.jpg?v=1527550886","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/es\/products\/olifantenpaadjes-desire-lines-jan-dirk-van-der-burg","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
