About the Design
‘NO GUTS NO GLORY! A Delta Plan for Groningen’ is more than just a book; it is a political statement addressing the plausible issues caused by earthquakes through artistic and creative approaches. The collaboration between students and Studio Renate Boere brings to life the seismic challenges of the region, offering a visionary perspective through 200 pages filled of intriguing illustrations and thought-provoking messages. Each page exemplifies a unified effort, advocating for innovative solutions and underscoring the vital roles of artists, designers, engineers, and architects in shaping a resilient future for Groningen and beyond.
In an effort to spur further action, the book was delivered to the Prime Minister, aiming to influence decision-makers at the highest level. By presenting ministerial leaders with a comprehensive and visually engaging account of the issues and potential solutions, ‘NO GUTS NO GLORY!’ seeks to inspire concrete political action and the development of a Delta Plan for Groningen.
