Product Description

Book Description

Aldo van Eyck, Doyen of Dutch architecture, is one of the most significant architects of the 20th century. His way of looking at buildings, his visual thinking, his way of perceiving and structuring time and space, events and social coexistence had a strong influence on his contemporaries during the 1950s and 1960s. The book is based on van Eyck's substantial archive of original texts, plans and photographs, documenting all presented buildings in depth. Texts by Vincent Ligtelijn, Joseph Rykwert, Peter Smithson, Hermann Hertzberger, Henk Engel, and Francis Strauven complete the volume.

From the Back Cover

For the present publication the architect opened his substantial archive and provided unpublished original texts, plans and photographs. All main buildings and projects from 1944 to his death in 1999 are documented in depth and an introduction by Vincent Ligtelijn explains clearly and lucidly the ideas and the design principles which underlie the conception of his buildings.

Also is included a preface by Joseph Rykwert and texts by Henk Engel, Herman Hertzberger, Peter Smithson and Francis Strauven which pay tribute to the unique and multifaceted nature of van Eyck and his work.
