Herman Hertzberger; Series: Studio Paperback

Basel; Boston: Birkhäuser Verlag, 1997. Softcover. VG. White wraps with color illustration. 216 pp. Profuse B/W illustration. In German and English. From the back cover: Herman Hertzberger can be counted among today's most interesting contemporary architects. With his buildings, he endeavors to offer a meaningful framework to the users, which they can then "claim" as their own and finish designing - a polyvalent and permeable form of structuralism with the intention being to stimulate participation. The present Studio Paperback offers a concise and complete presentation of Hertzberger's creative work for the first time. It includes all of his important buildings and projects from his first works in the 1960s to his most recent works, such as the Chasse theater in Breda. An indispensable reference book for all who wish to seriously come to terms with Hertzberger as both a key figure of post-war architecture and as an influential teacher. (Inventory #: 130285)
