Product Description

Publisher: nai010 Publishers, ISBN: 9789462080447, Author: Michiel van Raaij, Format: Softcover, 120 x 200 mm, 160pp

The ornament is back in architecture, but now on the scale of the building as a whole. One letter out of the alphabet, a pile of pebbles or a national emblem – the diversity of forms the new architecture can take seems infinite.

In this book, Michiel van Raaij, editor-in-chief of Architectenweb, investigates in ten interviews how this new architecture emerged in the late 1990s and how it developed at the start of the twenty-first century.

Includes interviews with Auke van der Woud, Denise Scott Brown, Charles Jencks, Adriaan Geuze, Michiel Riedijk, Alejandro Zaero-Polo, Ben van Berkel, Steven Holl, Winy Maas and Bjarke Ingels.
