Summary:
The architects of the Rotterdam architecture practice Biq Stadsontwerp realize that the human habitat is no pristine idyll. Hans van der Heijden and Rick Wessels consider the habitat to be the architect's field of work and the gauge of the design. The design's effectiveness is the product of traditions and societal conventions, of the dreams, desires, and fictions of its inhabitants, but also of the possibilities and limitations of the construction industry. biq stadsontwerp links architectonic forms to the negotiations inherent in working in the modern city. Habitat examines this realism through five of the practice's designs.
