Summary:
Internationally acclaimed Dutch architect Herman Hertzberger (born 1932), an early proponent and practitioner of the so-called school of "structuralism" (sustainable buildings that can evolve to meet their users' changing needs), invited colleagues and students to reflect on the future of architecture.
