He sheds light on the discovery of space by way of his personal experiences from his own practice, the Amsterdam-based office M3H, from his role as an educator, and from his impressions gained from travelling, reading, and contemplating. The stories connect doing, seeing, and learning. In his mind, 'creation' can be divided into seven skills that together drive the design and creation process: looking, playing, creating, moving, imagining, constructing, and unravelling.

This catalogue explores how the design principles of Palladio have been interpreted, copied and re-imagined across time and continents in very different ways since his death, and how they continue to inspire architects today. It includes previously unexplored works that put Palladio in a new social context and brings out unexpected stories about the impact of his legacy on functionality and style. It also questions how a style and an approach to architecture that Palladio intended to be democratic is now associated with wealth.

A series of photographed spaces open up a dialogue and hint at intimate stories. Walls appear roughly textured, seeming to address the tactile rather than visual sense. The pictured spaces look like unfinished buildings or abandoned ruins, either still under construction or already in decline. Kluiters instils these images with a temporal sense, leaving an unanswered promise of eventual fulfilment or a lingering memory of an irrevocable epoch. We must wonder, is this a possible dystopian future or the remnants of a utopian past?
