Résumé:
Clear geometric forms become sculptural buildings when given a thin skin of decorative patterns by Neutelings Riedijk architects. Their buildings are icons whose facades give surprising views inwards. Inside, the space is captured as a formgiving element tantalizing the senses. In this book the reader is taken through the many layers in their work, past competition entries and by way of realized to unrealized projects. Arranged into themes, the book presents texts on skin and patterns, hollows and patios, model studies of the sculptures and silhouettes, cartoons, photos and plans in this overview of the past ten years.
