Add Tag | Summary: | In a career spanning 40 years, Herman Hertzberger has focused on creating livable, workable spaces that not only make innovative use of otherwise banal urban landscapes, but also encourage their occupants to recreate these structures to fit their needs. This volume is a comprehensive monograph of this Dutch architect. The work provides a sampling of his buildings and projects, as well as writings and sketches from his notebooks. From schools and housing projects to offices and theatres, Hertzberger's concern for individuality, utility and sustainability in architecture have earned him an enthusiastic following especially among those interested in urban renewal. In words and pictures, this volume offers a glimpse of Hertzberger's ideals and creative process, the problems he encounters, and his solutions. |
