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. This book takes the reader through the many layers in their work, past competition entries and from realized to unrealized projects. In this enlightening overview of the past ten years, model studies, cartoons, photos and plans serve to illustrate sixteen themes that vary between sculpture and pattern, cavity and stacking, arrangement and silhouette, weight and texture.
