Neutelings Riedijk Architects
Ornament and Identity

Translated by Wendy van Os-Thompson. Graphic design by Studio Joost Grootens, Dimitri Jeannottat and Silke Koeck.

This volume demonstrates that buildings with a powerful expression create new local identities in a globalised world. In twelve themed chapters Moiré, Image, Seam, Emblem, Letter, Pattern, Frame, Ridge, Grid, Diamond, Relief and Filigree, readers are guided on the exploration of the connection between form, meaning and contemporary ornaments. Realised buildings, intriguing scale models, material samples and unique ornaments designed by Neutelings Riedijk Architects illustrate the craftsmanship and their search for expression and identity. 351 Seiten mit 260 Farbabb., Großformat, gebunden (Hatje Cantz 2018) leichte Lagerspuren/near mint
