Product Description

Product Description

Aldo van Eyck, the "Grand Seigneur" of Dutch architecture is one of the most significant architects of the 20th century. He exerted a strong influence on his contemporaries during the fifties and sixties, and this can be seen in many of their buildings, both in the Netherlands and worldwide. It was not merely his way of looking at buildings which was influential but also his perception of architecture; his visual thinking, his way of perceiving and structuring time and space, events and social coexistence. The architectonic treatises hew wrote are still relevant and useful in the 1990s. This publication was produced on the occasion of Aldo van Eyck's 80th birthday in 1998. The architect opened his archive and provided unpublished original texts, plans and photographs. All buildings from 1944 to 1998 are documented in depth.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent monograph on an excellent architect. A must-hav, 11 Dec 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Aldo Van Eyck, Works (Hardcover)
A great book, really a must-have for anyone not only interested in van Eyck's work but in architecture in general. Has lots and excellent graphical documentations (readable and large drawings along with good photographs and sketches by van Eyck) and explanitanions of each of his buildings and proyects by the dutch master himself. Published with the architect's collaboration this book offers a detailed whole view of his proyects and also his ideas and poetics ( the dialetics of the "twin phenomena", relativity, etc); completed by texts van eyck wrote for the Forum magazine and the CIAMs. I strongly recommend this book, which I believe with Strauven's Shape of Relativity to be the only monographs on the architect, both excellent books being this one more practical than Strauven's.
