The Wonderful World of VenhoevenCS Architects

Ton Venhoeven, et al.

This is the first monograph of the Amsterdam architecture firm VenhoevenCS, an ambitious and innovative office for architecture and urbanism. Their remarkable designs propose different ways in which people, animals and things can live together within a limited space. VenhoevenCS has a desire to create sustainable solutions, not only in a ecological sense, but also in the sense that buildings are not emotionally disposable, and therefore have longevity. In the world of this cutting-edge firm, a building can look like a village, hangar, animal, machine, spaceship or cave; it can have a patterned or textured skin; contain homelike or adventurous spaces. Any reader interested in the future of architecture will find this book essential.
