Clear geometric forms become sculptural buildings when given a thin skin of decorative patterns by Neutelings Riedijk Architecten. Buildings like the Y Towers (Sporenburg, Amsterdam), the printworks for Veenman Drukkers (Ede) and the Minnaert Building (Utrecht) are icons whose facades give surprising views through to the interior. Inside, the space is captured and used as a formgiving element to tantalize the senses. Those senses are also in for a treat with this lavishly illustrated book charting the firm's history during the past decade. The reader is taken through the many layers in the work of Neutelings Riedijk Architecten, past competition entries and by way of realized to unrealized projects. The book also deals with work to be built in the near future, including the Museum on the River in Antwerp with its public panoramic escalator route rising spectacularly to the top of the building. Arranged into themes, the book presents texts on skin and patterns, hollows and patios, model studies of the sculptures and silhouettes, cartoons, photos and plans in this enlightening overview of the past ten years of Neutelings Riedijk Architecten
