Aldo van Eyck, Doyen of Dutch architecture, is one of the most significant architects of the 20th century. His way of looking at buildings, his visual thinking, his way of perceiving and structuring time and space, events and social coexistence had a strong influence on his contemporaries during the 1950s and 1960s. The book is based on van Eyck's substantial archive of original texts, plans and photographs, documenting all presented buildings in depth. Texts by Vincent Ligtelijn, Joseph Rykwert, Peter Smithson, Hermann Hertzberger, Henk Engel, and Francis Strauven complete the volume.
