Description
Aldo van Eyck: A Comprehensive Study of the Architect's Life and Work. This book provides a comprehensive look at the life and work of Aldo van Eyck, one of the 20th century's most influential architects. Van Eyck was a Dutch architect, writer, and teacher who helped redefine Modern architecture in the second half of the 20th century. His designs prioritised place and the daily rituals in the lives of its inhabitants over universal ideals. The book features 300 illustrations from the Aldo van Eyck archive, showcasing his buildings and unrealized projects, including the Amsterdam Orphanage and playgrounds designed for hundreds of children. Robert McCarter's study also explores van Eyck's writings and lectures on the importance of architecture in everyday life and its ethical interpretation. Through a detailed examination of van Eyck's design work and principles, this book illuminates his unique approach to architecture and its place in the world.
