Erick van Egeraat

Discloses the personal attitude of Erick van Egeraat on his work and the increasing complexity of the international profession. This new monograph presents Erick van Egeraat's career, spanning from 1981 to the present day with over 100 realised projects in more than 10 countries. These projects range from buildings for public and commercial use to luxury and social housing projects, projects for mixed use and master plans for cities and even entire regions. Each of these projects represents his very personal and expressive vision on architecture and urban development. Through a rich display of pivotal projects, each highlighting a unique side of Erick van Egeraat's work, the sheer scale and diversity of his built and unbuilt projects are uncovered by expert Philip Jodidio in this densely packed and comprehensive illustrated volume. Key projects are juxtaposed with contributions from journalists and collaborators, who present new perspectives on the contexts and topics surrounding this architect's unique portfolio.AUTHOR: Erick van Egeraat, born in 1956 in Amsterdam, is founding director of the architecture office (designed by) Erick van Egeraat, which has offices in Rotterdam, Moscow, Budapest and Prague.
