A comprehensive look at the life and work of one of the 20th
century's most influential architects Aldo van Eyck (1918-1999) was
a Dutch architect, writer, and teacher who helped redefine Modern
architecture in the second half of the 20th century. As an advocate
for architecture's engagement with history, culture, climate, and
the lived human experience of buildings and urban spaces, he
created designs that privileged place and the daily rituals in the
lives of its inhabitants over universal ideals. In this volume,
enlivened by 300 illustrations from the Aldo van Eyck archive,
Robert McCarter provides the first comprehensive study of van
Eyck's 50-year career since his death, guiding readers through the
architect's buildings and unrealized projects, with a focus on the
interior spatial experience and on the design and construction
processes. Highlighted projects include the Amsterdam Orphanage,
the Roman Catholic Church in The Hague, and some of the hundreds of
playgrounds he famously designed over the course of his career.
McCarter also investigates how van Eyck's writings and lectures
convey the importance of architecture in the everyday lives of
people around the world and throughout history. By presenting his
design work together with the principles on which it was founded,
McCarter illuminates van Eyck's ethical interpretation of
architecture's place in the world.
