Wiel Arets - Works and Projects (Ciltli)

One of Holland's leading architects, Wiel Arets has won an international following for his spare industrial forms and his theoretical writings. He often works with translucent glass, concrete, and wood, integrating his interest in transparency with compositional strategies and reducing essential space to a bare minimum. This book surveys the Dutch architect's work through 31 of his most significant buildings and projects since the late 1980s, including the Academy for Arts and Architecture in Maastricht, the AZL Pension Fund in Heerlen, high-rise apartment blocks in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, and police stations in Vaals, Boxtel, and Cuijk.
