About this title

Synopsis

The innovative architecture office Van Berkel & Bos presents a major new collection of its projects, statements, research, and visual inspiration. 'Move' redefines typologies of organisational structures on all levels and presents a manifesto against Modernism that is still based on techniques of fragmentation and collage. The three volumes are presented in a box that adds to the high quality of this encyclopaedia of architectural ideas. Each book combines spectacular architectural presentations and texts into a specific theme: 'Imagination', 'Techniques','Effects'

About the Author

Ben van Berkel (Utrecht 1957) studied architecture at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and the Architectural Association in London, receiving the AA Diploma with Honours in 1987. Caroline Bos (Rotterdam 1959) studied History of Art at Birkbeck College, University of London. In 1988 they established Van Berkel & Bos Architectuurbureau in Amsterdam, extending their previous theoretical and writing projects to the practice of architecture.

Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos have lectured and taught at many architectural schools around the world. In recent years their teaching has focused on new planning strategies and organisational structures. Their 1999 Masterclass at the Berlage Institute dealt with the subject of the 6-th Nota; an update of the Dutch national planning instrument that envisions, maps organises and controls urban development. From 1996-1999 Ben van Berkel led Diploma Unit 4, The Urban Studio, at the Architectural Association in London. The Urban Studio focuses on the development and rethinking of new organisational structures in architecture and urbanism. In September 1999 Ben van Berkel will be appointed Professor of Design and Construction at the Technical University of Graz, where he is setting up the first European university department and research centre to exclusively study public constructions in architecture.
