Herman Hertzberger

Gives a broad insight into Hertzberger's "library" and a stimulating impression of one of the most important Dutch architects alive today. Rather than supplying the reader with design recipes, Hertzberger has provided an essential source of inspiration to everyone involved with the design process.

Future of Architecture

"As work on the book proceeded, its format grew almost unobserved in the direction of two preceding books, Lessons for students in architecture 1 (Making space, leaving space) and Space and the architect (Lessons in architecture 2). So Space and learning became part three of the series"--P. 5.

Space and learning

A. de Swaan

Schools crops up often in Hertzberger's prodigious oeuvre. They are his favourite buildings, he says. Hertzberger designs schools that are to function like cities. Schools and cities, he contends, can be read in many ways and are challenging, inspirational and inviting. School is where you can withdraw and adopt a position with respect to others, where you learn to take a place in society. Besides a presentation of Hertzberger's thirty-plus built schools and a number of unbuilt ones, the sociologist Abram de Swaan addresses Hertzberger's work in an essay. Aided by examples, he examines how school architecture and the way school buildings are organized impacts the social development of children. De Swaan pays tribute to Hertzberger as a pre-eminently 'sociological' architect.

This book complements 'Lessons for Students in Architecture' published in 1991. It charts the background to Hertzberger's work of the last ten years and the ideas informing it, drawing on a wide spectrum of subjects and designs by artists, precursors, past masters and colleagues.

Space and the Architect

Architect and architectural author Herman Hertzberger (1932) is internationally recognized for both his built work and his written work. Buildings such as Centraal Beheer in Apeldoorn (1972) and many of Apeldoorn's schools, but also his publications, such as Lessons for Students in Architecture (which has been translated into many languages) have inspired generations of architects and students. In this book, Hertzberger lays down the foundations of his architectural vision. 'This book is an attempt to formulate what structuralism means in architecture, and why that matters. There are many misunderstandings about the concept of structuralism in general, and especially where architecture is concerned. There is also a renewed interest in structuralism. What I see as the real structuralism in architecture is a way of thinking that has far-reaching opportunities for the reuse of buildings, which can give a new impulse to the discussion about sustainability. In addition, the possibility of users having a greater influence has revealed the blueprint for a more democratic architecture. - Herman Hertzberger, Exhibition: The New Institute, Rotterdam, The Netherlands (20.09.2014-January 2015).--Provided by publisher.

The Ordering of Space

Architecture and Structuralism

The municipality of Apeldoorn wanted to house a couple of cultural institutions which were formerly spread around the city: the Van Reekummuseum, with a collection of modern graphics, the Historic museum, the city archives, and an extension of the adjacent city library. Hertzberger created a new space in which people come together to look at art, go to the theatre, engage in conversation, or simply hang around by the railing. Just like he did for his extension of the Schouwburg, Hertzberger uses an austere box made out of glass as a base.
