The book ‘ORNAMENT AND IDENTITY’ is the successor of the well-received ‘AT WORK’, a publication by renowned Rotterdam based architecture firm Neutelings Riedijk Architects. In their new publication they convincingly demonstrate that buildings with a powerful expression create new local identities in a globalised world.
In twelve themed chapters Moiré, Image, Seam, Emblem, Letter, Pattern, Cut out, Ridge, Grid, Lozenge, Relief and Filigree, readers are guided on the exploration of the connection between form, meaning and contemporary ornaments.
Images of realised buildings, intriguing scale models, material samples, and unique ornaments designed by Neutelings Riedijk Architects illustrate the craftsmanship and their search for expression and identity.
