"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..." --Front jacket flap Contents: Viii Foreword The Mechanism of the Twentieth Century and the Architecture of Aldo van Eyck, by Herman Hertzberger -- Xii Acknowledgements -- Xiv Introduction Space in the image of man is place, and time in the image of man is occasion -- Chapter 1 The Vernacular of the Heart 4 -- Chapter 2 The Constant and Constantly Changing 24 -- Chapter 3 The Aesthetic of Number 52 -- Chapter 4 A House Is Like a Small City 74 -- Chapter 5 The Shape of the In-Between 114 -- Chapter 6 Labyrinthian Clarity 152 -- Chapter 7 Architecture as Built Homecoming 192 -- Conclusion If society has no form, how can architects build the counterform? 228 -- Notes 235 -- Selected Bibliography 241 -- Index 243 -- Illustration Credits 247 -- Robert McCarter.
