- What Isn’t ThereNeutelings Riedijk Architects and the Tradition of the Public Interior
- Abstract
- The public interiors of Neutelings Riedijk Architects break with the austere and efficient tradition of Dutch civil culture. The oeuvre is characterized by big gestures and theatrical spaces that derive their legitimacy from design rules that the designers develop in dialogue with the context, the programme and the social and cultural force field. To provide insight into Neutelings Riedijk’s attitude, Eireen Schreurs reads their oeuvre on the basis of the primary experiences formulated by architect Porphyrios as an anchoring of architecture. The author interprets the interiors of Neutelings Riedijk Architects as an oeuvre that deals with these classical foundations in a double-hearted manner: their buildings enclose but also do not, acknowledge gravity but do not dissolve it, and delineate, but with resistance. They formulate a ‘mimesis of the outside’; a hybrid form of space in which inside and outside coexist.
