In this book architectural historian Wouter Vanstiphout describes Carel Weeber’s work and life, from his upbringing on Curaçao to his career as the Netherlands’ most controversial architect, including his surprisingly productive years as ‘ex-architect’. Vanstiphout offers an original analysis of Weeber’s ideas and designs, showing how personal his seemingly impersonal, ‘objective’ architecture and urbanism always have been. This book will be available for purchase starting June 28th.
In dit boek behandelt architectuurhistoricus Wouter Vanstiphout werk en leven van Carel Weeber, van zijn jeugd op Curaçao tot zijn loopbaan als Nederlands meest controversiële architect, inclusief zijn verrassend productieve bestaan als ‘ex-architect’. Vanstiphout analyseert op originele wijze de ideeën en ontwerpen van Weeber en maakt overtuigend duidelijk hoe persoonlijk zijn ogenschijnlijk onpersoonlijke, ‘objectieve’ architectuur en stedenbouw altijd zijn geweest.
