Neutelings Riedijk Architects is an architecture firm based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, founded by Willem Jan Neutelings and Michiel Riedijk in 1987.
Work and design philosophy
edit
The work of Neutelings Riedijk Architects has been characterized as having a sculptural, often anthropomorphic quality and a playfulness of form while following a clear rationality in programming and context.[1] Their use of familiar forms and materials grounds the strangeness and baroque involutions that give the works a distinct identity and power.[2] Because of the public nature of most of their work, Neutelings Riedijk see the sculptural quality as a way to communicate the building's role within its urban or social context.[3]
Neutelings Riedijk Architects' earlier work consists mostly of public housing and utilitarian buildings such as office buildings, fire stations, and hotels. They have since moved on to designing complex assignments for public and cultural institutions such as museums, libraries, performing arts venues, concert halls, and educational facilities.[4] Their most acclaimed buildings are the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden (2019), City Hall Deventer (2016), Museum aan de Stroom in Antwerp (2010), the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision in Hilversum (2006), the Shipping and Transport College Group in Rotterdam (2005), and the culture house Rozet in Arnhem (2013) and Culture House Eemhuis in Amersfoort (2013).
