Wiel Arets - Bas Princen

This book encapsulates a journey throughout the life of 12 buildings, from construction to inhabitation, by architect Wiel Arets, as experienced by artist Bas Princen. Wiel Arets was born on 6 May 1955 in Heerlen, Netherlands. He divides his time between Chicago, Maastricht, Berlin, Amsterdam and Zürich, living and working in each city. Arets' work is generally characterized by a minimalist, geometric and austere approach that responds to local contingencies in a flexible way.
