Michiel Riedijk Interview_Neutelings & Riedijk_Part 1Interview with Dutch architect Michiel Riedijk [1964 -], principal in the Rotterdam-based office Neutelings & Riedijk Architects with Willem Jan Neutelings [1959 -].

In this first chapter, Michiel speaks about the background of his practice, which is closely related with practical approach of TU-Delft –Michiel and Willem studied there- avoiding any kind of explicit relation with OMA and its rhetoric. It seems that, nowadays, nobody wants to be related with chaos and speculation patented by Koolhaas besides this kind of architects.

Michiel also develops the three polarities that determine architect’s craft in their discourse and oeuvre: knowledge, skills and evocation. To be precise, he explains how these concepts were applied in his project for the Netherlands Institute of Sound and Vision in Hilversum.

All material is produced by 0300TV.
