More about the book
The architecture of Bolles + Wilson exists at the intersection of German and English architectural cultures. Their attention to the quality of design filters down to even the smallest detail and there is a refreshing command of architectural fantasy that echoes the architects' early years in the London AA School of Architecture. The buildings of Bolles + Wilson leave clear markers in the diffused urban agglomerations. Peter Wilson states, "we attempt to take up one of the principle responsibilities of to focus, to anchor, to give measure." The present monograph shows recent buildings and projects from the period 1993 to 1997 in Münster, Castrop-Rauxel, Hengeloo and Rotterdam, where their New Luxor Theatre is a high point in the urban development program for this harbor-city. For this project Bolles + Wilson won the competition in 1996 ahead of the second-place design by Rem Koolhaas.
