Herman Hertzberger is one of the most important Dutch architects. Among his most famous buildings are Vredenburg, Centraal Beheer, the Chassé theatre, the Ministry of Social Affairs and its schools. But not only his work is leading, his vision is also of great importance, especially for this time. He focuses on what people need: in addition to security, also a view, in addition to a place of their own, also the feeling of being part of a larger whole. As an architect, he wants to create the spatial conditions for living together, and his way of looking and thinking is related to sociology, the profession of writer Christien Brinkgreve. In Herman Hertzberger’s Space, Brinkgreve sketches a portrait of Hertzberger, she discusses his vision and work as an architect, his background, the neighborhood in which he grew up, the people who shaped and nurtured him. Herman Hertzberger’s space is an encounter between architecture and sociology, and between people who have known each other for more than half a century and who reconnected ten years ago. IN DUTCH!
