Can architecture refrain from imposing, but still impress? Can architecture escape the straitjacket of style and yet be contemporary? The work of Dirk Jan Postel offers a definite positive answer. His oeuvre, showcased in this book in four thematic chapters, is an illustration of his open attitude towards each commission, independent of sorts and sizes. From cultural projects like museum Voorlinden to the domestic realm of private homes, and from urban interventions to furniture and jewellery.
The work shows an exploratory approach of the program, the pursuit of transparency, precision of detail and a pervasive sense of silence and minimalism. Above all, it demonstrates the transformative power of architecture to avoid barriers and extend space.
