Paradise of imperfection offers a broad view of architecture in relation to current social themes in over 35 short essays.
Architects design the decor of other people’s lives. This is a responsibility that requires permanent reflection. After all, architecture is the only field in which the state of society is given a concrete, spatial translation. Despite this great public interest, there is little attention for architectural design issues in the public debate in the Netherlands. Current spatial discussions are rarely about how the city is experienced, what it means to live in a densifying city or what the character is of the places where we want to live, work and live.
In Paradise of imperfection Violette Schönberger links her personal experiences from daily life in the city to her professional perspective of spatial design. The book offers a broad view of architecture in relation to current social themes, such as the housing challenge, the design of public space and the future of the city. The accessible essays are aimed at both colleagues and a broader interested audience. In Paradise of imperfection a new architectural critical voice can be heard on the spatial and urban design of the Netherlands. IN DUTCH!
