Artist/Maker	Herman Hertzberger (architect)
Place of origin	Netherlands (designed and made)

The Dutch architect Herman Hertzberger is known for buildings which are made of repeating parts, each of separate identity and arranged on a grid pattern. The architect argues that such honeycomb spaces make for better living and working conditions, giving the inhabitants greater freedom in communal interactivity and individual choices. Known architecturally as ‘structuralism’, Hertzberger has been one of the major players in Dutch Structuralism.

The building was won in competition but not built.
