Vincent Van Duysen Works 2009–2018 documents thirty projects from a decade in the practice of one of contemporary architecture's most precise spatial thinkers, photographed in large part by Helene Binet and Francois Halard.
About This Book
A companion volume to Van Duysen's first monograph, this publication traces the Belgian architect's evolving practice across a decade of refined residential, commercial, and public work. The projects span elegant European residences through to properties in New York, Paris, and the Hamptons, alongside larger-scale public commissions and product and furniture designs — including yacht interiors and decorative objects — that distil his approach to material and spatial detail at an intimate scale. Contextual essays by architect Nicola di Battista and architecture critic Marc Dubois position Van Duysen's contribution to contemporary architecture, while an illustrated chronology provides a complete survey of his recent output. The result is an essential record of a practice defined by restraint, spatial mastery, and meticulous detailing.
