Neutelings Riedijk Architecten is an architecture firm based in Rotterdam, Netherlands, founded by Willem-Jan Neutelings and Michiel Riedijk.
The work of Neutelings-Riedijk Architects has been characterized as having a sculptural, often anthropomorphic quality and a playfulness of form while following a clear rationality in programming and context.Because of the public nature of most of the firm's work, Neutlings and Riedijk see this sculptural quality as a way to communicate the building's role within its urban or social context. One of the firm's first buildings was the Veenman Printworks in Ede, Netherlands.
About the Architect
Recently completed and widely acclaimed is the Shipping and Transport College in Rotterdam, completed in 2005. Like the Veenman Printworks, the sculptural form and graphic quality of the skin are intended to act as a communications device enveloping rigorously-conceived programmatic elements.The building sits at the southeast corner of the Lloydspier, a reclaimed pier now undergoing redevelopment. The design of the building takes many of its cues from the shipping industry, using blue and white corrugated panels in a checkerboard pattern that evoke the image of stacked intermodal containers widely seen at the Port of Rotterdam. An auditorium is cantilevered from the top floor, offering views of the Maas River and Europort, read more at wiki
