This edition presents the Dutch architect Raoul Bunschoten and concentrates on his three latest projects (from the period 1988-91): Soul’s Cycle, Berlin and Apeiron and The Skin of the Earth. Bunschoten’s use of materials, ferrocement and steel, make a high degree of precision necessary. The heavy concrete sections are cast in specially-made moulds, and are held up by the collection of small steel plates and steel wire. At the same time, heavy objects are liberated from the ground, or move on wheels. Bunschoten has a bold, exciting vision.
