The Dutch-based office of NIO Architects has increasingly gained attention over recent years thanks to a number of intelligent projects carrying such names as ‘The Cyclops,’ ‘The Amazing Whale Jaw,’ and ‘David and The Hulk.’ By no means limited to one particular type of architecture, the office has produced a diverse combination of projects ranging from private and collective housing, factories, bridges, bus shelters and shopping centres. This monograph provides a generous survey of their output to date and features multiple colour photographs on each project, plans, elevations and models

The Dutch-based office of NIO Architects has increasingly gained attention over recent years thanks to a number of intelligent projects carrying such names as ‘The Cyclops,’ ‘The Amazing Whale Jaw,’ and ‘David and The Hulk.’ By no means limited to one particular type of architecture, the office has produced a diverse combination of projects ranging from private and collective housing, factories, bridges, bus shelters and shopping centres. This monograph provides a generous survey of their output to date and features multiple colour photographs on each project, plans, elevations and models, and is accompanied by explanations of each creation, along with an interview with Maurice Nio, the founder of the office.
