- Summary:
- The architecture of Bolles + Wilson exists at the intersection of German and English architectural cultures. Their attention to the quality of design filters down to even the smallest detail and there is a refreshing command of architectural fantasy that echoes the architects' early years in the London AA School of Architecture.
- The buildings of Bolles + Wilson leave clear markers in the diffused urban agglomerations. Peter Wilson states, "we attempt to take up one of the principle responsibilities of architecture: to focus, to anchor, to give measure." The present monograph shows recent buildings and projects from the period 1993 to 1997 in Munster, Castrop-Rauxel, Hengeloo and Rotterdam, where their New Luxor Theatre is a high point in the urban development program for this harbor-city.
