Summary
"The publication Working with architectonic DNA, explores the phenomenon of designing complex architectural projects that require continuous modification including expansion and contraction. The departure point is Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands -- an airport landscape of train lines, corporate architecture, highways, retail shops and parking lots: a space in constant flux as air travel patterns change. Dutch architect, Jan Benthem, who has made numerous designs for Amsterdam Schiphol Airport since the 70s, describes these projects as 'working with an architectonic DNA where projects need to be accessible at all stages of the design and construction'"--P. [4] of cover.
