The Carpenter’s Eye

Columns on architecture and the city website Architectenweb
Commission: Architectenweb, Amsterdam
2018 – 2020

The editors of Architectenweb invited HvdH to write a monthly column for their website. Over a period of three years, these appeared under the title The Carpenter’s Eye. In the Dutch language it stands for the ability of craftsmen to measure their work on the eye, for the absolute of size and proportion which is necessary in my profession, just like an absolute pitch is useful for a musician. HvdH approaches the international current states of affairs in architecture from everyday design practice.
