De Architekten Cie. was formed in 1988, but its roots go back to Frans van Gool's work in the 1960s and spread through the pivotal Rationalism of Carel Weeber in the 1970s and 1980s. Now, as then, the Amsterdam‐based practice's work represents the antithesis of tendencies towards a ‘soft’ architectural culture and instead reflects what it sees as the realities of society. Its oeuvre is both project specific and influenced by the individual designers, as acknowledged in the captions here; the consistency of De Architekten Cie. lies in its approach.
