| 2nd revised edition The work of Herman Hertzberger is the subject of wide international esteem. 1991 first saw publication of Hertzberger’s Lessons for Students in Architecture, an elaborated version of lectures he had given since 1973 at Delft University of Technology. This immensely successful book has gone through many reprints and has also been published in Japanese, German, Italian, Portuguese, Taiwanese, Dutch, Greek, Polish, Iranian, Korean and Chinese. Space and the Architect is the second book written by Hertzberger. It charts the backgrounds to his work of recent years and the ideas informing it, drawing on a wide spectrum of subjects and designs by artists, precursors, past masters and colleagues, though with his own work persistently present as a reference. Space is its principal theme, physical space but also the mental or intellectual regions the architect calls upon during the process of designing. Once again Hertzberger’s broad practical experience, his ideas and his seemingly inexhaustible ’library’ of images are a major source of inspiration for anyone whose concern is the design of space. |

| It is a book of aphorisms and a repository of inspirational images - of relevance for anyone interested in architecture. | ||

| Einmal mehr wird Hertzberger’s praktischer Erfahrungsschatz, sein Einfallsreichtum und sein scheinbar unerschöpfliches Bildarchiv zur wertvollen Inspirationsquelle für alle, die sich mit der Gestaltung von Raum befassen. | ||

| Hertzberger selects particular aspects of the projects of other architects as well as some of his own, to use them as specific examples in a discourse on the social dimension of architecture. | ||
