The architecture of Frits van Dongen is ’restrained and exuberant, tough and glamorous’, according to the jury who awarded him the 2006 BNA Cube for his remarkable array of cultural buildings.

De Harmonie in Leeuwarden, the Pathé Cinema and Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam Zuidoost and the Philharmonie in Haarlem are already in place. Van Dongen has made of each one a festive affair, with behind the scenes a most efficient and user-friendly logistics structure.

Besides the projects listed above, this book documents five competition designs for a museum in Venlo, a theatre in Hoorn, a cultural plaza in Hoofddorp, a concert hall in Bochum and a cinema in Liège. Fred Feddes and Allard Jolles contribute a joint essay on Van Dongen’s oeuvre.

De Harmonie in Leeuwarden, the Pathé Cinema and Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam Zuidoost and the Philharmonie in Haarlem are already in place. The Amsterdam Conservatorium and Tagrijn pop music venue in Hilversum will follow shortly. Though they differ in terms of function and siting, Van Dongen has made of each one a festive affair, with behind the scenes a most efficient and user-friendly logistics structure.
