Projects 2001-2011 of Dam & Partners Architecten reflects ten years of research, analysis and design. Some projects have entailed long periods of study and decision-making, have been in the public spotlight, and have reaped criticism and praise. Others were seemingly completed in no time, unquestioned, with hardly a ripple of comment. Sometimes, projects disappear before even being given a chance. Taken as a whole, they provide an image of ten years of Dam & Partners Architecten against the capricious, rapidly changing background of construction in the Netherlands – and farther afield.

True to the motto of c’est l’oeuvre qui compte, again we want our work to speak for itself. Pictures tell the story, from a Communion Table to a five-star hotel, from an imagined space to a bustling section of the city. A poetical compilation without chronological or functional order, meant to excite and inspire. We see this selection of imagined and actually built projects as a logical follow-up to Work in Progress (2000) and, at the same time, as an account of growth and consolidation. Whereas Work in Progress strongly represents the quest for greater freedom and abandoning of such a strict vocabulary, this collection of projects represents a consolidation of this quest.

At the same time, it confirms the strength behind a number of essential constants typical of Dam & Partners that closely bind its former and more recent work.
