Interrelationships Between Social and Built Structures (Team 10)
1) "De Drie Hoven" Residential Building for Elderly People in Amsterdam-Slotervaart by Herman Hertzberger, 1974. In the original state, the primary structure was light grey (prefabricated concrete) and the facade elements dark grey and matt (wood construction). Today, the original proportions and colors of the facade elements are changed by the intervention of an unknown architect. Herewith the fine architectural quality of the original building has disappeared.
2) "Kasbah" Housing Estate in Hengelo by Piet Blom, 1973.

“Edith: Does anybody want me to flatter and be untruthful? Hotchkiss: Well, since you ask me, I do. Surely it’s the very first qualification for tolerable social intercourse.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)“If there are people who feel that God wants them to change the structures of society, that is something between them and their God.

—Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
