Rietveld Schr�der House: A Biography of the House tells the story of the iconic house and its creators, Truus Schr�der (1889-1985) and Gerrit Rietveld (1888-1964). The construction of the house, the designs by 'Schr�der & Rietveld Architects', the war years, the renovations and the many family parties: this richly illustrated publication builds up a picture of the colourful life of the idiosyncratic Rietveld Schr�der House. In addition to many previously unpublished photographs, drawings, designs and letters, the book provides in-depth insight into Rietveld and Schr�der's collaboration and their shared ambition to radically change traditional (interior) architecture. The research by authors Natalie Dubois and Jessica van Geel also convincingly shows that Truus Schr�der's role was far greater than previously assumed. As a gifted designer, Schr�der was much more than Gerrit Rietveld's 'muse'. Her creative vision proved crucial to their joint projects. With its bespoke design by Irma Boom, this publication is a tribute to the world-famous house built in 1924 that continues to inspire today. Rietveld Schr�der House: A Biography of the House is an accessible and essential reference work for lovers of modern architecture, art history and revolutionary daring. This publication coincides with the centenary of the Rietveld Schr�der House, and is issued in collaboration with Centraal Museum Utrecht. Text in English and Dutch.
