The internationally renowned architecture office Mecanoo, led by Francine Houben and partners, creates buildings that evoke emotion and magic. Mecanoo’s projects are ‘spatial poems’ that transform everyday places into humane architecture that touches all the senses.

Mecanoo’s ability to transform manifests in a surprising range of designs such as the world-famous New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue, the futuristic theatre complex in Kaohsiung, the Delft Railway Station and City Hall, mixed-use tower Montevideo in Rotterdam, the Manchester Engineering Campus Development with its wide range of educational spaces and labs, and even a chapel and a national park.

Including texts and stories by the celebrated architecture critic Herbert Wright, stunning photography and inspiring illustrations, this publication provides a comprehensive portrait of one of the world’s most extraordinary architecture offices to date.

Mecanoo brings over 40 years of poetry to architecture.
