The construction of the house, the designs by 'Schröder \u0026amp; Rietveld Architects', the war years, the renovations and the many family parties: this richly illustrated publication builds up a picture of the colorful life of the idiosyncratic Rietveld Schröder House.\u003cbr\u003e In addition to many previously unpublished photographs, drawings, designs and letters, the book provides in-depth insight into Rietveld and Schröder's collaboration and their shared ambition to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 Schröder's role was far greater than previously assumed. As a gifted designer, Schröder was much more than Gerrit Rietveld's 'muse'. Her creative vision proved crucial to their joint projects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith its bespoke design by Irma Boom, this publication is a tribute to the world-famous house built in 1924 that continues to inspire today. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRietveld Schröder House: A Biography of the House\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is an accessible and essential reference work for lovers of modern architecture, art history and revolutionary daring. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis publication coincides with the centenary of the Rietveld Schröder House, and is issued in collaboration with Centraal Museum Utrecht. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eText in English and Dutch. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Image (c) Rietveld Schröder House\u003cbr\u003e Fotoalbum met portretfoto's van Gerrit Rietveld - Collectie Centraal Museum Utrecht \/ Rietveld Schröderarchief\u003cbr\u003e Afbeelding van Rietveld Schröderhuis - aanzicht tussen bomen door, 1925 uit het zuiden, met kale boompjes - Collectie Centraal Museum Utrecht \/ Rietveld Schröderarchief\u003cbr\u003e Interieur verdieping, ingeschoven schuifwand woonhoek 1925 afdruk - Collectie Centraal Museum Utrecht \/ Rietveld Schröderarchief (c) Pictoright\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJessica van Geel\u003c\/b\u003e (born 1973) is a Dutch writer, journalist and historian.
