Life and work
Michiel Riedijk studied architecture at the Technical University Delft from 1983 until 1989. He worked with architect Julliette Bekkering from 1989 until 1991 and in 1992 he founded Neutelings Riedijk Architects in collaboration with Willem Jan Neutelings.[1]
In September 2007 Riedijk accepted full professorship as chair of Public Building and Architectural Compositions at the faculty of Architecture at the Technical University Delft.
Michiel Riedijk regularly lectures at universities, conferences and cultural institutions worldwide. He taught at the Technical University of Eindhoven, the Academies of Architecture in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Maastricht, and the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam. In 2002, he was a guest professor at the RWTH Aachen.
Michiel Riedijk is recognized as international fellow of the RIBA.
Neutelings Riedijk Architects' work has been characterized as having a sculptural, often anthropomorphic quality and a playfulness of form while following a clear rationality in programming and context.[2] They believe that contemporary ornamentation results in buildings with a powerful expression that create new local identities in a globalized world. In 2018 Neutelings Riedijk Architects published the book ‘Ornament & Identity’, a multi-layered essay that presents the results of their search for expression and identity through a selection of thirty-six of their projects.
Key projects are the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden, Museum Aan de Stroom or MAS in Antwerp, the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision in Hilversum, The City Hall Deventer, Culturehouse Rozet in Arnhem, and Culture House Eemhuis in Amersfoort. The work of Neutelings Riedijk Architects has been widely published and exhibitioned, and has won a variety of international awards and nominations, such as the Gouden Piramide, the Dutch Building of the Year, the Abe Bonnemaprijs, the Rotterdam Maaskant Prize and the Mies van der Rohe Award shortlist. Their work has been selected for exhibitions in Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Venice, Beijing, Sao Paulo, Barcelona and Moscow.
