Lorcan O'Herlihy

In the work of Lorcan O'Herlihy, a significant emerging voice in this new generation, the faith in modernist reticence, in abstraction, in "white" architecture, is mediated through a contemporary sense of inventiveness in the use of materials, traditional and new, and a profound understanding of context, its landforms, vegetation, and above all, light.

J.J.P. Oud

J.J.P. Oud was a famed modern architect; his European contemporaries are Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. In Leiden in 1917, Oud, with the Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg and the expatriate Hungarian Vilmos Huszar, and fellow Hollanders Jan Wils and Bart van der Leck formed a collaboration between artists and architects a movement they called De Stijl. The loose knit group slowly disintegrated, but in terms of architectural style the movement sought a unity between art and society that flirted with Constructivism, developed theories of Neoplasticism, and what J.J.P. Oud called Cubism.
